Nice. Glad to see the team getting back to work in LA.

Not sure. Could also be a deal where we take on a bad contract (specifically saw Darling mentioned) in exchange for Hossa's deal. Could also be something to get a team to the salary floor.

The number of ABs both players had before their major slumps is actually really close. The difference is that Moncadas were spread over multiple seasons, where Cano did his all at once.

Even better, the dude has just over 500 career PAs.

Robinson Cano you say? Check out his August of his rookie year, and that stellar .513 OPS he put up. Next. https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/split.fcgi?id=canoro01&year=2005&t=b

Yep, the White Sox will be getting Leury and Avi back in short order, so that is two extra players that have to be accounted for somehow. Whatever is in Charlotte today PLUS probably Rondon and Thompson. I think Trayce probably is a DFA candidate at the very least. Alfredo Gonzalez could well be the person to move out of Charlotte behind the plate, as he brought nothing to the table, then again I haven't seen Garneau, but his numbers look pretty awful too. I really think Saunders and Pressley are the two most likely OFs to go, plus I think you are right on Giovatella too.

So a catcher, a reliever, and an OF have to move out of Charlotte.

Relax. Whenever Avi is ready he will be in RF for the White Sox. Sadly it would have been Palka out there if he could catch a ball at least as well as a little leaguer.

Even that was a situation where he had been there for six years, not three months.

Still will bet you on this.

Thank goodness you have nothing better to be upset about.

And nothing screams bitter like a decades old grudge.

This is a rough transition. In one spot you are talking about opinions, and in the next you are talking about something that is completely unsupported by anything as if it were a fact.

Well on the bright side the Sox are going to keep the Tigers away from the #1 pick again.

Thompson is here because 3 people in front of him are on the DL. Once that changes, so will his big league status.

Great play by Anderson !

Shields has had another respectable outing.

Thomas has gotten SO much better on the air. When he first started he was brutal. He could actually do this full time now, if he wanted.

Ugh. The rebuild is still a toddler. Of course there are still questions. At the stage the Cubs and Astros were will losing 100 games a year. I have never gotten the rush to be first to declare failures and enjoy that. Get off your phones and go enjoy your dads and/ or kids instead of being miserable about a game that is supposed to bring happiness and escape.

So what you are saying is that there are no good GM's in professional sports?

It amazes me that someone would wield a quality education as an insult.

You are the real champion.

Leury is starting a rehab assignment in Charlotte.
