Wow, are you really that desperate to try to change the truth of what actually happened? You have lost your mind. It literally happened, and here you are making stuff up to try to pretend it didn't. It's documented by multiple sources, the videos are there for all to see, and somehow this turned into, well whatever this is. 1984 is real y'all.

So the inmates are running the asylum, and there is nothing the team can do about it. That's a wild defense.

Ignoring the ridiculous non sequitor, so we have a management that is apparently incapable of saying no? That's not better, you realize that, right?

Also fair. This has been a fun ride so far.

I really wonder if there is a market for post 16 year old late bloomers in the international market. Guys don't always show up when they are 14/15/16 years old, but can grow into their bodies, have late growth spurts, etc.

I would bet on there being a sweet spot in the middle. Obviously he can't fall apart, but he also can't turn himself into the $300 million hitter that was being bandied about before his price in the offseason. He has to be good, but not Aaron Judge good.

My impression is that the two years thing made it easier to sell to Jerry.

Jerry let the best player in franchise history walk away over money, after insisting on, and then invoking, the diminished skills clause in his contract. Jerry is quite dumb enough.

As of today 1 qualified player is above 5, let alone 6. Only 4 are at 4.5/9 or more. For the Full 2025, the highest number was 4.46. 2024 it was 3.68.

Don't be gullible. This isn't even something up for interpretation.

Just shut up. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.mlb.com/amp/news/luis-robert-left-hand-injury-white-sox-2022-season.html

So you went back a generation and two generations to find guys who did this. Thanks for making my point for me.

Show me someone succeeding at the major league level with 6bb/9

It's 100% missing that players go to the minors for rehab assignments so they can play at 70/80/90% effort, when they can't do that at the major league level. The fact he was unable to go full out at the major league level proves this. Just because he is "playing" doesn't mean he is major league ready. It skips out over the important details here.

Some well known facts. -The Sox are well known for having one of the smallest front offices in baseball. -The Sox have one of the smallest scouting staffs in baseball. -The Sox have zero far east staff. -Even with the new clinic in Latin America, the Sox are way under invested there, both in scouts and staff. -The Sox are the only team in MLB who haven't give out a nine figure deal. -If it weren't for Chris begging Jerry for Murakami, the Sox would be dead last in MLB in payroll despite being a major market team. -The Sox are behind all of MLB in their advanced stats work, and instead of developing their own proprietary data, they are hiring interns to interpret data. And I haven't even touched the Bulls yet.

No, you don't get you make unfounded lies and pretend otherwise. Repeatedly posting racist tropes is literally the easiest possible argument on the planet. If you want to ACTUALLY follow forum rules you will drop the racist garbage. Your stalking my posts with hate laughs, plus the veiled tropes just go to show you accuse of what you practice.

74 walks in 105 pro innings show otherwise.

The tone has gotten less objective information, more if you disagree you hate the Sox.

You might want to consider AA.

People qualifying Jerry as cheap has been wholly owned by his actions as Bulls ans Sox owner and has nothing to do with yet another trope you are hung up on.

So Hays was never close to healthy enough to be useful, but the Sox rushed him up anyway. Quality roster management, as always.

Google is free, right?

The Sox always Getz their man.

He's not pitching deep into games, and he's walking 2 batter every three innings. It is a dumb idea setting Hagen up to fail.

In a world full of trolls, this is 3rd rate, at best.
