My favorite is the reading what the same people telling us how we got such a great deal for Vaughn now, told us all how incredible he was going to be as a slam dunk hitter for the Sox.

~$2.5 million.

This. There is no reason to rush a kid who isn't even a year out of high school.

Right about the time Tony LaRussa came back to the White Sox, pretty much every one fell apart.

Can't be for this year. They just gave away their remaining cap space.

I don't know about pro-Sheets, but tendering a contract to Vaughn in the off season was stupid then, and it didn't work out any better in hindsight.

Don't worry, they will all have their new talking points very soon.

This is exactly the point.

I would also accept: Aaron Civale unrequests trade from Brewers.

FIP of 5.53 could be scary coming here.

This looks like a my cat s%*# for your dog s%*# trade, but hopefully a change of scenery type deal does it.

Sounds like someone else I know...

It's Spanish for Can't Hit For s%*#

I went back and looked, I think it was Jaren Kendell

Wasn't there a similar guy that the Dodgers drafted about five years ago? Can't recall the name, but a huge power guy, low hit, high strike out profile?

Is it Sunday already?

10 teams got zero Not Play For votes. 9 teams got zero Play For votes. 2 teams got 30, or more, Not Play For votes. 0 teams got crossover voting. 0 players selected Will Venable to play for, and 0 also selected him as not play for.

MLB.com even sent it out as breaking news as a push on it's app.

I have a read a lot of crazy things on Soxtalk before, but that was a new one.

For a team that is supposedly advancing so much in analytics, it is unexplainable.

Like to play for the White Sox: 0 Not like to play for the White Sox: 31

Honestly with how little things changed from Hahn to Getz, it makes a ton of sense. Same weird line ups, same playing DFAs in key positions until the day they are released, over dependence on washed up vets instead of kids, blocking kids, etc. Someone like Tony and/or Jerry still sticking their nose in to "help" would check out.

Gotta keep it simple I suppose. Though it is weird that the "Jedi" apparently believe in Emperor Jerry.
