If he can catch a baseball, he is an upgrade over Sheets.

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Any chance you can also put in for an upgrade of Jerry and/or the White Sox? TIA

A plus fielder and no hit is way better than the no hit, no field guys we have been running out to RF forever.

Ah yes, the good ol Gavin Sheets experiment.

There is a new guy up top. https://www.mlb.com/prospects/whitesox/

Absolutely! We love you Jas!

Starting is all about being conditioned to go a lot of pitches. If they aren't, that's where problems start.

For the types of reasons previously outlined, such as minor league conditioning programs.

It's been a while since I got to do this... but GAGED!

Looks like the upgrade has finished. Welcome to the other side.

Sadly, they would still be 20 games out of first.

For me? High school football. We are now officially in Week 1.

No matter who you are, the first thing you should learn as an adult is the Rule of 72. It works for interest rates and for rates of return, and is absolutely vital for your life's savings.

Of course it is.

And best of all we will have 9 players picked in front of us, so no matter who breaks out from that group, we will have a decade to rue the day this anti-tanking rule was put into place, because no matter who it is, he will always be the guy the Sox should have picked.

There it is.

I will say this much, there was a definite camp of people pissed off when we let James McCann walk away, but holy crap did we play that to perfection. We got him to .276/.335/.474/.808 114 OPS+ His career averages .241/.293/.377/.670 82 OPS+ Since he left .222/.278/.338/.616/ 73 OPS+ The only two times he had an OPS+ over average in his 11 year career? With the Sox. Same with Jose Abreu's and Lucas Giolito's career move after the Sox. That Rick Hahn is a genius.

To the IL.

And you hope Grant Taylor finds health.

He honestly either doesn't care or doesn't want to care. This shtick has been going on forever.

Honestly? I would trade Crochet for a top notch GM in a heartbeat. Granted I don't think Dayton Moore is that guy, but I wouldn't hesitate to do it for an actually good front office head.

He was one of the biggest failures of the rebuild. He was supposed to be a superstar Frontline starter. Instead he failed at that, then failed at relieving, even revealing that he refused to listen to coaching. I couldn't care less about the rest of it. I won't ever root for the guy.
