And then they all watch it fall.

And Eloy is hurt... because of the White Sox.

It's like the Sox drafted and developed him themselves.

It would have been interesting to see how he handled this season? Drunk? Complete silence? Both?

Even for all of the Bannister talk, nothing has gone right outside of Crochet. You can argue Fedde, but you can just as easily say he fixed himself last year. Past that? Ew.

And sadly this is the closest thing to an internal success story that we have in the infield. We scouted and signed Sosa internationally. We fully developed him all by ourselves under Getz leadership. He is the best IF we have created in the since Tim Anderson.

Hiring from within a company is meaningless if the candidates are not qualified and had failed at their previous jobs which feed into their promotional job.

Roster expansion is only 2 slots now, and they went with Iriarte and DeLoach.

Well that is the kiss of death.

The Sox may well have room to improve 50 WINS from 24 to 25, and still not make the playoffs.

72 wins would in 2025 would be the most beloved team in Sox history.

The Hawks are at least in a convincing talent acquisition phase, but they aren't quite there yet. Still can't quite feel them after everything that happened with the abuse cover ups. The Bears should be the best team in Chicago right now.

Be something like a 30 to 35 win improvement over this season.

It's honestly crazy how much better the Sox are keeping pitchers healthy, than they are keeping hitters healthy.

The problem is Jerry is Jerry, and he won't approve a long term contract to a pitcher, let alone an injury prone one.

Crochet isn't really making any money right now, so probably another minimum wage guy. My guess is they aren't doing any real spending until at least .500 is in sight.

And for an non-incestuous organization, it also means you could still bid on him as a FA, just like you could have if you kept him.
