I wonder if they turn Amaya into Senzel or if they bench Baldwin for him?

Nah, we have Jacob Amaya for that.

Hopefully Ramos didn't spend that game day check all in one place.

And i have said this a million times, and will say it once more, but I don't blame Getz for getting us to a 61 win team last year. I won't hold guys like Benny, Yoan, Eloy, etc over him. I will judge him for what he has done since he got here a year ago, which is based on his moves that have managed to bleed 20 wins out of a 60 win team. Despite having some insanely high end talent, he hasn't managed to add nearly enough young talent to the system. We still trail not only the AL Central in real time, but almost all of the AL Central in terms of farm system. It's hard to make up ground when your future view is also behind everyone else. His biggest trade this year of Fedde which resulted in a former top prospect coming to the Sox was made based on the recommendation not of a scout, but an assistant hitting coach who was also fired weeks later. When you see that from the outside, how do you feel like we are going in the right direction? Outside of Brian Bannister, literally all I have seen is that apparently this is everyone else's fault, except the guy who was in charge of the minor league system which hasn't been able to produce one every day starter this year, in a year with literally no standards as to who gets put on to the active roster.

I would settle for several major leaguers at this point.

There's that Q take down.

This isn't like the usual nervousness of a 16 year old driving a car this first time. This that same kid crossing 3 lanes and ramming into a tree at 60 mph. Do you really need to see more before you go maybe he's not ready for this yet? We can give him credit for putting his seatbelt on first, but everything else is just scary.

Bold of you to assume that isn't exactly what Ozzie meant.

Of course he was.

Ah, that makes more sense, thought it is wild that he managed to get Taylor and Gonzalez in the same year.

Uh oh. Now you've done it.

Check, plus a couple of HR props, one of which is in so far. Sox are going to put my kids through college.

This is freaking wild. We had Gonzalez at #3?

"The Sox haven't been getting blown out" Hahahahahaha

Oof that was brutal.

The Sox are facing a guy making his MLB debut after having an era of 7 in AAA. I wonder what the shutout odds are?

Robert and Vaughn will both be long gone before this is even a .500 team again.

Yeah, you could remake the entire Sox scouting, drafting and development operations for the price of a Maldonado.

I was weird how successful it was, until it wasn't. Like they were flying along and flew into a brick wall, and then everything fell apart. I have seen failed rebuilds, but usually they just never go anywhere. I can't recall seeing something like this one.

I will be honest, I know nothing about this dude, but if can't hit, but can actually catch, he's a vast improvement over what we have done out there this year.

That includes the record setting losing streak.

Making a roster move, apparently.

There is a difference between patience and watching a clownshow trip over its own feet. Think about it, in the history of baseball, including the era where The Tank is a practiced methodology, no franchise in modern baseball history has been able to intentionally put together a worse team the White Sox did when they were supposedly trying this season. Sox fans want to see a clear plan and methodology. They have seen Captain Panic and the worst team in MLB history.
