It's a baseball board. There will be talk about bad baseball here. Shocker that a dude who hit like Elko would have fans immediately jumping off of his bandwagon

Only the older utility players get that kind of runway. And GMs.

Isn't actually inspiring either. Looks like a Kwan/Arraez type ceiling.

That strike 3 to Varsho tho... eep.

Yeah, I was shocked he put a number to it, especially 3 years.

THEY HAVE @wegner BEHIND THE PLATE?!?!?? SOMEONE LOOK IN ON HAWK!

I said 2030.

So he is talking about 2029 essentially. Interesting.

Special teams has to be about the worst in the NFL. They are terrible

It's almost like you should clean house, right Jerry? Oh.

We went from DIY offense to Offense 501

The problem is last season was wasted with a terrible staff.

Happy Anniversary gang!

That's a really long post to say "You were right", and honestly I skipped most of it, but I appreciate it.

Getz being awful at his job isn't a good argument to have him make MORE trades involving guys whose clocks are running out. Luis Robert is the perfect example of that.

The story today is they always knew how bad it was and just lied to the fans, and too bad for people who believed them.

When you are the worst, and 2nd worst, team in baseball the solution is not to trade for players with short term control. What Varsho did the last two years is immaterial to a team that has lost 223 games since you proposed this.

Stop.

Just know that whoever we hire will be the greatest ever... at least until they are fired.

They just can't keep the D healthy this year.

Knowing what went on in TLRs clubhouses over the years, I wouldn't bet on it.

The Sox can protect anyone they want to protect.

We do this exercise every year. There is always at least one guy that people latch onto as someone we can't afford to lose, and they never get picked. The White Sox have no kind of a roster crunch. If they feel that they can't lose Adams and/or that he will be picked, he will be protected. If he isn't protected, the Sox aren't worried. Also, Shane Smith was definitely a guy expected to get picked. Besides not being on the shelf from TJS, Smith had a much higher K rate, velocity rate, and H/9 was also significantly better than Adams was last year.
