White Sox waiting for movement like

For the record, SS gets a +7.5 dWAR adjustment, while 2B gets 2.5. So to be very clear, there is a HUGE defensive advantage that Elvis Andrus has had for 5 years in the fWAR component which he would lose if he comes to play 2B. https://library.fangraphs.com/misc/war/positional-adjustment/

It looked like the type of football play that happens every game. Prayers for Hamlin.

Wasn't Finley the one who tried to sell off all of his good players in the early 70s to the point where MLB stepped in and voided deals?

You would be using the number 2 pick to create either a bench player, or turn your franchise player into a bench player. With as many holes as they have they just can't.

Afraid to speak? Jesus, for a guy whose feelings get hurt anytime someone doesn't agree with him, you sure need to quickly resort to insults to make up for a lack of substance. If you want this kind of a discussion I will give it to you. But don't start crying again when I give you what you keep trying to start. I don't know why you have a complete lack of ability to read, but I did very clearly explain why using seasonal fWAR accrued as a starter at SS, compared to 2B which doesn't get the same positional bonus adjustments, AND compared to someone who wasn't starting over those same 5 years instead of neutralizing their positional differences and looking at their offensive lines which are both trash over the same period of time, as I also clearly stated. If you took 2 seconds to look, you would see me very clearly saying this to show not that Leury is good, but that Andrus has been a trash player for half a decade now, just like Leury Garcia, by calling them both trash. Signing Andrus us signing another Leury. Now if you want to pay attention and actually have a decent conversation, we can. if not, I can drop down to your level. Get over your damned feelings and try to keep up.

FWAR is a counting stat. If you look at raw offensive lines, their OPS over the last 5 years is essentially identical. Fwar is also rolling in all of the defensive additions from Elvis starting at SS during that time versus Leury being mostly a bench player. Elvis isn't playing SS here unless TA is gone and not replaced. At the end of the day they are both sub .700 OPS guys over the last 5 years. They are both trash.

Elvis Andrus was the definition of a SSS hot streak. His last five years are on par with Leury Garica, even with his hot streak. Signing him and expecting him to be the guy who went nuts for a month last year would be the most White Sox of moves. Maybe as a utility guy and fill in, but no, not as a starter.

The saddest part of all is that the JR group isn't even the worst ownership group in Chicago.

Call about LeBron. Get nuts.

DC and the Angels? Not sure about the stadium.

Yes, Jerry and Co has been thinking of us the fan base the whole time he was spending less and keeping those profits. This is absolutely laugh reacts only type of stuff right here.

Well, if the Sox go to SInclair, that is one quick way to get me to watch a lot less of them, because I am sure not handing any of my money over to them.

Is it though? .249/.305/.282/.588 vs .238/.257/.352/.609

Of all of the positions we could try to fill internally, I think 2B is the one we have the most quality options. If they had done a bit more shopping in the OF and the pitching, I wouldn't even feel bad about them going internal here. But as it is, we have a lot of question marks. You can get by with a failure or two if everything else is solid. But the more questions you have, the more that can go wrong.

I will allow it.

This is one of the least surprising things this offseason if you have been paying attention.
