It means DFA is coming. Once they move him up the line up, it becomes imminent.

Sure, but most of us don't jerk off to them.

Ope.

Ignore the names in the post, but pay attention to the number of PAs by each position in the batting order. Why, in an era of analytics and such, do we insist on putting our worst hitters in prime positions to get as many ABs as possible? We were literally maximizing some of the most value PAs for a guy we were literally on the verge of cutting. The difference between the 1 and 9 slots is almost an PA per GAME. The difference between the 4 and 9 slots is an extra PA every 2 games.

It's like a DFA punch card. We'll know it's close when he hits clean up.

Palacios started the last two days, including hitting clean up two days ago. WTF is it with this organization? I am glad they finally sent him out for one of the kids who should be playing as much as possible in Baldwin.

My favorite is the reading what the same people telling us how we got such a great deal for Vaughn now, told us all how incredible he was going to be as a slam dunk hitter for the Sox.

~$2.5 million.

This. There is no reason to rush a kid who isn't even a year out of high school.

Right about the time Tony LaRussa came back to the White Sox, pretty much every one fell apart.

Can't be for this year. They just gave away their remaining cap space.

I don't know about pro-Sheets, but tendering a contract to Vaughn in the off season was stupid then, and it didn't work out any better in hindsight.

Don't worry, they will all have their new talking points very soon.

This is exactly the point.

I would also accept: Aaron Civale unrequests trade from Brewers.

FIP of 5.53 could be scary coming here.

This looks like a my cat s%*# for your dog s%*# trade, but hopefully a change of scenery type deal does it.

Sounds like someone else I know...

It's Spanish for Can't Hit For s%*#

I went back and looked, I think it was Jaren Kendell

Wasn't there a similar guy that the Dodgers drafted about five years ago? Can't recall the name, but a huge power guy, low hit, high strike out profile?

Is it Sunday already?
