Can you imagine San Diego having to go back to their fans to say they had a seat at the table... with the Chicago White Sox???

That is all accurate.

Forget it, he's rolling.

I take it back, apparently the Sox outbid San Diego for Pham... Wow, WTF are we doing?

The Twins beat us to Kemp

There is no story on this. AJ is the only source. The Sox haven't said anything, and I am sure they won't. All of these "inside source" guys will probably be back soon with clever rewords of exactly what AJ just said they try to pass of as new information.

Or he puts up a .400 OPS like the rest of them...

No one except the Sox wanted him, and the Sox only took him at half of that number.

This is the truest statement of the whole thread.

Thinking a bit more about this question, the real point isn't embarrassment. It really goes to forcing enough embarrassment to actually force substantive change of the organization from top to bottom. If we don't achieve that level of embarrassment, this group will continue to fly under the radar with business as usual, pretendingthis was all a part of the plan. That's why I want this to burn. Let a new forest grow up in its ashes.

It is one thing to have a roster of guys with .600 and .700 OPS production. It is another when half the line up is in the .300s. I don't know if it is a collective slump or what, but this is literally as bad as it gets. Even bad MLB talent should get lucky more often than this

You are now playing 3 more players short.

Run along.

A bit dramatic, right?

So when do we find out about the Pedro extension?

No, Luis Robert is literally at home raking his yard. There can be no other logical explanation.

Even the guys who are here are historically bad. Like we knew they wouldn't be good, but guy are ducking way under even their own shitty career numbers which isn't easy to do for a lot of these guys.

Bold of you to assume he would have a similar performance here.

It was hard to underperform this teams offensive expectations, but here we are.

It is impossible to figure out who you are talking about without going back to the original post.

Looked in real time like an ankle twist.

If it doesn't make a difference why is he churning the roster like a shitty fantasy owner?

He's panicking. He has a plan, but as soon as he got hit in the mouth he started flailing for anything and everything. What he did over the winter made sense if he was trying not to rush people, but him releasing prospects to sign flotsam only to release them a week later is some OOTP crap. He really is acting like he isn't capable of doing this job.
