I take it no more information has slid out of the rest of the signings?

That's really good to know.

That's kinda disappointing. The report on Hernandez seemed way more positive than #42, though it really is a crazy space.

Rodriguez wouldn't bother me at all. Crochet or Vaughn i would be OK with if the return was a front line pitcher or star player. In this sort of a deal, I would not be happy.

Its a different world these days. https://www.freep.com/story/sports/college/2022/01/06/caleb-williams-qb-eastern-michigan-million-charlie-batch/9121150002/

That has to be an interesting read know that Holmes JUST got convicted.

There aren't a lot of guys I fear losing out of our system, but he is definitely near the top of the list.

Ramos would go on to be a star in Oakland. I got a feeling the kid is going to have a breakout year. He has gotten some raves and he has put in plus years as one of the very youngest at his levels in the US. The kid isn't turning 20 until what should be the middle of spring training.

He needs to file retirement paperwork to be officially "retired" and he probably can't with the league shut down. That's my guess.

What a fitting end of a dumpster fire of a season.

So more hurt feelings and memes. Got it. Yet, you still waste time and resources on this franchise. Brilliant.

Bravo on presenting 52 of 60 games in the context of a full season.

An exercise here is what would you pay for someone coming off of ... .249BA .303OBP .437SLG .740OPS 100OPS+

The Sox are sitting on back to back playoff births and are the favorites for next year in the AL Central, whenever that actually happens. I feel like this has almost taken on meme vendetta status, but this franchise can only be so much of a bad thing with 2 straight playoff appearances. No matter how you want to reframe the argument, they took what talent they had at the bottom, and turned it into a multiple time playoff team, with another appearance on the runway.

But of course the White Sox are now selling tickets to Spring Training. You can't make this shit up.

This, and pray in silence it goes away, seems to be the stories of his leadership style so far.

Well thank god we silenced Ken Ros... oh.

Haven't had one of these in a while, so why not. Just finished The Perfectionists by Simon Winchester. Started 1619 Project. Listened to the Podcast and picked up the book after Christmas at Barnes and Noble half price hardback sale. Also in queue is Tipping Point by Malcolm Gladwell, Land by Simon Winchester, The Doomsday Book by Marshall Brain, and It's Good to be the King about Mel Brooks.
