I think Correa going from Minute Maid to Detroit would be similar.

IIRC, the batting average is a pretty big surprise. He was drafted with off of the charts raw power, but not much else.

Can something open for 25 years really be considered "iconic"? Come on man.

But richer, so...

Wow.

When Boomers twitter.

The answer is our pitching staff does NOTHING to help the catchers by holding runners close.

Long Covid is definitely a thing already.

$ure wonder what $olution they came to with the$e guy$?

This is great to hear.

I keep waiting for him to get DFAd

He wouldn't say.

The irony is that this applies to Eloy as well. You have to be healthy to take advantage of your upside, and he still hasn't proven he can do that. Eloy repeating his 2021 performance doesn't help the team either. We can't just bank on one of these guys exploding while assuming the other one won't. when there is a plenty of contradictory evidence to go around.

Yes, I pointed out the falsehood. Have you been on a message board before? The rest of it also ignores the other part I pointed out in a different post WHICH YOU IGNORED in that this is a kid who essentially skipped the minor leagues and STILL managed to hold his own in the majors, despite having never played anything longer than a college baseball season + a bit of MiLB in his life, and not being conditioned for a 162 games yet. He has a TON of upside as a hitter, and that hasn't changed, despite the effort to focus on a couple of small negatives over his first season in MLB. I also think he may well play LF more than Eloy simply because Eloy is very regularly hurt from his incompetence in LF. Its also worth noting that if we want to focus just on the small and bad things, Eloy wasn't exactly a superstar hitter last year with his big ol .740 OPS and OPS+ of 100.

It is 100% wrong. Andrew Vaughn is NOT the most hyped prospect since Brian Anderson. That is ridiculous.

It wasn't a "small issue". The set up crew had given away a lot of games and had put up awful numbers, again including Heuer.

If you are trying to contend that the White Sox pen didn't need help at the deadline, you would have totally ignored the gaping hole in the pen. It had been awful outside of Hendriks in the month leading up to the deal, including Heuer. The Sox saw that hole, and filled it with the best reliever on the market, statistically. The awfulness of the Sox pen in July has already been shown.

Sure, but Deutsche Zeppelin Reederei at least kept their asset allocation such that they maintained their financial flexibility.

The Sox could have been done with all of these contracts after this year. They could still be done with them. They could also promote internally if they so choose. But that still doesn't alter the original premise that somehow Hernandez should have been known as a failure for the last five years, but the other guys get an asterick applied to them because of some other made up standards that actually apply to the Sox as well, but you still make up another reason to disqualify them.

Because of "asset allocation" meaning it was OK for Atlanta to do it 4 times, but not the Sox to do it once, despite the Sox ow So Atlanta didn't trade anyone to get these guys? That doesn't enter the equation for Atlanta, but only the Sox? Boy that sounds familiar. You are quite literally making up justifications for the last failed justifications you had made.

I also can't help but think this is funny timing for it to come out after the TLR experience of JR going over all of their heads. Typically I would expect them to promote Hahn, but I still wonder how good he is with getting usurped and embarrassed like that.
