He made too much sense.

I am so old I remember when he was going to 4/80

Take an Ex Lax, that should fix it.

There it is.

I will have two of what he is having.

That would be absolutely terrible.

Nah, he is good for 180, at least.

One of these thing is true, the other is false. Also, he doesn't have sources.

[insert manager joke here]

If that was the deal, a team would have had Burnes months ago.

So is nothing happening in talks now?

Is his name Ron?

So then how much do you project him to be able to do, and how do you fill what he is unable to give you, especially when you are probably dealing the guys who could fill those innings.

You are going to assume he did at a level worth cleaning out a lot of prospect capital. What you call weird, I call judicious.

They did in 2018 and 2019. In neither year was Burnes among them. And if we are talking about starters to pay a lot for, I would rather it be 180 to 200 innings we were talking about. Instead we are talking about half of that.

I get that, but I also get that some guys aren't made to be 30 start guys.

I'd rather not catch the next Todd Ritchie where we try to project someone isn't ready to make a leap.

Someone convince me how it is worth it to back up the truck for a guy who hasn't pitched over 100 IP in a season since his 2017 A+/AA season.

It sounds great in principal, but those are things they should be getting at home.

And this is why women wait years, if ever, to say anything

Honestly if we are going to bring in another IF, I would prefer it to be Profar to LaStella just because with Tim Anderson, he seems to be able to take one solid DL stint a season, and having someone who can play SS should be important. I do wonder if the Sox are just going to roll with Tim Beckham and Leury Garcia in that roll though.

The idea that we are trusting 17-18 year old kids to be able to see the future and project which jobs and careers will be around in 10/20/30 years to a degree of certainty that many are going to carry six figures (or more) of debt in making that bet is absurd. These are the same kids we don't trust to drink or drive a rental car, but are fully putting a hundred thousand dollars worth of debt and their careers in the same hands. The best economists out there struggled to see the changes in the world during my lifetime. The fact that we are having kids bet their careers and financial futures on it is laughable. There has to be a better way to do this.

Hearing Vera is up to 97, I am just going to say that there is a real chance that he ends up being the best of this class for the White Sox.
