I actually agree with you for once.

Their top catching prospect is one of them.

I get that, but the way the rules are, it's much easier for a team to take a pitcher. These guys all need some development or they wouldn't be available. A hitter basically loses a full season of develpment. A pitcher, not so much. And you can use them in garbage time, which there will be plenty in 2025.

You look back as some drafts, and some of the first rounds are absolutely brutal.

Like i wrote, odds are, they never get Ohtani. Even the Cubs had no shot. But how about Harper? Totally worth his contract. Changes the narrative about the whole organization. Didn't even put out an effort. As long as JR is around, unless the Sox get really lucky and draft a star, they aren't signing one.

The draft lottery is today.............................nevermind.

Shows you how backwards the White Sox thinking was not even considering him. Obviously a trillion to one that they could sign him, but JR doesn't understand, even though he had Michael Jordan, stars pay for themselves. It's the other fodder that burns you.

I think there is a distinct possibility this team flirts with breaking their own record for losses in 2025.

I was a Madrigal fan, but he makes Robert and Moncada, and Eloy look like Cal Ripken.

The coolest player ever. Everyone else looked like a dork wearing a helmet in the field. He looked cool.

Just think, by halfway through next season, the Mets are contractually obligated to pay Soto more than any contract the White Sox have given out.

f*** yes.

He was a great guy. My wife is a lawyer and they have to go these things for credit every year, so she went to sports law thing and Bill was speaking. A couple of years later we were at one of those Grinder's Bashes they used to hold. I went to the bathroom, and when I came back, Bill and my wife were talking. She told him what a great job he did giving his presentation, and he said he was really nervous because he was the only non lawyer in the room. Then I told him my story. I was a little guy. Mayonnaise disgusts me. When he went the last day for the HR title, after I ate my cereal, I stuck my face in a jar of mayo. It made me throw up and get to stay at home from school to watch the game. He batted leadoff to maximize his chances, and he did it.

Kind of weird you sign a minor league contract for a minor league team.

That was Don Cooper as well.

He has never threatened to move. He said when he dies, his son may have to sell to outsiders because they may be worth more somewhere else. It won’t happen.

The White Sox want a new park and they weren’t over .260 let alone .500.

I heard some call DePaul the White Sox of College Basketball.

Warren is an outsider who doesn’t understand how things work in Chicago. No way it gets built where they want it. Maybe down south, but is that better than Arlington? I have always thought it would be in AH. They own the land. They would own the building.

Robert was talking about the new approach they had him on last season. Frank Thomas heard it, and said it was nuts.

You keep telling us how bad Thorpe is. Now you're saying it's better to have a guy like him, then gamble and hope Robert plays to his talent level, because if he doesn't, you wind up with nothing. I'm rolling the dice. Panicking with Cease cost the Sox. Hopefully, they learned a lesson.

Weak returns don't help you win. They have to hold out and hope he plays better.The only one getting burned is JR because he has to pay him. So I don't care.

Chris Getz sucks, but if I was him, I'm asking for the moon for Robert too. What is he supposed to do, ask for garbage? And if he can't trade him, and Robert gets hurt, so what, the team missed out on garbage. Either they get something good, or he plays and hopefully plays really well so someone will give up something for him. if not, let him go after next season.

I'm calling him Roberts until he's elite again.

He was out of bounds though. It's weird. They have a sideline camera, but can't use it for replay because it's not in every stadium. Why not just get the call right? Or just take it out.
