Says the guy who claims he knows exactly what he was going through. Everything Lucroy is saying this year, he said last year, and he got 1 plate appearance.

You make is sound like he was clingling to life, and is lucky to ever walk again. He was well enough to play. Considering what constitutes reasons for taking some time off these days, his injury isn't as "harrowing" and you make it out to be. Miguel Cabrera played with 2 herniated discs and somehow managed an .850 OPS a few years ago. And he hasn't been out of baseball 2 years. He played in 2019 and couldn't make the Red Sox except for one game last season.

There's a reason Lucroy is on a minor league contract. He has sucked. As much as catching is so coveted, and guys who really can't do much get guaranteed contracts, he couldn't get one You want to say he's been hurt for 5 years, and that is the reason, and he isn't hurt anymore, that's fine with me. But chances are he is a replacement level player at best.

Clearly Lucroy is poised to return back to his form with the Brewers. Everyone knows it. That's why the Sox had to really pay up and sign him to a minor league contract.

It’s either going to be explosive or very boring. I tend to think boring. No one with the White Sox has ripped or even questioned Coop in any way since he was let go, so he may not have anyone to go after. Maybe Ozzie. I wonder if Coop will have a couple in him before the interview starts.

If the Bears give up the farm, get Wilson, and still suck, who cares? At least they will suck with a good QB for once.

Yes, you can still get it, but it keeps you out of the hospital and morgue.

I read a scout saying Andrew Vaughn was Paul Konerko on steroids. I wouldn't trade him. He is going to be in the middle of the line up for a long time. If the scout is correct, that is a HOF type of guy. I don't think RH wants his legacy to be a guy who traded multiple HOFers before they even got started.

At least 3 weeks.

He knows the strike zone about as well as any White Sox since Frank Thomas.

Speaking of catchers, 40 years ago today, the White Sox announced they had agreed to terms with Carlton Fisk. It took another 9 days for it to be official.

Especially if people are willing to pay the current prices on Stubhub.

I wish Kyle Long well, but I think we know how it is going to end.

Yes. We knew he wasn't going to make the team. Who cares if he gets blasted? Now Burdi, different story, but it is March 8th.

Katz will fix him.

Just got an email from the White Sox. They will have pods of tickets available per homestand. Season ticketholders have priority based on tenure and type of package. He said package. They said capacity will be determined homestand by homestand. Masks will be required.

He needs to let Eloy catch the ball. I love that he is aggressive and covers a lot of ground, but this happened a couple of times last year, and they are going to make a routine fly to LF a disaster with the ball flying out of his glove some day, and one or both guys getting hurt.

I get Robert covers a lot of ground and is the better fielder, but with a routine flyball to LF, just let Eloy catch it before they both get hurt.

1 minute 20 second top of the first. Buehrle is jealous.

A ticket is one thing, matching up a vaccine card with an ID is another.They can't just scan the code.

If you had to show proof you were vaccinated, it would take hours to get in. And there is no way the city or county or state is going to leave it up to minimum wage employees to determine if your info is correct. The capacity will be determined by the number of people vaccinated and the rate of infection.

It is going to be interesting how they spread everyone out. They are going to have to make some financial adjustments to some of the people in your situation. Someone is getting screwed.

Whatever happened to a bullpen is a crapshoot? I guess if you have a good one, that is thrown away.

It's 8,122 per game. Probably will start out season ticketholder only for a while. Even a few season ticketholders will be shutout at least a little bit. As a long time season ticketholder, I can say I have been to a lot of games there were nowhere near 8,122 in attendance.
