It’s still .174. I made the same argument about Courtney Hawkins years ago. Got a few of the same comments you just gave. I get being young, but it’s 500 plate appearances. The ones who make it adjust. In A ball he was the same age deficit and did much better. It will be a miracle if he ever makes the major leagues let alone contributes to winning.

My mistake then. But to me, the Cease deal is down to Thorpe and Iriarte. I know people will still have some hope for Zavala, he was what I was most excited about when the trade was made, but while it’s probably occurred, the odds of a guy with a .174 average in high A with over 500 plate appearances being a productive major leaguer, are probably similar to White Sox playoff odds.

You, yourself, when the trade was made, said it was a piece short. So when any of the pieces fail, it’s a bigger deal.

For a long time too. When Maggs left, when the Big Hurt left, Jermaine Dye.... almost every time a guy who contributed a lot to the organization left, they trashed him.

Its another Reinsdorf sad state of affairs.

Someone is probably going to have to go into debt to pay the tax bill. It's hard to imagine they aren't prepared for this though. 102. But if there ever was someone who may be unprepared, it would be the McCaskeys. I read somewhere Pat Ryan has a right of first refusal to buy the shares. But he has to be pushing 90 himself.

They have said they have a plan to continue, but that family tries to screw each other out of everything. Our luck, it will mean very little, but there is some hope.

Now the fun begins. Her stake is divided up between a lot of McCaskeys and they are going to get hit with a huge bill from Uncle Sam. Do enough sell and take the money to rid us of this awfulness forever?

The one positive, is if you got this and went to all the games, that's 27 games you don't have to hear Schriffen.

Yeah but you get zinged with the fees.

You will get stuck there Opening Day, but they will probably have it closed most games.

Ballpark Pass is back. They must really be at the bottom. $125 for all home games in March, April and May.

Several years ago, season ticketholders did get to take batting practice. I get emails almost daily because I used to have tickets. They recently stated I have a credit in my account to try to get me to respond.

The Twins have signed the Master.

Bulls fans have accepted it. Still show up in huge numbers. NBA hell with hopefully a playoff home game or two for the checking account is their goal. At least Sox fans, at least us fake ones, get fed up. JR has to show his true colors and run the payroll down to nothing because people won't pay for this s%*#.

Myles Garrett has requested a trade.

Not that any of this really matters, but it begs the question, why didn't they just DFA DeLoach the first time? Minds were changed based on what?

Once mediocrity is accepted, It's the best you are going to get.

I wonder why Sac wants Zach and DeMar. Haven't they paid attention the last few years. Each is much better without the other.

Clearly missing the boat on Thorpe, and if you don't think Sammy Zavala and his career .174 average in high A is not going to be a contributor to good MLB teams, you're a racist.

Yeah, the location is why they suck. Just an FYI, it’s easier to get to the Rate than any other professional sports facility in Chicago.

There are still a ton of recognizable names available.

He was a bad draft pick in a horrible draft.

He might get hurt signing the contract.
