Shouldn’t White Sox hitters be taking advantage or does this only happen to White Sox pitchers? At so,e point, and now, in spring training, I understand why you don’t want to, you’re going to have to realize they aren’t as good as most teams. And that they suck.

Counting on DeJong to be a part of your success is like signing Dallas Keuchel and expecting him to be successful.

He's probably just as good as any other position player Getz acquired and he couldn't get a deal until Spring Training was about over.

When you have this much talent, you're going to have to say goodbye to several great players.

These guys are all on the train competing and bunting, and all that good stuff. Playing for their careers. You have so many great players, it's hard to make a decision.

OMG.

That won't happen to Crochet. His arm will just fall off.

After his no hitter, wasn't Lorenzen god awful?

He looks a little too nice. Maybe grow some chin hair about 4 inches off his jaw and add a few neck tats.

I agree with Rusty

As dumb as they are, I don't think they are that stupid. I think one of the reasons for the Opening Day assignment is the off day that follows to get the bullpen reset. Unless he throws a couple of 9 pitch innings, I doubt he makes it into the 4th.

I think he's pretty good when healthy. It is what it is. I'm more pissed off the Sox are in a position to have him be the OD starter than he actually being the OD starter. On the bright side, he being the OD starter is better than Gavin Sheets being the OD RF, which may have only been stopped by the Tigers starting a lefty.

He started 6 games as a freshman at Tennessee, 6 games as a sophomore, and 1 as a junior going 3.1 innings, so there really is no history of being a starting pitcher.

Yeah because who needs to go to class.

I get all that but you send him to Charlotte to work as a starter, you may never see him again. I know Ray Ray thinks injuries are random, but this guy was hurt before he was drafted, and has been hurt every year he's been in the organization. Now "stretching him out" and throwing more pitches is the supposed answer from the same people who would call for a managers head if he let someone throw 130 pitches in a game. Makes no sense. He's going to get hurt, probably pretty soon. As long as they realize he's a reliever starting and don't try to do too much with him at least at the beginning, fine, whatever. But really, a closer pitching 55 innings a year is what he should be.

There are plenty of people who think he will be healthier as a starter. That's insane

He’s been compared a lot to Sale, and his career has gone like many figured Sales career would have gone, but Chris somehow managed to stay relatively healthy for many seasons. Then it started happening. He gets hurt every year. Crochet is doing that as a guy in his early to mid 20s.

You throw more pitches as a starter, He was hurt pre Covid when the Sox drafted him. He was hurt in the 2020 division series. He spent time on the IL in 2021, he missed 2022; and spent more time on the IL after he came back last year. I wish the guy well, but anyone who thinks his injuries are behind him is stoned.

Might as well get as many "starts" as you can before he clutches his elbow or shoulder. They used to call these guys openers. Maybe they think the bullpen gets a day off on Friday, so the short start won't matter as much.

I liked Fields. the only concern I have with Williams is he will be a rookie next year. Most rookie QBs have a bit of a problem their first year. The Bears should be better than most teams who pick #1, but there's going to be a learning curve, and that could be tough if its playoffs or bust.

According to Bob Tommy Pham may sign with SD for $3 million-&4 million. If it falls through, the Sox are interested. And Clevinger wants at least 2 years $20 million.

In a league where Mitch Trubisky gets multiple chances, I can’t imagine a team that wouldn’t mind having Justin Fields at least as their back up QB.

I don’t think that’s necessarily true. They didn’t want to pay Poles price. He didn’t adjust until he ran out of options.

So is Clevengers problem his accusations against him or that he still wants too much money? Or a combo? Chapman has had no problem getting jobs abd he fireda gun at a woman or at least tried to scare her. And now he's on TMZ fondling his mother's breasts.

Stone just told Pedro he was a cerebral guy. How dumb does he think the listeners are?
