Juiced ball offsets that for me.

The handedness decision of this org are amazing. IS Skole still hanging around? Actually Cordell helps Charlotte so good for them as not sure Engel or Skole are answers there as much as Cordell. I'd like to see AAA make some playoff noise just to get more time for those guys.

He is but it is a tax dodge, then he can play winter ball and be stateside next spring. This is an easy way to get back into swing of things, literally.

If this is Gio for the next few years...tatis stings much less. The issue with Abreu and to a degree anderson is the OBP is so low that hey will never reach a sabermetric level they could, look at Abreu's OPS.

Nova's deal is not going to impact signing a better starter. If they signed a top 5 free agent starter they would still need a guy like Nova. Nova is a nice back end guy as he takes the ball every 5th day and gives you 6 innings. There are too many Covey, Banuelos, Santiago, Deitweiler starts Especially if Kopech and Cease have inning limits. Even with resigning him they need another starter.

This year has certainly taught us we need capable arms and he is one of them.

Why is Engel playing over Cordell.....I see no upside in Engels game.

So bote at short and happ at second........no Baez? Darvish is pitching out of his mind and castellanos is unconscious as well.

The ole 1-2-3 a pitcher's best friend.

Saw on gamecast that the catcher hit a single on a softly hit ground ball to first base......similar to what happens in girls tee ball I assume

Ryan Cordell is not good but he is a better DH option than Wellington Castillo......this is mindblowing. Almost as bad as Castillo batting ahead of Eloy yesterday.

So McCann caught the second game yesterday and should sit today while Wellington showed again what a disaster he is....oh and he will bat 4th again for some odd reason.

Play Texas and Seattle at home in April. Ton of off days in July, that makes sense.

I think this is a great idea. Really surprised it isn't the cubs and cards though.

Been that way since corpse ball days......terrible org philosophy.....

The Tigers got nothing today for their trades. What were the Sox going to get? Those trades locked down a top 3 pick for the Tigers not sure if moving Colome and Abreu make the Sox that much worse.

I'd take Vaughn's number with a grain of salt as he transitions from college to pro and now three levels of pro ball. Next year slot him in AA and leave him there until he comes to Chicago.

I agree with this 1000%

i just got in but it seemed gio was not feeling good in the 5th...bending over to stretch and looked like he tweeked an ankle.

I came to this thread to see the obvious overreaction for a guy as fired up as anyone who was over throwing his 100 MPH fastball. FFS relax people he is the real deal that will figure it out and make us want to watch more than on Gio day. He is the anti-Lopez. Get healthy Kopech get Vaughan Madrigal and Robert up here and lets sit back relax and strap it down!

Wasn't Mike Piazza a draft favor?

I think the most tiring thing for me about the White Sox is how fundamentally bad they are annually and how they cannot take a walk.

I forgot he played SS. Incredible asset.

Didn't Flowers lose a game in the 9th inning once because of bad defense or am I having a senior moment? He never seemed to block pitches very well either.

The thing about Zobrist was he was a key part of their team. Bote is kind of the same guy. $16M for him is an overpay that they had to do.
