You're either with the terrorists/Russians/Taliban or you're with TLR...apparently. I mean, middle schoolers with Strat O Matic cards can do better roster construction and still look to get better instead of creating on their laurels.

When you lose 2 of your Top 4-5 hitters and somehow replace them both...with one a Top 5 player in all of MLB, things are going your way in a sequence of events that's unrepeatable, like Sox starters and bullpen in 2005.

Almost got out of it...recorded first two outs with bases loaded and then touched up by Alfaro for a bases clearing double. Jimenez and Alfaro clearly the hottest hitters for both organizations...along with TA7.

They will go with Kim and Cronenworth unless Kim continues to hit .175 while playing GG defense at SS...

Ummm....Grisham, Myers and Abrams could easily be the starters. Profar as supersub. Trayce Thompson has been starting recently. Roster filler. Same with Mazara. Jorge Alfaro continues monster spring fighting with Caratini for #2 job. Out of options like Adolfo. Will likely carry 3 guys the first month.

Going after Hahn is pointless since it’s patently obvious Reinsdorf and LaRussa really run this team and Hahn is essentially the preferred PR spokesperson in this awkward situation. Of course, other than rooting for ownership change before this current window closes…

Deep down, the front office has to be well aware of this fact, just like any casual fans who tuned in for the postseason only to wonder what was going on in RF...that's even more insulting. It's not like LaRussa's unique team-building approach worked wonders in AZ. He and Stewart drove that organization practically into the ground.

You can make this comment without managing to insult your own fans with something that was painfully obvious since Vaughn and Sheets tried to play RF last year...and Leury as well. That's called wanting to improve your team/defense and safeguard their health. How is that not the logical position for any fan to take, regardless of team payroll?

Just don't have any clue how to execute "put your team over the top" finishing moves to build a true championship contender. Risk-averse. Unless it has something to do with relief pitchers or veteran utility guys.

This inherent stubbornness and/or lack of willingness to learn from close calls is going to be the death of this organization. Next time it will be one of these lumbering OFers crashing into Robert, unfortunately. They just seem to want to tempt fate.

It’s three games.

What happened to Anderson? Adolfo on OD, regardless of handedness? Mendick even on the roster? Wouldn’t they take Romy?

“Don’t you ever f——g talk about my RFer and 2B! I don’t want to hear those words coming out of your mouth. And GI Jane was a seriously underrated film.”

If Vaughn is out for months and months and we have to watch 550-575 Leury at-bats....

Think I would place CF to the right of 2B…and catcher’s a whole difference monster. Craig Biggio is one of the few that went from catcher to infield, Brandon Inge also comes to mind. Can hardly remember anyone going from infield to catcher. Plenty of SS’s to pitcher, usually relief pitcher.

Routine catch for Billy Hamilton or Engel (100% healthy version), maybe...

Roughly 1/4th to 1/3rd sounds about right...

Guess you need to go after Kelenic's CF defense...

If he is injured for a lengthy period of time, the White Sox must now be setting a purely subjective baseball record for worst handling of a consensus Top 5 pick, at least in recent history. Any worse examples come to mind?

The strange thing is that he can throw around 85 mph from out there...according to Statcast. But then there's the issue of accuracy, hitting the cut off man, more instinctual plays. Just looked much more confident in LF.

Sox front office apparently has more leaks than the RNC during the Watergate Era.

And DH post 2008/10.

Gee. Amazing stuff. If we can actually do that, why not also improve highways, bridges, airports, subways and broad and connectivity/5G networks?

He has been waiting to make a meaningful contribution since that 2008 coin flip call. Is he already at Northwestern?
