And/or keeping them healthy... Lots of similarities to Baltimore under Elias.

Think of the different ownership groups...from late 60s to JR. It's the same way they ended up with those Bulls' City Connect jerseys.

Ohtani finally tied Murakami with 20 homers each... Roughly the same ops numbers as well.

Imagine if Martin and Burke hadn't made forward strides this season...

White Sox curse from 2000-2016...major league wins always at the expense of the minors, either via trades or scattershot development. This was supposed to be another year for Schultz and Hagen to finally get their feet wet without any pressure at the big league level to win...like the late 80s Braves. Now you're down to Sandlin and maybe Shane Smith unless you trade for a veteran back end guy to hold down the fort. Hopefully Clevinger is officially retired.

MIN up 2-1 over CLE bot 3 Twin Cities

Would rather have Wesley Snipes up there bunting.

Pluribus From Widow's Bay Paradise The Agency S2 Try those out...

Over JR's half dead body.

Just doesn't have the crispness/snap on his pitches...or the dramatic speed differentials from fb to curve and back like Taylor gets. Not hiding the ball well either with that delivery.

Shane Smith also has lost a lot of velocity since the first half of last season.

Going to have to make a trade...even if it's just a 4/5 veteran on an exploring contract.

Rauch/Schultz Well, at least Noah is a lot better person

However they define bat control…don’t want to be grouped with Druw Jones offensively in any category.

Bit less than 100 ev

He was very important last year as the do everything in the pen swing man and spot starter.

White Sox 4-3 against Minnesota Twins 2-1 over CLE Buxton will likely be out for the upcoming four game series 101 Monday, Jul 20 preview MIN @ CLE 6:40 pm Game Preview, and Matchups 102 Tuesday, Jul 21 preview MIN @ CLE 6:40 pm Game Preview, and Matchups 103 Wednesday, Jul 22 preview MIN @ CLE 6:40 pm Game Preview, and Matchups 104 Thursday, Jul 23 preview MIN @ CLE 1:10

The current struggles with prep Carlson might factor in as a consideration as well. Certainly a reason to shy away from Lombard.

Shane Smith, even as a reliever throwing 97-100, has to have more trade value than Adams due to his overall mlb success/experience last year. McDougal would also be more highly valued outside the organization.

Scary relying on Schultz at his point. Just need the Sox version of Martin Perez or Houser. Someone more reliable/predictable that will protect that Bullpen from being overexposed/over worked down the stretch. Especially Newcomb Hudson and Taylor.

Neither possessed his raw catching tools on the defensive side...

Just worried the pro version is somewhere between Dansby Swanson and Brandon Crawford. Occasional All Star, but not a true franchise foundation piece.

More like a John Olerud or Mark Grace...Jacob Gonzalez might actually be closer to 12-15.
