“Some of these guys are dealing with recurring injuries,” Getz said. “When you have an injury, you are at a higher risk of having a similar injury in the future. And that’s tough for players to accept and understand and organizations as well. It’s our job to prevent something like that from happening. Overall, it’s my job to build an organization that is resilient to injuries. “Every team deals with them, and obviously we were hit with them here recently. But moving forward into the future, you’ve got to build out an organization to be able to take on some of these injuries and build out depth. We’ve certainly begun to do that just so when you are hit with them, you can continue to fight and compete and be as good as you can be.” Losing one of these players would be tough for even the strongest of teams. All three being gone for a lengthy period of time makes life even tougher for an offense limited to one or zero home runs 11 times in 13 games, shut out an MLB-leading four times and sitting at 13-for-86 with runners in scoring position through Friday. …. “He did a really good job this past series in Cleveland,” manager Pedro Grifol said. “He intensified it a little bit, he got up to about 75 percent. We want to get him between 85 and 90 percent and then assess it again and see what we want to do. But he’s getting really close. “Obviously, it’s positive news and we’ll take that,” Getz said. “Those guys are impactful players for our Major League club. It’s better when they are out there than when they are not.” Ugh…Getz is as bad as Grifol. Merkin/mlb.com

But that’s just it. They have kept counting on those three for going on 5-6 years now. Look at the results. They can’t give up on Robert…but they’re only going to get 60-75% of what he once would have been worth. Which simply leads to a permanently rebuilding process like the Pirates or Royals that lasted for decades.

https://fansided.com/2018/04/03/yasmany-tomas-bust-contract-new-team/ Maybe we can bring back your namesake for some excitement. Bauer and Puig could hardly make things any worse. Right now, we're so anonymous the Sox can't even be the Raiders or Washington Commanders/Redskins of ineptitude. Not even sure what dignity is remaining...just past history and a recognizable brand/image.

Hahn and Getz are collectively degrading the value of Michigan degrees and ensuring another Wolverine won't get a GM spot outside of the Southside (if it still exists) in the future.

It's not going to help the pitchers when they go out on the bump thinking they will only get 0-1-2 runs per game...that's going to become very discoraging, regardless of the actual defense played behind them.

This is the answer to the question posted last season...after Luis Robert and Jake Burger, who would Sox fans actually pay to watch hit? Answer: still undetermined Montgomery the likeliest bet, though.

A lot of fans said they wanted nothing to do with Michael Busch...but he would be the offensive MVP of the White Sox. Or Christopher Morel, for that matter.

Over "Say it ain't so, Joe,"???

Royals at 10-5 are going to be 1/2 game up on CLE and 1 game on the Tigers heading into action on Sunday... See, they were the right team to emulate!!!

Vaughn only has two more arb years on his contract. Pretty amazing.

Not even Shaw wants to have anything to do with this organization anymore…

It won’t last that long. Jirschele or Leyland’s son will get the job…no lose situation coming in, can only overachieve at this point.

Ball boy down LF line has the best play of the day so far…

More like Brendan Fraser in The Whale…

Would be nice to have Salvy Perez’s numbers in the lineup but they are helping to make the Royals competitive THIS year.

Crowded leaderboard at Augusta but Woods is done...23 holes in one day too much for him physically at this point. Great play in RCF from Fairchild.

Pull him. Mechanics are falling apart. Every pitch ending up way high. That should be his last inning. Will get through it...seemingly.

Robbed home run early against him was harbinger of impending doom. Reds still have the no hitter alive but will take 4-5 guys combined.

But not a huge velo difference between slider and cutter/sweeper. Love all this talk about Fletcher's defense but he still has to be up in the mid 700s as a hitter. Maybe you can get away with less bat in center but overall profile still more of a 4th or 5th outfielder.

It happens to everyone occasionally. If he lunged too far at the last second...good way to get hurt. That hockey jersey will attract some fans. Visibly large gap from the I to the second C in Chicago jersey script...was that intentional?

Especially when his velo was down 2-3 mph and getting behind in counts. 1. CwS -44 rs/ra 3. Rockies -27 He's out.

"Yeah, Colson is deserving to be at Charlotte after what he did in Double-A and in the Arizona Fall League. He’s shown that that is the right decision so far,” Getz said. “Colson’s doing really well. “Defensively he’s making some really good plays. That's been a high priority for the organization. His at-bats have been pretty solid. He’s showing up every day and really becoming the overall professional we had hoped, and really looking forward to watching his progress unfold there in Charlotte." milb.com

Another terrible relay throw. Going to have to pull Garrett. Up to 4.12 ERA.

Undubitably or indubitably? Way too many pitches...going to be a long bullpen game. Jinxed it.
