"What does that mean to the Guardians, who take raw talent and guide him to the big leagues, through a plan that sees him navigate position changes (second base, shortstop and third,) to become a family man and hometown hero in Cleveland? It means they have one of those “good, solid young men” DiBiasio speaks of. A family man, A man of character. The kind of man who can lead the Guardians to greatness through perseverance, hard work and loyalty." “Your highest paid player better be your best person,” said DiBiasio. The Villager Newspaper OnlineCleveland Guardians Share Secrets to Success - The Villag...The Cleveland Guardians are one of Major League Baseball’s most successful franchises. Year after year they finish close to the top, making the playoffs and giving fans plenty of thrills. Competing inWhen's the last time this last sentence was close to being true for the Sox??? Grandal Benintendi Robert (didn't remember Charlie Montoyo's name or who he even was), TA, Jimenez, Moncada, Lynn, Keuchel... Kimbrel and Giolito were probably the closest to that description over the last decade. There weren't many. Burger, too. The White Sox are usually loyal to a fault, but for all the wrong reasons. Not lining up with the values listed here for being deserving of two way loyalty/trust. Whether it's Mune, Colson, Teel...pick your foundational piece to build around that will be a White Sox for life and give them that first $100-200 million deal. Maybe it's Cholowsky? Or even Braden or Bonemer. But you need to pick someone or the ship will continue to founder on the rocks. The face of the franchise. There hasn't really been once since TA and Abreu. They forced it on Andrew Vaughn and it simply didn't fit.

Ron you're still not going to get the answer you seek regardless of the flowery and ostentatious...almost border ing on obsequious, language. But nice try. Too much water under the bridge with him in the Sox organization.

Okinawa would be that technically...but why not?

"or claim we should all be embarrassed when a player on the Sox is recognized for doing well." Yes that's why I have more posts in the Murakami thread than AustinDreamin. Still...does it really matter if they have to trade him? I was even overly optimistic recently and bought a Murakami white home pin stripe jersey. What's the last Sox jersey you bought? I have Baines Sosa and now Murakami.

Sounds like an Iowa Hawkeye name...or Dawson's Creek actor.

Clowney?

Roki Sasaki and his 6.35 era in line for a victory over the Cubs if the beleaguered bullpen can actually hold on this time out.

OR OR OR We're not mlb gm's so we're not privy to the insiders' decision making processes and the mysterious information they have available to them....

Couldn't see Hays or Tauchman being injury prone. Couldn't understand why Mead Acuna ..... fill in the blank with fifty names ..... aren't producing. Can't find a single outfielder other than Pereira in 2 1/2 years Couldn't forsee all the arm injuries last year like Thorpe or Vasil this year How can the Guardians field a lower payroll on a consistent basis and yet have the #4 record in mlb over the last fifteen years? If only they had the Dodgers or Padres' owners? Well maybe they do...but it will require the rest of our lifetimes to find out. And the huge crowd today in bad weather shows there's still a dormant market for fun/exciting baseball in Chicago...beyond the Northside.

Deferred? big thing to do now is massive signing bonus and then pushing the majority of the contract somewhere into the Ishbian future

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kumamoto Hometown, at least where he went to high school far southernmost region of Japan 99% sure he's not married, probably maintain residence in Tokyo as well because of time with the Swallows

Hicks is the same basic problem. Right now, just Dominguez Taylor and maybe Newcomb are reliable.

Unless you know when JR will die precisely...it's impossible for anyone to predict. 2028 29 30 everyone is simply guessing. Getting out of the AL Central and losing in the first round isn't enough. 2020/21 proved that once again. Unless you set championship standards you won't last long in the post season. If Indiana football can do it....with just one high first round pick.

Maybe only the owners and GMs should be able to comment on message boards.... We should just be thankful to have baseball provided to us.

So why post? Are you going to put up the money for a Murakami extension?

peters?

41-60-66-72-78-84-90-96-102

make it 15 years... there was the excitement of 2019-2021, that was pretty much it

back to a 66-96 pace sounds about right don't have much faith in the starting pitching continuing to hold up like this ten walks is simply brutal

leasure would fit in back with the Dodgers White Sox disappoint about 75-80% of time in front of big home crowds luckily fell asleep and woke up to see Mune and Vargas and Colson come up short 701 am

bido will get showered with boos if he gives up a gs

have to make your opponent beat you especially playing at home

sigh ugly way to give up 2 runs late
