It is compared to the rest of their lineup. 20th out of 37...16th out of 22 qualified. Basically close to average. Certainly better than expected by most. Luis Robert is the only other player along with Korey Lee close to that average or above status in the entire lineup. Are the Sox realistically going to sign Kim, G.Torres, Adames etc. in FA? Me thinks not likely.

9-5 now.. separating again Barons up early 2-1. Bush ERA a miniscule 1.87.

Is that like a Martian?

Without Robert Fedde and Crochet, Sox are one of the five worst teams in baseball history. Sox will also have to shut down Crochet late if not traded....or go to strictly 3-4 IP and 50-70 total pitch counts.

They have venture capital on their side now. Maybe a couple of Basallo Mayo Kjerstad or Cowser, Beavers....but no way it will be 4-5 of those. And they still have Holliday. Henderson Rutschman, etc. That's a super strong foundation.

https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5419703/2024/04/17/mlb-free-agents-2024-2025-offseason/ Someone like Santander Tyler O'Neill Conforto Verdugo...that will be the limits of their price range. HaSeong Kim would have been perfect to add three or four years ago but now it's too late. Sasaki if posted from Japan will get somewhere in the $375-450 million range.

MIssissipppi out in front of Cubs' AA affiliate TN 4-0 in first. Loss there and Birm clinches first half division title. Game in late afternoon becomes meaningless.

That's the last time I have any player (Riley Greene) on the fantasy bench against the White Sox. Lesson learned.

Youth. For those who got cocky about Thorpe, there's always the next day. Look at the numbers Glavine Smoltz and Avery put up in their first couple of seasons for the Braves.

Montgomery might not make it to an 800 this season, too... Guess he will have to wait until early May, 2025.

Will take that bet with Thorpe and this defense playing at Guaranteed Fail Rate in the summer months...compared to the spacious SD dimensions, especially at night when there's a marine layer coming in off the water.

At least he's accumulating Frequent Flier miles...unless the White Sox strip those away, too. (Hence the modern day slavery comment, lol.) It's closer and closer to feeling they are deliberately screwing with him to "teach a lesson" whatever that even means. It's not like the Cuban Pipeline even exists anymore at this point.

#2 at what? Certainly not in terms of contract value in MLB...TLR was supposed at around $4 million, Grifol would be incredibly fortunate to even be anywhere close to $1 million, and that seems like highway robbery unless compared to Leury Garcia or Benintendi or Moncada.

But isn't it the same problem as Crochet, essentially, we're not going to be contending until AT LEAST 2027...so Vaughn will hit FA before that happens anyway? I guess the only difference is arbitration salaries for Crochet and Vaughn would be vastly different.

Tainted by Abreu Maldy Lee and Julks memories.

JR should pull a Ted Turner and become owner/manager for at least game...so he can really understand the situation first hand.

Luzardo now on the IL. Likely one more piece off the chess board.

Uh oh. Current fWAR MLB 2. Crochet 4. Sale 11/12. Flaherty/Corbin Burnes 15. Fedde 17. Cease 19. Reynaldo Lopez

Wilson Brebbia Banks three more possibilities. Maldonado should be DFAed. Clevinger or Flexen, maybes.

Need to play for FA deals in the offseason. Or they’re heading forAnderson/Rodon $3 million last chance saloon contracts.

JR even managed to screw himself staying out of the WNBA business...ironically, partially to protect the legacy of Jordan. “I saw the ticket prices (in Chicago). I guess the only thing is I’m surprised we’re not playing at the United Center (like the Big 10 tourney). I thought that would have been really good for the game and really good for all the women’s basketball fans in Chicago. Maybe there’s a conflict of some sort that I don’t know about. Obviously, that’s a little above my pay grade, but we’re excited." Caitlin Clark

Expected to go 25-35 now. Should have been 15 to low 20s. Cost himself a lot of money. Probably ends up on a playoff team though.

Cut Colas to protect DeLoach Ortega Fletcher. Next thing you know...Pillar gets more back in trade for Angels than those three and Colas combined for Gets Hosed.
