Or Barfield and the assistant he brought along with him...

That doesn't mean they won't out of some stubborn irrational desire to make an example out of him for the rest of the organization.

This whole thing of fighting what are supposed to be all Sox fans and the "tone" of posting is getting tire some. It's reminiscent of WSI when everyone was mandated to post in a certain way of face being declared ersona non grata. Well...that's exactly how THAT board ended up condemning itself to the scrap heap of history, when the team's performance could no longer realistically sustain or justify such fan boy group think adoration of team/front office/coaches/minor league system/prospects, etc. At least SoxTalk retain a sense of relative objectivity. The moderators are certainly not trying to stem the current tide of discontent. Not even Southsider2k5 has the energy to continue blaming Sox fans for not supporting this ownership group for its string of poor attendance numbers for so many losing teams since 2012.

Wolkow remained in Arizona after the performance camp to get ready for Minor League Spring Training. He has learned about life away from home at the old age now of 18, and of course the game itself, with the young power hitter targeting a return to Kannapolis as his next career step. “My goal is get there as soon as possible,” Wolkow said. “If I could go [April 6th], I’ll be ready to go. Obviously, I have to trust in the decisions the White Sox organization is going to make. Go out and handle the everyday process and be the best version of me and good things will happen.

It's now going to take 1 1/2 to 2 healthy/productive seasons just to rebuild his value to what it was just 2 weeks ago. And that asking price is nothing like it was nearly a generation ago for the likes of Sale Eaton and Quintana. Top 25-30 prospects just don't get traded anymore. The best you can get are formerly injured prospects or flawed guys like Cole Ragans or Burger types that are under estimated or undervalued by their original organizations.

It will be Montoyo...Jirschele or Leyland's son.

F-$@ you...you act like we are supposed to worship Sox minor leaguers unconditionally. They haven't come close to earning that privilege. Last year, didn't we also have the worst combined minor league winning percentage in baseball??? Well, Charlotte has the same exact record as the major league team right now. Getz is a joke. So are the White Sox, to the rest of MLB. We're just a complete and total punch line right now...the new feeder team for the rest of MLB. It might be even more embarrassing than the A's situation if Crochet also gets injured again this year out of a desire to impress the fans like they tried to pull with Liam Hendriks last year. We're not even as competitive as those old Washington Generals teams that lost to the Globetrotters every night. Please stop your obsession.

Colas...

Stockholm Syndrome.

More like a TERRA COTTA warrior...is Eloy. Body just falls apart/disintegrates after contact with virtually anything.

Okay, THAT'S what JR was complaining about then, never going over 3 million then...he didn't mention the part about decreased stadium capacity.

That goes along quite well with the downward pointing Guaranteed Rate logo...

One can always fantasize that...the pitchfork wielding villagers in Beauty and the Beast were actually intending to storm the administrative offices at 35th and Shields and got lost. Too bad they couldn't take out Brooks Boyer, too.

We would have picked the equivalent of Tyler Kolek/Brady Aiken anyways. (Well, if you ignore what the Astros did with their next draft, leave that aspect out.)

Great timing. Covid losses when the Sox finally have a fun team. TLR. Yerminator Terminated. Dissolution of the Cuban Connection. Injuries/MASH unit. Draft lottery. It's almost like an Oliver Stone-esque conspiracy to keep the rest of the AL Central somehow simultaneously more competitive than the pathetic White Sox.

His health issues are starting to remind me of Bo Jackson. Couldn't imagine such an imposing dude, really an athletic marvel, being so frail/vulnerable in the prime of his career.

Well, we can now add Burger/Anderson/Avi Garcia's unduly influencing the Marlins' poor record too, lol... Would be almost impossible to imagine after that walk-off night in Iowa cornfields, August 12th or whatever it was of 2021.

Getz and JR, in their desire to avoid losing a history-threatening number of games...have managed to create a not exactly inexpensive roster that will do QUITE THE OPPOSITE. A continuing stream of embarrassment for the franchise the next 2-3 seasons. Which will probably kill any hopes of getting a new stadium for a new ownership group. Unless that group forces the issue with a willingness to invest private money into a stadium project...and it becomes clear the Reinsdorf family will never get that done because of all the ill-will.

Most Campfire Shakes sold... Most roster moves/transactions. Lowest OPS/OBP, pretty much any offensive statistics on record. Most bullpen innings (after Crochet comes to an inevitable end at some point). Most K's/least walks. Fewest homers in new stadium.

What are the odds that he falls on his own sword first? Grifol will never get another managing job (and the accompanying salary) for the rest of his life. Just like Getz/Hahn/KW ever repeating as MLB general managers...

More specifically, for not even drawing 2+ million fans or whatever it was...maybe in 2006. Of course, chopping off half the upper deck didn't help, that was a loss of what, 3500-4000 seats?

Saw a recommendation for TOKYO VICE here as well...really enjoyed it over the weekend, finished Season 1, through 6 of 10 in Season 2 already. Good stuff. Also highly recommend The Boy and the Heron if you enjoy Japanese animation. Academy Award nominee/winner by Hayao Miyazaki.
