Too much water under the bridge. They would rather throw Urena, Patino, Touki and Scholtens out there on under $1 million contracts than spend $8-10 million plus on Lucas.

Or a quick playoff sweep like Marlins over Cubs in 2020...

Shades of Brant Brown with Suzuki misplay. Or Grady Sizemore late 2005 against the Royals that Sunday before the final week of the season that crushed the Indians/Guardians.

Marlins 1/2 game back behind the Cubs with six games left to play....going to have to play a DH one of these next two days, and Marlins have already lost Alcantara for the season already. Battle of the 80's Superstation Teams continues. ATL already at 101 wins.

Go Braves Go! 8th and 9th OPS guys in that lineup would be leaders in Chicago, lol. Kevin Pillar does sound like such a Sox name for 2024. Definitely need a back-up who can play all three OF positions decently.

Do they have the worst bullpen ERA in MLB yet again...at least since the trade deadline?

Seems like Anderson would have 25-30 errors but it's only 15. Definitely much lower error counts around MLB the last half-decade compared to past days. CJ Abrams was leading MLB the last time I checked...and it wasn't anywhere close to the 30-45ish errors that SS's used to put up. Although the White Sox still manage to be a Bottom 5-7 defense nearly every single season...even in this new non-shifting era of the sport.

mid or medium=MD? or misdiagnosed, lol

Carroll was a lot more fundamentally solid. Similarly dynamic athletic skills and five tool guys (although it's closer to 4 1/2 with Robert's arm far from accurate and simply the decision-making process of choosing which base to throw to)... Btw, jury is still out on Alek Thomas (who everyone assumed was White Sox bound due to his father working for the team at that time). It's more than Carroll, though. For instance, the scouting on Zac Gallen prior to the trade with the Marlins. Or the development of Ketel Marte into one of the most complete all-around players nobody has heard of outside the West Coast. Of course, the DBacks are a much much younger team than the 2021-2023 White Sox as well.

AAAA filler/cannon fodder.

Yet another reason Kim Ng wasn't exactly a slam dunk White Sox GM candidate...simply due to her past Sox origins/connections.

And he's still being listed as a Top 7-8 FA rotation target. 4.77 ERA as of right now.

The only major asset is Witt Jr. and maybe Ragans now.

0-12 in Extras 7-23 in 1 run games +90 in RS/RA but 77-80 40-51 against teams over .500

The opposite would definitely be the 49ers...going with Mr. Irrelevant and demoting, then dumping Lance on the Cowboys.

Padres still barely alive, lol... 1-11 in extra innings is pretty damned hard to do...even with the Sox current bullpen.

Kane County Cougars worked well back in the day...but much smaller scale, MW League or Low A ball.

Couldn't do much worse picking FA's. (Of course leadership and talent development are much more difficult to quantify.) Or the stock market, for that matter.

Colorado vs. Oregon or Iowa at Penn State 312 to 85 total yards so far

Rodon and Carson Fulmer posting losses against the D backs and Royals seems fitting.

And for the fact almost nobody cares any more and those are the two worst teams in the East. 2021 Field of Dreams game seems about a half-decade ago now.

Winning the battle of the trenches has been the key for like forever...of course, it also helps if you have the Dolphins or Chiefs systems/schemes and skill players in place.

Dayton Moore's Chris Getzie=Getsy Too close for coincidence.

What was once a solid 7-2 Rangers lead now a quite precarious 9-8 lead over Seattle late.... Kelenic's 763 ops and 255 average would fit in perfectly with the White Sox.
