another albatross contract you can add to the pyre

guys they're toast, stop lol

lol how is Zavala on any big league club

it's possible that the weight gain came after his long layoff, dude needs to take care of himself in the off season

lmfao

lol it's 1 year, those stats are exactly the things you use to trade a guy with limited skills to get the best return he's a 1B/DH in his 2nd year, you're acting like he's Mike Trout

they're gonna have to trade some guys to fill holes. whether it's Gio, Tim (unlikely), Sheets, Vaughn (likely, best return, easiest guy to replace at his natural position), whoever it is there are gonna be some upset folks here I'm at the point where I don't care who they trade as long as it's a whole new front office doing it

stop looking at era

they've collectively cashed it in already, you aren't going to see anything else for the rest of the schedule

thats a start but that gets you maybe 5 more wins. you need a total tear down of management and coaching and also the PTs. bring in guys who don't have any ties to the org also would be a nice changeup. imo signing AJ Hinch was just a perfect guy to hire, TLR was the absolute worst. I remember some of the people here saying they preferred TLR, lol...

that O-Swing% (29th overall) just screams a team of guys who had their own offensive style (the reason they were drafted/signed) and are being told to completely change their approach to fit some sort of arbitrary philosophy taught by Menechino. so of course they're struggling mightily while they try to adapt to a totally different kind of hitting that's my armchair breakdown wonder if the last few years Menechino laid off the hard instructions and just let the guys do their own thing?

The Sox are playing at half strength because they're inept at keeping their staff focused and healthy for a full season. What, did you think it was just a coincidence that all of the sudden a large portion of our starting lineup started getting hurt multiple times over the course of this (not even concluded) season? The trainers aren't respected by the players, so they're just half-assing their between game preparation. This isnt a serious baseball team, but guys like Hahn and TLR have convinced people like you that they are.

I think everyone on this board knows that the deep rooted problems start with Ownership and Management. Talented players are great but if you can't keep them steered in the right direction, then you're just another average MLB team. all 30 teams have talent, it's the ones who do the little things right, year in and year out who are worth a damn LAD, HOU, TB (One tier below that would be STL, CLE, and perhaps the current NYY) Ignore the payrolls and try to emulate those clubs, and you'll find success. I feel like the Sox don't even know what the hell they're doing 90% of the time tbh

fractured hand iirc?

the same Buffett that pays only 0.4% of his earnings in taxes? dude is just as much of a greedy psychopath as the rest of them. there are a small few billionaires that actually pay their fair share (25-30% and up) but they're a very very very small percentage

The Grand Prize Game

show me one billionaire that doesn't think they're 100% right, all the damn time. they all surround themselves with high paid sycophants who's sole purpose is to tell them how smart they are. Reinsdorf is no different.

it's just sad now man, please stop

I feel like there's definitely something going on in the clubhouse and I wish someone who knew exactly what it was could just make a new anonymous account on here and spill the beans ? assuming it's something other than TLR

come on dude

man, Moncada is DFA tier now

don't forget Aaron Poreda and Gordon Beckham

Spanish speaking with something to prove, former catcher or someone who seemed to understand hitting and working an AB to their favor Sox need a guy who can bring an offense based philosophy, that can be taught up and down the org, preferably someone who doesn't have deep ties to the White Sox. I've seen enough White Sox running the White Sox Maddon I suppose would be fine presuming we allow him full reign over managerial/coaching hires If Hahn/KW/JR is just gonna be the marionette working from the shadows, then it won't matter who the damn coaches are

orioles have a better record and play in a tougher division lolol they're absolutely better than this Sox team

Harrison reminds me of Leury, and Moncada. Guys who are always taking a hack at the wrong fucking pitch in an at bat because their pitch recognition is bottom of the league tier. How can these guys be so bad at knowing how to work a count in their favor. Do they even look at video of the guy they're facing? It's really remarkable
