They’re going to lose 100 next year too barring some unbelievable spending spree this offseason

I haven't seen any little league ban it, at least not the one im in. Its deadly in little league, these kids have no idea what to do and either swing and miss badly or knee buckle because they think its coming at them lol.

No way, take your wildcard now. Tauchman is having a nice season we all agree, and he's still probably a sub 2 WAR player when its all said and done. A 35 year old Tauchman at ~$4Mish who turns into Josh Rojas will get you nothing at all. And if he's the same player, do you see anyway he has more value than he does right now? I don't. Get him out of here and give Julks, Fletcher, etc. those AB's rest of the way.

I think Robert, Houser, and Tauchman are slam dunks to be moved. Slater is back to performing against lefties so I think you're right that he may get some interest. There are numerous relievers that could be moved, but not sure we get much of anything in return for them. I would expect Civale has more value eating innings the rest of the year than he does on a return, so I would expect to see him stay.

He's been worth -1.2 bWAR and has a .483 OPS. He signed a 1 year $3.5M contract so he's probably still owed somewhere around $1.3M or so? I would be absolutely stunned if anyone had any interest in trading for him.

The very first post in this thread had trade expectations for Josh Rojas, who has been somewhere around the 8th worst player in ALL of baseball. If you throw chum in the water, expect sharks.

Fun fact Andrew Vaughn has more bWAR in 16 PA (0.5) for the Brewers than he did in his entire White Sox career (-0.5)

Vargas has now put up a .192 / .283 / .624 line across 971 MLB plate appearances over 4 years, its completely justified to have given up on him at this point. That doesn't mean he can't improve or get better, but this is a large enough sample size to say im out without criticism. Were going to need way more than sub .700 OPS numbers from Montgomery, Teel, Quero, and Meidroth. They have 3 homeruns combined in 542 AB's. They all still have plenty of room and time to grow but were cooked if they are all just 1-2 WAR players with no power.

You just have to hope the kids develop. They’ve all been largely disappointing so far, no power what so ever, and it’s alarming.

Would have rather gone Arnold there

MLB draft is so dumb.

Just get impact talent, I don’t care at all if they hit or throw this team just needs talent everywhere.

Sox gotta go 18-48 the rest of the way to win the over crowd money. Going to be a real nail biter when they strip this team in the next two weeks and start shutting down pitchers.

I think he was referring to Teel specifically

Holy crap that's wild, you would extend this guy $20M a year based off 9 starts.
