It was Fegan's opinion.

When was the deadline? The 25th or 26th?

14 runs in two games against the Astros… but sure…

Send Eloy down bring back Burger!

He's due for the IL then if the Padres trade for him...

Gallo is GG Right Fielder. Thats where you play him.

Or the Pirates liked the Padres’ prospects more…

Until the White Sox go 162-0 and every game is a no hitter, I will not be happy!

Rooting for the Spiders... Leave it to Cleveland to even drop the symbolic ball when it mattered.

In what way?

Frazier could play RF next season however...

Maybe we don't replace 2b and go 4 in the outfield and put Engel and Robert in CF to cover Eloy and Vaughn. ?

If you continue to be reasonable and level-headed, I don't think we can remain friends...

Are you saying Jesus Christ can't hit a curveball?

It’s amazing how fast this board turns on someone… Never change Soxtalk…?

I would blame COVID...but thats just me. Also, they are peeved that the Disney+ service gives Disney all the money and it is not shared with them like the Theatre box office.

Agreed. I think Engel has proven himself to be an incredible fielder and now he is hitting well to be almost everyday in RF after Luis returns. Unless they really feel someone like Gallo puts them over the top being LH, Power and a GG I see us standing pat in the outfield.

2nd Baseman, 2 Relievers.... . . . Then RF.

I think losing Eloy and Luis have contributed big to that. Jose didn't have major protection all year and pressed a lot and swung at bad pitches he normally took. Things will even themselves out.

Ok. It’s a team effort. A manager deserves a share of credit for losses and wins. Wait… that’s what I’ve been saying the whole time.

There better be a Coors in that coffee cup!

But to answer your question...he interviewed with LaRussa. Hahn may have brought him in and recommended him, but LaRussa, like all MLB managers, hire and control their staff. You are correct about Menechino already being on staff, but LaRussa decided to retain him. It can be a team effort with LaRussa getting some credit.

Keep calling my posts BS and see how long you last here. We have some rules here and being insulting to fellow members is not one of them. Learn some manners.

I don't like LaRussa. But if you truly believe the Manager of a MLB ballclub had nothing to do with the hiring of his staff...well. It sounds more of personal bias to me. I am of the belief, based on logic, that if you blame him for losses you have to give him some credit for wins. Whether you like it or not.

That's a pleasant way of talking to someone on Soxtalk. Tell me how that turns out for you.
