Chicago White Sox

Oh I know the difference. All the time zone nerds like yourself whining about this non stop have made me spend the 8 seconds of google needed to know the difference.

I don’t disagree with the rest of your assessment by the way. But the reason Emerson is in the mix for the 1.01 is because of his hit tool.

Because we keep winning

Now Emerson doesn’t have a high end hit tool?

Let’s fucking go!!!

You’re correct that some of them won’t require a spot until the offseason, but there are other guys who may need a spot at some in Hagen Smith, Adams, Iriarte, & Pallette that were ahead of Peoples. There is still good reason not to add more pain to the problem.

AI article?

The problem isn’t the immediate opening of a roster spot…it’s what happens when the seven or eight guys on the 60 day IL come back.

I fully expect Bonemer to be our LF within two years. And I don’t think Chase will hold onto to 2B long-term…just not sure yet who will displace him. And for now, I think Peters may hold onto CF. I think our money goes toward extending Mune and adding pitching. If Peters falls off a cliff, I think you end up trading for a CF down the road, but with his defense I think he’s going to get an extended run here.

Not sure you can call Benintendi as “albatross” at this point. He’s not worth his contract, but he’s found a role he can be productive in and only has a year left on his contract. If a better option comes along, we can get the bulk of his contract and likely move him (pending Jerry not being a cheap f*** like usual).

I have started coming to terms that Hagen might end up being a reliever. It sucks because of how many hitters available in that draft, but that’s in the past and now it’s all about maximizing how he can contribute. If his stuff is going to regress with a starter’s workload, there is still plenty of value to be had in the bullpen. The same applies for McDougal, but I’m more confident he can remain a SP. But perhaps for this season, you leverage him as a reliever and then work him back as a starter next season.

Maybe…I actually like what I have seen from Sam in LF for a guy that hasn’t played the position before. Regardless, even if he moves back to 2B, Chase can still be an incredibly valuable 10th man. He’s the exact type of role player who teams like the Dodgers keep around and play everyday in event of injury. And all of that is ignoring how important he is in the clubhouse.

I agree. I also think Hagen’s floor is an elite bullpen weapon, so don’t want to deal him and a bunch of other stuff for an already elite reliever.

Stop trying to trade Meidroth!

With an upcoming 40 man roster crunch, You’d give up Bonemer for him?
