Atta boy caulfield! You are starting to believe!

How does every thread turn into the same tired Chris Getz fight? We’re on the verge of signing the Japanese Babe Ruth and half the board can’t stop bickering with each other over a bunch of non-sense. Let’s get fucking amped and stop with all the damn in-fighting.

This thread is fucking hot! We are less than 48 hours out now! Keep them rumors coming!

The biggest issue with the previous rebuild was a lack of future wave of prospects to support the original core, partially driven by safe / need-based drafting. We should be talking the best, high talent ceiling regardless of position in the draft moving forward and in rounds 2 & 3 of next year’s draft that will likely be prep players with the amount of pool dollars we should have.

100% this is the way

Hey @ChiliIrishHammock24, please see the tweet above or is that also too much reading for you. Either way, if we land him we all agree you get first dibs on his nickname.

The hate is strong in this one

I think real question is what percentage of our 40 man roster is made up of former Rays.

At the moment, I would expect Cholowsky at the 1.01 and then us trying to push a couple of prep players down to our second & third selections. One those kids may be a CF type, but you can’t really draft for need early in the draft. Getz will likely have to address CF in the near term in a different fashion.

I was looking at the bat speed of the players projected to be on this roster and we have very few guys who above average. Colson & Robert are both elite, but the latter will likely be gone before the end of next season. After that, we’re just left with Mead & Sosa, who are both just slightly above average. Everyone else on the roster is about average to well below. Point is this team is going to need some power. Roch, Braden, & Bonemer will all help eventually, but we really need a thumber in the near-term that can slot into 1B or DH. Murakami can be a mini Schwarber. People keep acting like his K rate and zone contact rate are death sentences, but they are both better than Ohtani’s were in Japan. In a suppressed market, this is a swing you take if you’re the White Sox and I honestly think they will when it’s all said and done.

IMO, this NW Indiana play is nothing but an obvious bluff. The Bears can make all the threats they want, but they want to be in AH first and downtown second. Their vision of what a new domed stadium can bring to the table is all but wiped out in NW Indiana. Pritzker has all the leverage with them and people should be glad he is not caving.

Even James agrees it’s happening now!

You called him a clown…that’s political brother. I was just curious what makes him a clown related to this matter. Seems like not wanting to subside a multi billion stadium project for rich NFL owners would make him the opposite of a clown.

Finally time for a standalone Murakami thread. Looks like Santa is coming early this year boys!

Why is Pritzker a clown?

?

Oh we so fucking back!
