Chicago White Sox

Where is Ramos!?

Wow wow wow…I’m legit embarrassed to be a White Sox fan

You’re probably right, but I don’t recall him ever being this high on a Fangraphs prospect list. Not even sure I remember making the top 100, but if he did he was in the 80 to 100 range.

FWIW, Fangraphs has Ramos as the #44 prospect on The Board.

?

That’s not the issue…saying meaningless wins in a lost season are more important than the development of young players who could theoretically help in you know, a winning season, is a level of stupid I didn’t think was possible.

Here were Pedro’s key goals for the club this year: “We will communicate” - Can’t be good when guys aren’t pulling for each other and when our CF doesn’t even know the bench coach’s name “We will be fundamentally sound” - Still lots of stupid on a regular basis “We will play with passion and pride for this uniform. This means something.” - Majority of team has played with little passion and a complete lack of urgency as the season quickly withered away “We will respect the game, our fans, and earn their trust” - Perhaps the least fun Sox team I have ever watched (largely due to issues above) and fan interest is at an all-time low “We will control the strike zone on both sides of the ball…” - Currently ranked dead last in offensive walk rate and 2nd worst in pitching walk rate “We will work hard and play winning baseball every night and definitely will hold each other accountable.” - 4th worst record in all of baseball and we now have proof there are no rules or accountability What a fucking fraud. Send his ass back to KC where he belongs.

And how did thread not exist already??

Good fucking god fire this idiot!

Why did they even announce this?

Any idea on what the Dodgers paid in bonus for these two guys? I can’t find anything on the internet, so I’m guessing they were relatively cheap signings. While this is 100% better than nothing and the guys seem semi-interesting, it’s very frustrating that we’re sitting here in August with unused funds and the best plan available is trade them to another club. I still remain a Paddy fan and would love to see how different he would operate if not constrained by a Jerry Reinsdord led organization.

Our 1B is sporting a 106 wRC+ in his third professional season. Just a massive disappointment and not a guy I’d be hyping up if I were in the Sox marketing department. Should be Robert or bust with this crew.

That’s the stupidest s%*# I have ever heard in my life and Grifol should be fired on the spot for saying such crap. And Hahn should be fired on the spot for still having Grandal & Andrus on this roster. Zero reason the entire organization isn’t getting young guys with uncertain futures lots of playing time. What a fucking clown show these guys are.

Makes a lot of sense. I only ruled him out because I considered “earlier in the season” to mean June at the latest. And he was only with the Sox for like a week max. When he was traveling with the Sox? His minor league game log shows him with Charlotte almost all of April, May, & June.

@wsd - Do you know who the Clubhouse Napper is? I guarantee the name is out there somewhere.

Why would Hahn lie about that though? TBH, I thought it was more embarrassing that he confirmed there is a player who gets to nap in the clubhouse.

I just feel the “his energy is a 10…we need at an 8” means the dude is amped up at all times.

If only he were LH, he’d be the definition of a savage. Kid can fucking slug.

?…Rick Hahn has confirmed there is indeed a clubhouse napper, but didn’t mention by name who the specific player was. All we know about the suspect is the following: He is a positional player and their sleep issues are “fairly serious” Clubhouse napping was proposed by new “Sports Performance Program” Veterans were upset after witnessing this napping “earlier in the season” I think two things are abundantly clear based on the evidence above. First, the player is likely a younger guy given vets felt it needed to be addressed with management. Second, the player is also likely relatively new to our clubhouse or else this issue would be more well known. By filtering on younger players in their first or second season with our club and were on the roster during the first half of the season, we get the following suspects: Oscar Colas Lenyn Sosa Carlos Perez Jose Rodriguez Adam Haseley Now looking at the list above, it’s hard to imagine Jose Rodriguez was up long enough to have created this whirlwind. The same applies to Carlos Perez, who was only up for a handful of games in May. That leaves Colás, Sosa, & Hasely as the primary suspects. From what I can gather, Colás’ energy level seems to be very high and it’s unlikely he’s suffering through “fairly serious” sleep issues. Now we’re down to two guys. And of the two, I think Haseley is the likelier suspect. IMO, napping mid-game means you’re riding some serious pine and simply put Adam has spent more time on the bench this season when on the active roster than Sosa has. While it could theoretically be Lenyn, the math suggests Hasely is the dude napping mid-game in the clubhouse. I think the case is pretty much solved, but please share your theories in this thread. I love a good mystery and look forward to Soxtalk eventually solving this caper.

For the first time in forever, I actually feel like Rick Hahn won’t be our GM come October. Dude is clearly just our press secretary at the moment and they are simply giving him a soft landing by not firing him now. Rick is so fucking done.

He said this is not the time for player development??

Real question, but do you think that Rick Hahn realizes he sucks a fat you know what?

Clearly porn is the issue. Ban that s%*# and suddenly everyone will be laser focused on the day at hand and pulling for one another.

If he can’t be an average 1B offensively, he might as well be team caption and clubhouse enforcer!
