Chicago White Sox

Grandal was exactly what we thought he was his first two years…obviously this year has been a different story

I’m probably Grandal’s biggest fan, but if his lower body can’t generate any power he should probably be DLed until next year

How fucking slow is Herb Lawrence

“Garcia is on deck”…scarier words have never been spoken

An old fashioned Grandal slap single to RF would work here

Surprisingly we do

Fuck

Quickly 0-2

Nice rip!

If you went to Michigan or Harvard, you are a made man in this organization

100% that same dude…what a fucking loser

I’m talking about trading Vaughn for a similar LH hitter who can handle RF. I’m guessing there is no match there, but if there is a three way trade that sends Vaughn to the Brewers, prospects to the Pirates, and Reynolds to us you have to consider it. Trust me, I have zero desire to trade Vaughn just to move him.

Of course he’s in a slump, but we still have a glut of 1B/DH types and he’s the only one who can return legit value. Him playing RF is killing all the offensive value he normally provides.

At some point next year hopefully, but I’m good with both Reynolds & Colas in the corners and Eloy at DH.

No doubt, but unlikely the Pirates would do it

Holy fuck that was a BOMB

Him or Eloy definitely seem destined to be gone

I love Vaughn, but I’d definitely move him and other stuff for a legit RF

Been a rough week for Vaughn

Not sure, but Diekman was one year removed from an excellent (but shortened) 2020 season. His numbers have further regressed since then.

Oh I don’t care about losing McGuire, this is more about committing salary and a roster spot next year to a 35 year old reliever who hasn’t really been good since the LOOGY rule went into effect and will be managed by one Tony La Russa. It’s not a big deal in the grand scheme of things, but not overly excited it’s going to do much to improve the club this season. Hope I’m wrong because we no doubt need a LH reliever.

It’s a fine move in isolation, although giving up anything for a guy at a market based contract and underperforming is somewhat problematic. My real concern is that Hahn continues to not Tony proof his roster. This dude will face way too many RH hitters and it will cost us.

I assume you’re looking at bWAR…if so, don’t look at fWAR

Diekman at -0.5 fWAR on the season with a 23rd percentile xwOBA. Still really good against lefties, but my guess is Tony will use him incorrectly and erode any potential value.

There’s our SP depth…lol
