Chicago White Sox

Robert bomb #2

I think that’s enough Keuchel for one day

He’ll bat leadoff on Opening Day with Tim out.

I hope Leury bats cleanup just once this year

Regular season Yoan beats that out I think

Big Energy gets robbed

I don’t dislike the guy, but his starts are the least enjoyable to watch even when things are going good for him. When he’s K’ing less than 5 per 9 and getting beat up to the tune of a 5+ ERAtl they are even more brutal.

Moncada should probably bat 6th or 7th against lefties. Realistically, it’s still good to have him break up some of the righties and I’d rather have his bat first once the bullpen kicks in than Engel or Harrison/Legend

Edit: we’ll I missed the mark with this…lol

So I definitely forgot Heaney was a lefty. As such, here’s what I’d rock against LHP: Anderson, SS Robert, CF Grandal, C# Abreu, 1B Jimenez, DH Vaughn, LF Moncada, 3B# Engel, RF Harrison, 2B

If everyone is healthy, I don’t think we lose against a lefty this year

Would be nice if Kimbrel & Bellinger changed sides mid game

Robert bomb

God help us all

Cespedes homer off Walker Burhler in the B game.

They’re replacing Rodon with Kopech who is projected for 2.7 wins.

If I were manager, here’s the lineup I’d rock against RHP: Moncada, 3B# Robert, CF Grandal, C# Jimenez, LF Abreu, 1B Anderson, SS Sheets, DH* Vaughn, RF Harrison, 2B

He’s still one of our best hitters against RHP and most of his value comes from being on base. You really want the slap factory hitting behind him?

I don’t want to be the guy bitching about spring training lineups, but Vaughn 9th, Harrison batting 7th, and Moncada batting 6th are all problems.

Lineup: Anderson, SS Robert, CF Abreu, 1B Grandal, C# Jimenez, LF Moncada, 3B# Harrison, 2B Garcia, DH# Vaughn, RF

Because making the playoffs is 3/4 the battle.

People whining about a shitty offseason is not the same as saying the team is bad.

Show me one person who has argued the Sox aren’t a top team on paper.

Anyone got any backup catcher ideas? I may have been Collins’ biggest defender in the past, but it’s as clear as day he can not catch at the major league level. We don’t need anything crazy either, but looks any upgrades will have to come via the trade market.

We have no idea what’s been offered or rejected, so impossible for any of us to answer your questions. That being said, I’m sure the A’s are taking their time and ensuring they are getting the best offer possible since they can.
