Chicago White Sox

That’s why you target rentals.

Agreed. I’d still target rentals to minimize the prospect cost, but we’re past the point of worrying too much about giving some B & C tier prospects.

I’d still rather not move those guys if possible, but I agree we can’t let one or two of those prospects hold us back from filling a major league need during our window.

Fully agree. Escobar isn’t a perfect player, but he’s the best option for 2B that won’t be overly costly. Adding some power to the bottom of the lineup will help us immensely.

This is a great team when healthy no doubt, but we can’t let beating up on the Tigers convince us the offense is stronger than it is. Reinforcements will be needed, at least for the playoffs.

Yeah, there are very few prospects I’d be worried about moving.

That’s the dude we need!

Even if they can, something else could go wrong. We don’t need stars in 2B or RF, but we definitely need upgrades.

But I do have faith in La Russa forcing the front office to make a couple win now moves.

They can’t just bank on Eloy & Robert to fix all their problems either. We need a RF & 2B IMO.

Fuck

No walks!

Rodon picking it up a notch due to his hatred of the cheating Astros.

Below average speed perhaps, but we’re talking about a guy in the bottom 10% of sprint speed. If the hitter fails to execute then the base runner is dead to rights. I’m not against if we’re playing for a single run late in the game or a high contact / high contact hitter is up like Madrigal, but that wasn’t the situation.

Depends on what’s agreed to in the new CBA, but right now we could and likely would.

As impressive as Rodon has been and despite being younger, I’d still rather extend Lynn. Dude has become an all-time favorite overnight.

Yup, Collins is almost certainty the second slowest guy on the team after Grandal. Just doesn’t make sense to hit & run with him outside of very unique scenarios.

It’s so bittersweet seeing Hard Carl finally reach his potential after being DFAed and now approaching FA. Hopefully we can ride his arm to a title this year.

Exactly, it was a horrible time to call for a hit and run.

Mendick is to blame too no doubt, but ultimately I don’t like managers over-managing, especially early in games. And I’m not sure I get the logic of hit & running in that situation there even if I put my old school baseball hat on.

Three straight guys get on base and nothing to show for it. Stop inserting yourself in games Tony.

What the fuck was that???

Collins need to play more against RHP. I’d seriously consider going with him & Grandal at C & DH most games when facing a righty.

We should have added both. TBH, if it’s not for COVID and Jerry going cheap, it probably would have happened.

That’s not Grandal’s fault. And hopefully once get Eloy & Robert back and add a bat or two that won’t be a problem.
