Chicago White Sox

Yoan just fouled one off his foot, but appears to be ok.

Yup, he should be out there until he starts costing us games out there.

That was an awesome fucking play

Haven’t watched a lot of spring training games this year, but he’s looked good behind the plate today.

Vaughn makes a catch in LF!?!

Another good frame job by Collins.

I’ll give La Russa some credit, he makes all his responses about the players and not himself. And he clearly realizes how lucky he is to come into a group like this. I obviously won’t endorse his off-field issues, but I’m really hoping he can be everything Ricky wasn’t when it comes to the in-game stuff.

Yup, that’s him with my younger son a couple years back at SoxFest. Dude was super nice and I’ve been a huge fan of his despite his known flaws. I really hope he gets a shot and cements himself as some sort of long-term piece, whether as our backup catcher or regular DH.

Great frame job by Collins!

Abreu misplays a ball at 1B to put the leadoff runner on.

Double steal for us while Kelly loses track of the outs, puts ducks on the pond for Collins.

Moncada is pretty much the fulcrum of the offense this year with Eloy out. We really need him to step up and return to 2019 form.

Didn’t realize that, but also a good call-out on the accuracy of that throw.

Leadoff single for Timmy.

Yeah, someone said he had a noodle arm and from what I could tell it looked perfectly fine.

Sox down 0-1 after a sac fly.

Isn’t MLB moving to an international draft at some point? That’s basically what we need to be on an even playing field and hopefully allows Paddy to his thing without Jerry interfering.

I’d rather have anyone in baseball over Billy Hamilton as my everyday LF, with the only exception being scumbags like Puig.

Just give Giolito all the tank money Jerry is currently pocketing and lock him up forever

Thank god that scumbag is long gone

Leury & Engel both hit LHP well, so you probably rock both of them (when healthy) in the corners against LHP and go with Vaughn in LF and Collins at DH against RHP. Lucroy should never be part of the DH plans IMO.

Like as in major league ready? Probably Luis Gonzalez. Obviously Nick Williams is another option theoretically.

What are you suggesting exactly? The reason the Sox are trying Vaughn out in LF is they think that him plus Collins at DH gives them a better chance to win than Leury in LF everyday and Vaughn at DH?

The one real failure of the rebuild was drafting a bunch corner college bats with reasonably high picks because they were “safe / advanced hitters” and then failing to develop them. Hopefully, we are starting to rectify that a bit with Collins & Sheets as I previously mentioned, but there was a lot of potential impact talent at the HS level we passed on early in the rebuild and it never made much sense to me.

Sorry, meant HS bats. We’ve started taking way more HS kids, but we still haven’t used a 1st round pick on a HS kid since Hawkins. Can’t keep playing it safe at the top and hope to add high impact talent up the middle, especially when you’re going to be drafting in 20’s hopefully. We should be taking the Carter Kieboom’s of the world in the late 1st and not the Zack Burdi’s.
