Chicago White Sox

If you can get a good package for him then by all means and go out and sign Grandal in the offseason. Just not optimistic the return will justify the risk we’d be taking at the catcher spot and it seems like the front office is interested in extending him.

Just to show how ridiculous this post is, here’s the offseason additions (excluding any minor league promotions) for a White Sox team that ended up being pretty good: Jermaine Dye (RF) A.J. Pieryznski (C) Tadahito Iguchi (2B) Scott Podsednik (LF) Chris Widger (C) Pablo Ozuna (UTL) Orlando Hernández (SP) Dustin Hermanson (RP) Luiz Vizcaíno (RP) Bobby Jenks (RP)

Our GM didn’t make any “big” acquisitions over the winter, he simply added several placeholders to buy time for the prospects and traded for a guy to help in their pursuit of Machado. Argue it was a waste of money, but no one should have been expecting much out of these guys outside of maybe Colome & Herrera.

God it was so nice when the the team overachieving because it prevented you from screaming this ridiculous narrative over and over again. But to act like they can’t put a winning product on the field next year is beyond ridiculous. Keep: Moncada (3B), Anderson (SS), Eloy (LF), Abreu (1B), McCann (C), Leury (UTL), Giolito (SP1), Cease (SP4), Kopech (SP4), Lopez (SP5/LR), Colome (CL), Bummer (SU), Fry (MR), Herrera (MR) Promote: Robert (CF), Madrigal (2B), Collins (BC) Acquire: RF, DH, IF, OF, SP2, SP5/LR, SU, MR That’s eight spots we’d have to fill worst case scenario (there are internal options at some of these spots), but only say five of any real significance (it’s hilarious you think every team has perfect 25 man rosters). There is zero reason Hahn can’t fill those five spots when he should have a good $70M to work with even after extending Abreu.

None of what he posts makes sense because he’s trolling. He repeats the same ridiculous comments in every thread simply to garner attention.

There is still momentum, just a ton of bad players at the moment, especially on the pitching side. The good news is by mid April of next year our lineup should feature Moncada, Anderson, Jimenez, Abreu, McCann, Robert, & Madrigal and our rotation will have Giolito, Cease, & Kopech as foundational pieces. There is still plenty of work to do, but with our financial flexibility there is zero excuse for Hahn not to put a contender out there next year.

He’s got to be close to retirement or at least we can hope.

If Ricky acknowledges this publicly and hasn’t made a change then god help us all.

What the fuck does that “kind of strayed away from that” comment mean when it comes to game plans? How is that even remotely acceptable?

Anything is possible but Aaron Bummer landing a quality prospect...got it.

Nothing special <> terrible. And how did Anderson grade out last year defensively?

Lol...those guys are going to return hauls ?

Our infield defense is “terrible”?

For real?!?

I mean, I think it’s pretty obvious that I meant he wouldn’t see the majors this year. That prediction may ultimately be wrong, but them signing him to a minor deal doesn’t change shit right now.

Nimmo is definitely a good buy low option for the OF. And right or wrong, I feel like the Sox will do everything in their power to add a LH bat there.

Lol...so the rebuild somehow magically ends right when Moncada & Giolito hit free agency. Step yo troll game up bro.

Do we have reason to believe he’s seriously hurt?

So Moncada has looked like ass for three and a half games? Giolito has a slight rough patch (leagues better than 2018 bad Lucas) and looked fine last night before he got hit by a ball. We don’t even know the extent of Eloy’s injury and it sounds like Timmy will be back soon. Not sure what you’re panicking about to be honest. This has been an absolutely awesome year for the young guys.

Yup, as long as the young guys play well, a rough second half isn’t the end of the world and just might have a silver lining.

He’s 22 years old and still developing, plus plenty of smart, plus defensive OFs have had moments like this. The play tonight tonight should have no bearing on his ability to stick in the OF.

Yup, sounds like they may need to take the arm and while there have been one arm pitchers, I’m unaware of any one arm hitters.

This made me laugh.

You’re honestly suggesting Eloy should be a DH because of bad communication on one play?

A slow start coming out of the All Star break and @OneDog847 already writing off 2020. You can’t make this shit up ?
