Chicago White Sox

What’s with all the fucking bunting?!

Yes!!

But I believe you can change it yourself on the account settings page! Just do it!

Change it back, these name changes are confusing as fuck!

Nice return, but I think Allard has lost some prospect shine. That being said, it’s reason for optimism.

Are you watching the game? Glad to see he’s making some adjustments, both mechanically and approach. Way too early to write him off with his eye and raw power.

Collins 3/5 with two doubles and no K’s Walker 2/2 with two doubles

Fulmer over his last six outings in AAA: 8.1 IP, 16.2 K/9, 2.2 BB/9, 1.1 HR/9, 3.24 ERA, 2.32 FIP Kid has earned one last shot out of the pen.

Exactly...we did this to ourselves.

Agreed, but at $2.5M he would have been a solid backup infielder & clubhouse presence. That’s now longer an option because of his inflated salary.

It’s the definition of being a meatball.

Ugh ?

Agreed, no idea why we continue to give everyday at-bats to Yolmer. We know what he is (a reserve IF) and playing him on a regular basis is simply inflating his future cost.

Yes, I 100% believe Colome has been worth two wins or less. And the average you’re quoting is intended for position players and not relievers. An average reliever is not worth close to two wins. No, I think high leverage innings should be attributed more value than low leverage ones. WAR ignores context which is admittedly a shortcoming. It doesn’t mean WAR is a bad tool like you’re suggesting, just requires a bit more nuance in its application. No idea what that lady line means.

Great, then why did you go through this big charade of “if you don’t want me I’ll leave”? It’s pretty clear you love the attention and have no interest in self reflecting or changing your ways. Otherwise, maybe you’d take what @ChiSox59 said to heart instead of sticking with the same old shtick.

I believe Kennedy has like $38M still left on his deal, so I can’t see anyone taking him without the Royals eating quite a bit of money. Doesn’t sound like the Giants want to trade Smith and Vazquez seems almost too cost prohibitive to acquire. That list makes me feel much more optimistic that we’ll be able to get something decent for Colome.

What relievers are clearly more valuable than Colome that will actually be available and healthy?

Lol...you sure did destroy us all!

We can hope. Still nervous about the amount of modern front offices that will focus on his not great peripherals. All it takes is one team to panic though.

Assuming you mean Carter Kieboom, he’s with the Nationals.

In a post where you pledge on being less negative, you make two different passive aggressive rips against the Sox. This just comes off as an arrogant, half-assed attempt to appease your critics.

Stephens was a 40 man roster casualty, Donna Roach has no baring on that. As for Guerrero, my guess is there may have been attitude issues, but that’s just me speculating.

Oh shit, I had no idea they were the same poster. Know I understand why him and @southsider2k5 (RIP) had so much beef.

I think it’s wrong to say Walker is struggling at High A. He’s most definitely not dominating or playing up to the level of a second round pick out of college, but a 114 wRC+ despite a suppressed BABIP isn’t terrible.

No, his prospect status had already started to fall by then.
