Chicago White Sox

No, three year deals are always riskier than one year deals. I know you hate vets, but arguing this is quite frankly ridiculous.

MLBtraderumros projects 1/$8M which would be perfect for us if Ottavino really wants three years.

That’s what they’re trying to do with Machado & Harper?

Are those guys actually better than Avi?

If we land Machado, I’m ok with Avi on a cheap one-year, contract to mix in with Palka & Alonso.

Lol...let’s give someone the internet tough guy of the day award! But getting back to the point, my argument was projection systems don’t know how to project for young players. I never said anything about our players other than I expect Lopez to blow his Steamer projection out of the water. Since you’re an expert on projection systems, what is the MAPE for a guy in his first two seasons relative to a guy five years deep? Pick whatever system you like, do you really think the MAPEs would be the same? Unlike you, I’ll withhold judgment until I hear what you have to say.

What in the fuck are you talking about.

It doesn’t and Theo isn’t stupid.

Yikes...

I agree. When it comes to young relievers, I like having several guys competing for spots and then allowing the winners to prove themselves in low leverage situations. If all goes well, the first group moves into high leverage roles and the next wave gets their opportunity.

Very Very nice post!!

I’m pretty sure he lives in Chicago unfortunately ?

Right now this post holds true, say it ain’t so Joe!

Get that negativity out of here son.

Where you at @ChiliIrishHammock24?

Not just minor leaguers, but also guys in their first or second major league season. Lopez would be a perfect example of a guy who I expect to take big leap in year 2 and blow his steamer projection out of the water.

Need a starter too though.

100% agree, although make it 3/$49M so it costs a lesser pick.

It’s either a bullpen piece, a starter, or an OF that theoretically can play CF. My guesses would be: Ottavino Herrera Allen Pomeranz Gonzalez Adam Jones (yikes)

Can you at least say if it’s a signing or trade right now so we can speculate? I got another 45 minutes of work to kill.

Just share what you know and we’ll credit both of you guys tomorrow if it turns out to be true ?

I’m guessing he’s never been on twitter or something, because all fanbases would react with similar excitement.

Yup, and I originally had a lot of respect for him based on how he communicated it. But then he took this bizarre u-turn and just starting ripping the White Sox for no logical reason. There could been other ways to distant himself from the rumor if that’s what is was about.
