Jerksticks

I still feel like he’s a HOFer if we just left him at 3rd. 3rd is a swagger position and he was crushing it. Nothing cool about 2nd base and totally neutered him beyond repair. might be time to dust off the Beckham projections thread for laughs

The goal is $30M for 0 or less WAR.

It needs to add up to the dollar amount a top tier FA would cost per year.

cheers to @WhiteSox2023 for using Soxcess in the other thread. Never seen it before but it hits home for sure. Thought it would be fun to really explore the depths of this word. More than simply a word to all of us. I mean where to begin. So many layers. It means so much. Right away I’m getting some Kingpin vibes like with Munson being a verb, but way worse. Never really having the world in the palm of your hand like Munson, but instead just always messing it up since forever and to confidently keep going on the suck path. Soxcess

I’m not sure how the organization works either. What we know is that they’ve had some high payrolls but they’ve also never signed a large contract for a top tier player. Both are true. It is what it is only until it isn’t.

Yea this guy sucks wtf are we doing

My opinion is that we still need a lot of good players. Once we get good players I’ll probably become a fan again.

Really need to hit him where it hurts. Need articles with tons of interviews confirming things like: “he’s not a sportsman”, “won’t be remembered as a sportsman”, “probably won’t be remembered as a sports team owner”, “has never had the respect of other owners or reporters”, “never had what it takes to have a competitive nature”, “not a man’s man”, didn’t have the cajones to compete with the big teams and build a preeminent franchise”, “just a middling man only able to sustain a middling franchise” Just all kinds of cheapy, low blow ego attacks that make him seam sports adjacent instead of part of the sporting community. venting done

For sure. Reminds me of whoever blew up Dickman had no business even being on the field if I remember right. Ended Dickman’s breakout momentum

Yes!

3. Why JR credits this thread for giving Soto the first billion dollar contract next year

What’s attendance like this year?

I’ve still never watched him play but that’s super concerning. I feel like KW mostly targeted good players with his sneaky deals. They could find TCQ, Eaton. They had their misses for sure too. It’s early but Getz’ trades feel like they’re leaning miss overall.

I get your point but it seems like the one path to sustained success is the pipeline. That’s it. Having the best pipeline should be the investment

lol just trade him now for Burger straight up
