Ahhhh, yes.

There’s no way anybody can convince me Moose is a good second baseman. He’s huge. I haven’t seen him play 2B, so I don’t have any data I’ll admit, but cmon. This dude is not a middle infielder. I find the idea of his defense there being even passable as quite the leap. We don’t need a low OBP third baseman- we have a budding superstar there. DH and rotational fill-in? I dunno, maybe? Can’t we do better?
-
Haha yes! They hired that idiot. This is almost as good as us signing Cole
-
Oh wait he had dozier at 2nd and bench to keep it warm for Madrigal- not moose. I like that idea even better. More realistic too!

I listened to the first half of the Sox podcast and I think it was Kamka’s prediction. I loved every second of it. Happy to go down with the ship. Full steam ahead to idiot bliss!

I’m starting to think the Sox are going huge. Cole, JDM, Moose, Grandal plus bullpen. the time is now while all the rooks are cheap.

Which players are you paying extra attention to next year?

Me too man. Hands down our most important prospect to get right. That makes the Sox a dynasty easily. -
Rumor: Reinsdorf aims to build second place teams
Jerksticks replied to Jack Parkman's topic in Pale Hose Talk
I’m sure they prefer winning baseball as well, I’d say 99.9% of people fall into that category. -
Rumor: Reinsdorf aims to build second place teams
Jerksticks replied to Jack Parkman's topic in Pale Hose Talk
Lol me too. Can somebody come up with a chart showing our first place finishes under Reinsdorf? How many times has it happened?! -
I don’t think it’s a total crap shoot. Winning the most games doesn’t mean you’re the best team, especially with 76 division games, injuries etc.

Chicago writer adds Q, R.Hill and Hamels to FA want list
Jerksticks replied to caulfield12's topic in Pale Hose Talk
I’m fine with not signing the big dogs but we can’t have 2-3 gas cans back there again. The young guys deserve to have a chance to compete and figure out how to win close games and whatnot. No Covey, no Bañuelos, no Detwiler, no Santiago...and no cheap FA versions of those guys. -

Jerksticks replied to Jack Parkman's topic in Pale Hose Talk
Absolutely. That’s all that matters and there’s nothing wrong with it. Reading any more into it than that is crazy. -

It’s just sports -
Love the professional franchises dig. I’m one of the bigger FO apologists but even I hope Hahn KW or JR sees that. Like cmon dudes. Let’s be world class. Let’s be the absolute best. The envy of the league. Leave the cubs in the ducking dust once and for all. We have a core that makes theirs look like little league. Foot on the gas time.

I like the Daniel Hudson prediction. That’s a good one.

That was fucking awesome!

The Official Too Soon Mock Off Season Thread
Jerksticks replied to TheFutureIsNear's topic in Pale Hose Talk
Ok calling it now: White Sox trade Bummer & Walker/Adolfo for Dylan Carlson from the Cardinals once they extend Ozuna. There’s your opening day RF. Or they go for Pache but I think it’ll be Carlson. -
Martinez in a heartbeat. That bat man
-
Have they tried punching Yolmer in the face every time he hits a fly ball? Maybe that would discourage him. It’s one of the hardest things for me to watch
-
Saying it was a failure is incorrect, but I think saying that it was completely unimpressive and cheap is arguable. A team with top 3 resources loses on purpose for years, kris Bryant falls into their lap, then they outlay almost half a billion dollars in one year to buy a World Series in a down year competitively in baseball, everyone on the pitching staff has a career year, the Indians are missing their best players, and they barely squeak one out with prospects. Then they spend another half billion to sustain playoff appearances, dwarfing all other teams in spending, draft like complete crap outside of Bryant, and now find themselves in a mess. Yawn. If your strategy is simply to outspend everybody else, it’s not that cool.
