For many years, I had heard that 2866 base hits called for automatic selection to HOF.

Do you like Gorman better than Bryce Bush? Fowler is owed around $50 million. Geez, what a bad contract.

Called him out and probably told Preller to trade him to the White Sox, the only team stupid enough to take him. Then Hahn complied and threw in Tatis.

Even if Shields was perfectly healthy at time of trade, which he wasn't, it was still an incredibly stupid trade. Hahn got off easier than Preller.

I'm still trying to figure out what Sox gained by waiving Kevan Smith.

Segura has been a part of a lot of big trades in short career. Angels, Brewers, Dbacks, Mariners, Phillies.

Traffic is a killer there. Live close to your job.

I have always thought that the team kept unpaid salary during suspension. Don't know why, but I'm sure it started out that way.

Speaking of Big Frank, did hitting coach Walt Hriniak help or hurt Frank? I always had my doubts.

Hoffman had a terrible year. Davidson is a better pitcher. That said, Rockies have a few really good looking prospects, including two third sackers. Both GM's are Harvard grads. They might even be related. There should be a deal there somewhere.

Pretty similar, actually. Probably better defense and can run a bit. I was comparing Patterson more to guys like Cordell, Tilson, Delmonico, maybe even Davidson, all of whom are on the 40 man.

He has better offensive potential than at least 4 guys on our 40 man roster. Just sayin'.

Don't know where else to put this, but Rockies just DFA'd Jordan Patterson. 26 year old Left handed OF/1B with power (26 HR last two years). OPS in the .890's. Wake up, Hahn.

Jose Abreu is still the best hitter on the team.

Watch out, Caulfield, you just offended one of our Mods.

Chisox 1917 was neither hilarious nor hypocritical.

Ryan Sweeney was part of the Swisher debacle. What a lousy trade or two there.

FIrst, if the Sox sign Cargo, which won't happen, he would likely NOT be a DH. He is a better defensive OF than any of our corner guys. Wrong tree.

Long article in The Athletic today. Letter from CEO. I fell asleep reading it.

Of course, some small market teams draw more than White Sox.

Sox should have kept Big Frank.

Who was the trainer that was fired? Anybody know? When, what for, etc?

Two out of three things will happen: 1. Avi stays and has a bad year; 2. Avi goes elsewhere and has a great year; 3. Hahn gets blamed.

Liars don't need an excuse to lie.
