FutureSox: Mock Draft 1.0
But have you considered that I, someone who loves oddities, very much wants Jac. Just kidding (not about loving oddities like Jac), Griffin looks like he could be a monster.

Getz is operating differently and that's at least interesting
It hasn't even been one offseason, but if his vision for the team is "all defense, no offense," then we are in for a rough Getz tenure. Kenny was all about catching lightning in a bottle, getting his guy, and using the farm to supplement the MLB roster. Honestly, if they had expanded playoffs during Kenny's tenure, this might have worked. Rick was all about trying to build a star offensive-focused core with power pitchers in the rotation, locking them up to team friendly deals, and supplement them with an expensive bullpen (where he could conceivably outbid teams) and other players he traded for (but he got starstruck by prospect rankings / could not develop). Getz, well, we know his hands are tied with the budget. But the Mena deal feels like a KW "use the farm to supplement the MLB roster" move where they sacrifice youth for an immediate fix. He talks about trying to make the team attractive for pitchers— with his 1-year signings of mediocre vets who are good defensively, but are aging. There's also a part of me that feels insane because JR waxed poetic about Getz "teaching" players in the minors to field baseballs. But for some reason that hasn't been the case at all during Getz's tenure, so if he's going to be like KW and Rick Hahn where he relies on going outside of the system — like Mena for Fletcher — to build his vision, then that's a problem. I've also been extreme blunt that I'm judging Getz on a curve because his hiring process was a joke.

You don't want to sign Paul "please pray to Jobu" Dejong to a long term deal?

Probably cause the location isn't really great for people that enjoy going to concerts. What are they gonna do when the concert ends? Or are they expected to tailgate?

This is Joely Rodriguez erasure. But also, without saying "signs with," this could imply a trade. I thought we traded Popeye.- 2023-24 NFL Season Thread
It's like how every soft-tossing, late-draft pick from an obscure college the White Sox take is the next Buehrle- 2023-24 NFL Season Thread
Yes, but it is also the same stupid logic. You ever see Mitch do this? I think if you take either at #1, take Williams. But if the Commanders offer a dump truck and the Bears grade the two of them the same (or if they grade Caleb at 90/100 and Maye at 89/100), take the bag and Maye.- 2023-24 NFL Season Thread
I think the Bears should avoid Caleb Williams due to Matt Leinart and Mark Sanchez- Sox invite 25 to Spring Training including Danny Mendick
DeJong just got put on notice.- Sox trade Cristian Mena to Arizona for OF Dominic Fletcher
I should stressed that I meant hitting wise.- Sox trade Cristian Mena to Arizona for OF Dominic Fletcher
If you told me that Adam Hackenberg or Carlos Perez had the best spring training of all the catchers, I would not bat an eye.- Official NBA 22-23

It checks so many boxes. Good location Skyline Pinwheels are still there (I personally would prefer that they have staggered heights, but it's most important that they are there) Tiered bleachers look cool Exterior plaza. Jerry could put so many statues here.- Sox trade Cristian Mena to Arizona for OF Dominic Fletcher
They did this because they didn't want a photo of Lane Ramsey standing next to Fletcher- Sox looking at building in South Loop
My Cubs fan friend that loves to regularly rag on the Sox says the design is worse than GRF, so I take that as an endorsement - Rodriguez to Blue Jays...
