Ok everyone, best and final offers (real meaning of the term, not MLB owner meaning) for Manaea. GO!

No, Jack has definitely said this before you.

Yes. The post is r/NFL's equivalent of Tim Anderson at catcher. It has become heavily memed.

That one beer vendor that goes "BEEEEEEEeeeeeRRRRRRRRrrrr" in a gravely voice.

As a fellow eastern time zoner, I'm down with this.

Give it a read. All time dumb sports take.

This is a legit insult to Tim Anderson.

Part of what makes this fun. - Burger gets the big lead if he either magically forces Yoan back to second, learns to play a passable second himself, or something else funky happens. - Micker can get it if Leury starts the season at SS and due to Vaughn's injury, they roll with Adolfo in right for a few games and he goes full April Yermin. - I laid out the Romy case above. - Lord knows we'd all love a competent backup catcher, which is the case for Perez.

Yeah, the "save the season" line is a bit tongue in cheek. Maybe Sousa gets it by having Codi Heuer's 2020, but over a full season. Even with the loaded up bullpen, that would get you some White Sox ROY votes.

But he's still on the roster, which means the White Sox are currently 7th. This is like the "if you remove Patrick Mahomes amazing games, he's an average QB" post.

And, while not unique to Sox fans, we are a bunch of loyal motherfuckers to anyone that does anything remotely cool for the franchise.

Anyway, despite my Adolfo love, I voted Romy because TLR loves him some god damn positional versatility. Lower strikeout rate than Micker, but only one less homer in 2021. Adolfo's options put him in a precarious position.

Nick Madrigal roiding up and hitting 600 homers and ruining Norge Vera's perfect game with a walk (only to get picked off) is the dankest timeline.

Inspired by @bmags #BurgerBoys campaign and my desire for #MickerMania, I figure we could all get behind (or weep tears upon) a discussion about who could be the White Sox rookie that will save the season. These arbitrary 10 names were picked using MLB Pipeline's projected arrival timeline (always 100% accurate) + Yolbert Sanchez and Carlos Perez, because lord knows second base and backup catcher are going to have the opportunities available and cause I said so. You may obviously suggest someone else. Gavin Sheets missed the cutoff by 29 at-bats, for those keeping score at home.

The Giants keep claiming and releasing White Sox outfielders named Luis, hoping one day Rick Hahn's phone auto completes the sentence in a horrific manner for White Sox fans.

For a non-us perspective, r/baseball is of the opinion that unless you're the Brewers, your depth sucks.

I mean, after the past two years, you can give people a pass. Maybe whatever issue he was dealing with was unrelated to the pandemic, but it certainly can't be ruled out.

ADOLFO LIVES

This was a well discussed talking point when Robert signed. It blows absolute chunks, but it was discussed a lot.

They actually renamed Kimbrel as part of the deal. If his ERA is above 4, he goes by Craig Anheuser-Busch. ERA below 3 his name changes to Craig "Miller Lite is the Best." An ERA between those two, he is simply known as Craig Presented by Binny's Beverage Depot

Spumoni is talking about Haseley starting in Charlotte, Micker making the bigs.

Maybe not. THE DREAM STAYS ALIVE.

Also this would seemingly stick a fork in Micker Mania and that makes me a sad panda.

Really loved Haseley in the draft. He did OK in the majors in 2019 and 2020, but his numbers in the minors and majors in 2021 are uninspired.
