If anyone is keeping up with the Rookie of the Year race between Luis and Kyle Lewis. Luis: More homers (10) and RBIs (24), lower batting average (.298), OBP (.348), and less runs scored (22). Vastly superior defense and higher fWAR (1.7). Lewis: Less homers (8), RBIs (22), higher batting average (.328), OBP (.418), and runs scored (29). Worse defense and lower WAR (1.6). I think Luis' comparable offense, highlight defense, and the fact that the Sox are contenders in part to him is what will push him over the edge (especially the last part). If he wins a Gold Glove, that'll clinch it for him.

Great, call me when the Padres are in first in their division. Also, let's talk about their bad contracts, which are a lot worse than a cheap bullpen guy, the second best catcher in the league hitting his career averages, a flyer on EE, etc. Hosmer's deal is trash. Shields was a trash contract, even if the Sox bailed them out. Also, oh right, Preller fucking lied on the medicals. Myers is overpaid to high hell and back. Drew Pomeranz. Sorry I won't list our every failed vet minimum signing, because I don't want to list 50 players like I'm baseball reference on a speedball. You can't enjoy the first fun season of white Sox baseball because you have to get obsessed with another Yasiel Puig/KC Royals scenario. Oh look, the Padres added a pitcher who parties during the plague! They are the height of luxury!

The crazy thing is I somehow felt they were going to win the whole time.

While most of the mock drafts are no longer available, SB Nation's consensus has Schwarber at 16th: https://www.sbnation.com/mlb/2014/5/29/5759878/updated-consensus-2014-mlb-mock-draft It was a phenomenal pick by the Cubs. But hindsight is 2020 and Rodon was the obvious pick at #3.

Lmao. Schwarber was considered a reach at the time and the Cubs supposedly coveted Rodon, the projected #1 pick who only fell because two high schoolers were shiny new toys.

Holy shit, a GM listened to his scout and his boss. Also, he nailed the Sale, Q, and Eaton trades. Based largely on their extensions that he negotiated. Get out of here with that weak shit.

At this point, with Engel emerging and Collins being sent down, might as well.

Mendick has a dancing partner once again.

Damn, I can't believe I have to ban Ron over this. RIP Ron.

White Sox Talk (Garfein) is what you listen to if you want homerish, positive takes on the Sox. Yeah, it's fluffy, but you also feel good. Sox Machine is what you listen to if you want to hate the team you love.

Hot take: Sox finish better than the Padres, deeper in the postseason.

We all know Lance Lynn will draw crowds for a last place or next-to-last place team.

Texas fans are pissed.

Yeah...with the three known teams bidding, the price had to be astronomical. Pass.

This is the worst move of the day. Getting no value for Lynn and Gallo when you have the Dodgers, Braves, and Sox bidding is the height of folly.

"Luis Robert for Lynn" "No" "Vaughn" "No" "We won't trade in that case!" "K"

Rick please stand pat

that was the John McGrath or whatever

I can confidently say Bucket is not Steve Cishek. I cannot confidently say Bucket is Not Steve Cishek.

Little Foot jerseys would skyrocket. Our payroll would pretty much infinite. Also, once he fills out, our OF defense is set between Robert and Little Foot.

This is the dumbest sentence you've ever written on this site. "There's so much talent in the lineup assembled by the general manager, not even the general manager can screw up." There is this website, where you can stan Mr. False Medical Reports: https://madfriars.com/subscribers-forum/

Stealth Bomber Kenny returns, Sox land...Scherzer. Which is my way of saying I have no clue.

Woodruff

Yeah, she's attractive, but don't act like she doesn't get to voice her concerns about internet neckbeards objectifying her because they can't land a date or open an incognito browser. She's voice Squirrel Girl in several animated appearances and has done a good job as the character. It got shelved because Marvel Studios took over Marvel TV and eliminated all of the original television shows in favor of Disney+ shows.

I forgot Tebow was a baseball player and thought this was the equivalent of saying we traded for a football free agent.
