3rd catcher / insurance in case of injury. For all of the griping over the years about Collins' defense, Mercedes makes him look like Yadier Molina.

So, who is your extra catcher? Zavala?

This board: Yermin will be David Ortiz Also this board: Pass on Luis Colas, too fat

Yeah. Unless he's requested a trade ... I need to see Yermin, Collins or even Zavala absolutely crushing the ball before I want to move McCann for bullpen help unless we're getting a good reliever + a prospect. Like, there's just not an urgency at the moment unless we're getting a really good offer from the Astros or Rockies.

Rick Hahn isn't going to come out and say "Yermin sucks behind the plate." He's also said Collins can catch and defensively improved.

But what do you know about the Sox minors?

Zavala powers victories.

The vane goes from W to E, meaning Moncada is not gonna sign an extension and is in fact going to spurn the White Sox and return to the Red Sox, ruining the entire rebuild.

McRae for OD starter

So Madrigal and Vaughn can surprise the Dodgers with a sneak attack.

While I wouldn't bank on Not Steve Cishek, if anyone can lock up Moncada this early, it's Hahn.

Zavala is on track to homer every game. Fulmer on track to allow no hits and strike out 2 batters per inning. We unstoppable.

Gio's teachings.

Summoning Greg

This thread suddenly took a dark turn.

On Garfein's podcast, he put himself 8th in the lineup. Like, not for lack of confidence, just respecting his teammates.

Anyway, his brother is Adalberto Mondesí of the Royals, so baseball runs strong in the family.

You don't even need to pay for FutureSox to know we signed Elijah Tatis, but please, gripe about Fernando Tatis Jr. some more. No one has done that in this board since the trade. At all.

If an AAV of $3.2M is a dent on this rebuild, we suck.

Varnell gonna come up and fuck up the majors.

This breaks my heart to read.
