Quin

Especially cause, once you accounted for defense, he was one of the Sox most valuable players. But computers know jack s%*#.

Cags might have a higher ceiling. While Cags has 40 less at-bats, he has more hits, a higher OPS, more total bases. Kurtz has a higher strikeout rate if my napkin math is remotely correct (and to be fair, walk rate).

Counter point: Giant man hits giant bombs.

James wants to give me a heart attack by having the Sox pass on Jac and Hagen. But also, taking a prep player does make sense. I'd just be devastated passing on either of those two.

I was about to feel really smart and say "what about a garden?", thinking about how so many variables - controllable and not - can determine whether or not plants in my garden grow. Last year we skipped planting tomatoes and one appeared anyway. Then I remembered that it's called a farm system for a reason.

I now know that Southpaw's hat is a separate part of his costume and I don't know how to handle that information.

It was like, "go Andrew! Stay alive!" while also thinking "how have you not launched one by now???"

Vaughn just had a great at-bat and it ended in a slow roller to short.

Y'know, I'll eat some crow on Julks. This will probably jinx him, but he's been making the most of the opportunity.

Well, more context: If the previous director of player development could have developed depth, then they wouldn't have to sign nearly $25 million in shitty roster filler.

So because Moncada is earning $25M+, Getz has free reign to spend money on crap Got it.

Why would Rick Hahn do this???

Can't wait to see what team gets Sosa or Colas cause the Sox needed Clevinger and Wofford

While I'm not actively rooting against the team as a whole, I'm getting enjoyment out of the hilarity that some of these players (and the GM that assembled them) provide with their incompetence.

The stats from his last game.

His last game was a 2024 White Sox game.

Alden Capital is the Reinsdorf of the journalism industry.

What an adjustment on offense by subbing in Korey Lee for Maldonado!

Brebbia is such wasted money.

Vaughn screaming "I got it" at Maldonado made me laugh for some reason. Like it was a legitimate scream

I'll give the players this, they're handling Pedro's attempt at looking badass professionally

Nastrini looks like a man who knows he just gave up an insurmountable lead

He is used to chaperoning children across dangerous circumstances. Who better to oversee our rookie development?

Literally right here.

Everyone mentioning Gonzalez in this thread is providing the evidence that a prospect going cold for an extended period at a new level isn't an apocalyptic event. Jackson Holliday was ass in his debut and his numbers in AAA have dropped since. I don't think the Orioles are in extreme panic.
