Cubs ditched Ricky - Sox keepin him so far. Cubs have always taking who runs the club far more seriously even though that worked for them once. We have the only manager in baseball that batter the worst hitter 4th.

Still weak at manager. This is why they win 85 at most.

I don't this talent can overcome the incompetent managerial staff.

This was the biggest shocker to me and they didn't waste time. It was so un WHite Sox.

Anyone have confidence that Coop can fix anybody?

I don't want to trust all of this talent to the current coaching staff. I think the Sox will contend in 2020 but how one defines contend is a different story.

Only if you are Hamels.

I'm not upset they didn't spend all of that money on a guy who only pitched in the NL. Maybe the Sox want Cole anyway.

There's also Shark and Peavy. It's a Sox thing and no stats on paper is going to change that.

Should have gotten rid of Charlotte's manager.

Not a bad run for the Cubs though. Games aren't played on paper.

It's a cultural thing in Latin countries and so is bullfighting. I doubt this happened in the states. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cockfight

But you always wanted to be one of those students. Unfortunately I did not have hot teachers when I was in high school.

Should this thread be closed now?

While it could be a defensive improvement, we know Anderson can hit AL pitching, not so sure how long it would take for the other guy. The Sox have a poor history of veteran NL talent working out for them. Shark is just another example.

He needs to adjust to AL pitching.

It feels odd now that this team has a strength is at catcher.

Or fear he would be a standout player on another team.

The Sox seem to have no shortage of producing players that are only suited for DH/1B because of their inability at defense. Those are often the hardest players to trade to the NL.

I have to wonder if it really makes sense to spend that kind of money on a guy that is out there every 5 days. Cole wont win the division for this team. As bad as the staff was last year I don't have any confidence in Cooper.

If the net were around in the 70's I could imagine your rant when the Sox preferred Lamar Johnson over Jim Spencer.

LOL expect it to happen again with Cole and Strasburg.

We only need to hear it a 1000 more times. Ron just doesn't think anyone is listening.

Said no agent ever.

I wasn't sure but it was my greatest fear since the Sox are content with really bad. Consider it good news that Rickey can't play him.
