Man, I'm really hoping this is a turnaround for Yoan. But yeah, four games.

Right. I wonder what @GenericUserName expects more minor league at bats to achieve.

No, common sense says: Eloy Jimenez has done all he can in the minors Spring training is practice games 4 games is 2.5% of the season Everything else is a fabrication on your part.

This garbage is myopic. A good draft pick matters. Period. Nick Madrigal looks like a good pick. Would you rather we not have him?

If Moncada is great and we're still terrible, that's fine. It's annoying we're not winning, but the young guys need to pan out. If we're not going to be good (and looking at this roster, we're not good), then we need to keep accruing talent.

This conversation appears to be going like the Moncada discussion last year. At some point, they have to learn in the major leagues against major league pitching.

6. And then some more.

That’s a great deal. Those two years would be very expensive if he turns out as good as the experts think he can be.

OP is advised to stop watching baseball and up his medication

Why are you comparing a publicly traded company to a franchise of a monopoly-exempt sport? They have almost nothing in common. Google employees Are employed at will and can be fired at any time Don't usually make guaranteed money are not drafted Baseball players make guaranteed money are bound by collectively bargained contracts can only move freely during free agency After signing a free agent deal, their values plummet as their talent remains the same but their pay increases exponentially The White Sox and Google have almost nothing in common.

This post is just the worst. You win and you do it as long as possible. You control your assets as long as possible. You don't give away value on a whim. It's unbelievable people feel this way. Superstars will go wherever they want regardless of how nice the FO is to them. This is a business. You get that extra year.

Come on man. You're not serious. They should albatross their business so Eloy feels comfortable? They can pay him handsomely when it's time to pay him.

It's not. You hold him down /thread

I tend to defend Rick Hahn, but if he calls up Eloy before the three weeks are up, he should be fired. Not "being a dick". It's just good business.

We agree on something, @Tony. feels good

Why is this the only issue on Soxtalk where it's not okay to disagree? Did you read the article? Did you see where he cited Ed Farmer? I mean, come on. Ed Farmer is suppose to carry water for the team that's responsible for his pay.

This may be the most captain obvious thread on this board. He doesn't play in the majors until his extra year kicks in. The union can strike to change the rules.

You pull him up whenever it's most advantageous for the team. Call him up whenever he gets the most years under team control. Every smart team would do that.

"The thing I can't stand is people who don't agree with my assessment" And no one else thinks this attitude is problematic? Before I forget, this article cites posts about percentage of the league average in spending. A rebuilding team has no reason to spend money. They just don't.

This is literally why twitter exists

While JR is mostly to blame, I do believe Rick thought his offer was the best for the team. Rick does contract negotiations extremely well. Problem is he missed badly on this one.

You better be wearing flame retardant clothing with posts like that. I agree with you 100%

@SonofaRoache, if it is so hard for you, go to Footlocker and buy a Yankees hat. You have a troll handle and your posts scream PTSD or depression or both. Do we need another thread with your bs in it?

If 2022 rolls around and all the products of this rebuild are a bust, I'll say fire Hahn.

Polarization effect. Lots of upset people. The more people agree with each other, the more radical they get.
