You don't deserve a Mercedes jersey after all the hate you have flung his way.

He can do better than the Phillies.

Hendriks Really Wants to Play for TLR
I know there is unlimited job security in the White Sox organization, but you'd have to imagine Hahn will think hard about leaving this organization if a good offer comes up. I think he definitely leaves once this competitive window is shut.

2020 NBA Regular Season Thread
As nice was making the playoffs would be, getting a lottery pick would be really nice. The possiblity of getting a top pick, and also much more valuable in a trade. I'm hoping KAT asks for a trade at some point... The Bulls need to find a way to add another star.

Sports Media discussion
Sounds like Terry Boers isn't doing so well. They also did a segment on Bernstein and Tahini, Feb 12, where they listened to old B&B clips. Mainly Mike from Milwaukee and Bob clips. Could have just been a coincidence.

Predict the Lineup
Why are you obsessed with DHing Grandal?

Predict the Lineup
If Moncada looks like he is back to precovid form during spring training, you absolutely have to get him 2nd. He is a perfect 2-hole hitter when healthy.

Jonathan Lucroy signs minor league deal with White Sox
Stop it. Nobody could have predicted that Tatis Jr would turn into a perennial MVP candidate. He was a lottery ticket. Yermin's numbers that season in the minors were ridiculous. He mashed in the pitchers paradise at Birmingham then put up an OPS north of 1.000 in AAA. It was clear Yermin could hit and should have been given a chance. Hahn decided to play literal garbage players at DH in a year where the Sox weren't competing. It is inexcusable.

2021 Plan for Kopech and Crochet
... Why? Save the innings early in the season and get an extra year out of him. Ramp up the innings with the expectation that he will have to pitch in the playoffs.

Jonathan Lucroy signs minor league deal with White Sox
100%. It was such an obvious move, and they completely flubbed it. I mean, Matt Skole, Yander Alonso, and AJ Reed in a year the team isn't competing? Such boneheaded moves.

Jonathan Lucroy signs minor league deal with White Sox
I pray Yermin gets a shot to start the year as DH with Collins. Hahn playing trash like AJ Reed, Yander Alonso and Matt Smoke instead of giving Yermin a shot may turn out to be the biggest blunder in his GM career up to this point. Once Vaughn comes up, Yermin's chances to play are over. Somebody else will get him eventually, and he will mash.

Nobody is higher on Yermin's bat than I am, but the guy is in no way, shape or form able to catch at a major league level.

Fangraphs projects Abreu to have the largest dropoff in WAR next season - in the entire MLB!
They know Abreu couldnt hit a beach ball out there while the weather is cold. These number crunchers know their stuff.

COVID-19/Coronavirus thread
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2021/feb/12/andrew-cuomo-new-york-nursing-home-covid-deaths-leaked-recording Who would have thunk that the obnoxious, silver spoon-born New Yorker Andrew Cuomo is no different than Trump despite the (D) next to his name. What a piece of trash. Funny thing is everybody already knew he was sending covid patients back to nursing homes back in May. How did this piece of garbage win an emmy and write a best selling book on covid leadership? This is the clearest example of media bias out there. People were heaping praise on Cuomo when it was already known what his administration was doing.

Keith Law hates the White Sox. Plain and simple.

Andrew Benintendi traded to the Royals
I don't think he is high upside at all. Not much about him excites me.

Andrew Benintendi traded to the Royals
Is it sad that the sox are supposed to be a world series contending team and we are sad about missing out on a failed prospect with very limited upside as our starting RFer?

https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2021/02/which-players-will-have-the-largest-change-in-performance-in-2021.html These numbers are based on the extrapolation of last year's data over an entire season. Very interesting stuff. Hope it doesn't happen, but I wouldn't be entirely surprised.

White Sox adding Jerry Narron as Major League instructor
Yes, I'm sure McKay could fix Eloy's defense in a couple weeks. It's just that easy to do.

Happy PECOTA Day!
Look, nobody believed me when I said Colin Sexton would be a stud and better than Wendell Carter Jr. Trust me when I say that the Sox will be better than the Twins and Indians.

Happy PECOTA Day!
The White Sox offense posted the highest fWAR in the entire mlb last year. This was with our 3B ravaged by covid and a blackhole at DH. Both these things should get fixed this year. I'm pretty sure most offenses would be in big trouble if their stars are bad or got hurt. The offense will be fine.

Dodgers sign Bauer (3/102, opt-outs, 40-45-17)
Jack said 3y/105m, and Bauer technically got 3y/102m, so it was close.

Sounds like Giolito paid a visit to one of those Innovative Ketamine medical practices that are popping up around Chicago- Folty signs with Rangers
Yeah, he steals information from a number of people, including Jimmy. Dude is a fraud - Giolito Working on a New Pitch..."The Downer"
