I think his ceiling is highest at 2B. He has some great potential there defensively. I get we have Madrigal, but we have plenty of CF options. Robert, LuGo and basabe have chances to play there.

Once Madrigal starts shredding the minors, we can worry about it. Once that happens we flip him or bring him up upon an injury

IMO, the only way the Sox sign Machado is if they front load the contract. Obviously they will need to add opt out years too. Something like 40 mll the first year or 35 mil the first two years. The opt out needs to be at earliest after year 4. Ideally, it is after year 5. Dump Avi and contribute that payroll to Machado. If it doesn't bother Machado, nontender Abreu as well. Contribute that salary to Machado. The Sox need to do everything in their power to get Machado.

Well, that explains most of your posts

What types of diet changes??

Is it just me or are more position players getting TJs surgery now a days? I wonder if they just didn't catch it back in the day with position players.

You are making the claim that they have absolutely no chance at signing Manny, despite having the money to do so. You are also making the claim that free agents go to contenders rather than for the money, despite historical evidence showing otherwise. Then you make ridiculous demands for evidence. You probably shouldn't make insane demands for evidence if you aren't willing to provide any evidence.

Lmao sure thing buddy.

Wow man, such a bold take. Predicting that a top FA WON'T sign with one of the many teams. I liked the part where you used rationale and reasoning that has been historically incorrect.

I'd rather the front office save money instead of paying Avi. Go for the gold and try to get Machado. That is 8 mil more you can pay him next year. Trade or nontender Abreu and you get an additional 16mil to pay him.

On the fence about what to do with Abreu. If that 16mil can he spent on Machado, I think you nontender him. Him and Avi alone leave 24mil to spend on Machado.

So after 2 months of pitching he should be back to his normal velocity? Recovering from Tommy John's is that easy huh?

Undertaker and Kane vs Triple H and Shanw Michael's... Return of DX... They may not be able to wrestle well anymore, but I like the nostalgia

Isn't it still pretty soon after his surgery? Not too worried about it at this point

Currently doing play by play on ESPN 2 for the statcast broadcast. This guy announces for a number of broadcasts and a number of different sports. The reviews are somewhat mixed for him on here, but are we seeing one of the next bigtime sports broadcasters grow before out eyes?

I'm not at all holding that against Herm, but the neurosurgeon's at rush deserve credit for that.

Why is Herm all of the sudden off limits? Top to bottom, the org was a joke when it came to staying healthy.

Herm

Why are people so convinced teams will be offering buyous at year 2-3?

Something else to consider is that the White Sox can afford to frontload a contract more than any other teams. Money is always better now rather than later. This may be appealing enough to push an opt out to later in the contract.

Out of 30 teams. That isn't bad. Just a reminder to all doom and gloomers that it ain't easy to win a world series, and most cities don't get to experience it. It could be much much worse.

He wants it now though. To hell with context. Give the man a world series!

Why have you been saying "wait til next year" for years now? It has been clear for the past few years that the Sox would not be competitive in the upcoming season. I'm not sure what you were thinking.

Well he didn't walk away after one or two years, despite what he claimed, so it obviously wasn't a big enough deal
