COVID Thread Part Deux
On the production that I'm working on, I contracted Covid 19 from someone a month ago. It seems like every week, there's been a couple new cases of covid in this production. Luckily I've been vaccinated and my symptoms were very, very mild but as someone with a fake heart and very bad lungs, I was terrified. The first couple of nights in quarantine were very scary as I couldn't breathe. Luckily, I was able to avoid going to the hospital. I don't know what it will take for the unions to step up and demand that only vaccinated people be hired on to productions going forward but its well past time. We're around each other for up to 16 hours a day regularly. Mask are just a first line of defense, there's more that can be done to protect everyone.

Rodon Contract Value
I think the Sox will offer him a QO but he won't be coming back. I think his floor is $80M and his ceiling might be closer to $100M than we think. I think the Sox are better served using that money elsewhere.

White Sox linked to Oscar Colas (duh) and Erick Hernandez
They should both be top 30 guys, right?

I'm more excited by Hernandez than Colas. If the Sox want to be competitive year round like the Dodgers and Rays, then they need to invest more resources into the DR and Venezuela, instead of just focusing on older Cuban players. Juan Soto was the 25th ranked player in his class FWIW

MLB Pipeline top 30 update
Right now, I'd rather have Montgomery than Burger just based on where things stand currently but I'll always take the up middle guy with upside over a corner only guy with a bad body.

Minor League Catch-All 2021
It’s very disappointing, I wasn’t expecting a lot from any of the prep arms from the 2020 draft coming after a year with no minors but it’s very disappointing. Considering that he’s a $3M player.

Jared Kelley needs to get into shape, needs to get his body in order.

8/14 Sox vs Yankees - 6:10 CT first pitch
Why isn’t Hendriks or Kimbrel pitching here?
-
Sox vs. Yankees 6:15pm CDT - In Iowa - on FOX
Hendricks was bad but that was a horribly managed inning

Sox vs. Yankees 6:15pm CDT - In Iowa - on FOX
And that’s why Collins will find himself off the playoff roster.

The White Sox 3-5 year window
There willing bench guys out there who are better than Leury. And I’m not asking for much, Leury is horrendous, he’s awful. He’s lucky to be in the bigs. The Sox are too good a team to have a guy like him on the roster. I doubly he could stick in Pittsburgh or Baltimore.

The White Sox 3-5 year window
I was going to make a post about free agency but I post this year for now. The Sox need to upgrade their bench and utility guys. They need to replace guys like Leury Garcia with people who can take walks, put up solid OBP’s and guys who hit the ball in the air. They hit the ball on the ground way too much and if their not hitting, the offense can’t get anything going.

Sox at Cubs, 1:20
I knew the Sox GB rate had to be high but almost 48% of the time? That has to be addressed. Hit the ball in the air.

Cesar Hernandez traded to White Sox, Konnor Pilkington to CLE
That's very true but I'd still rather seeing Herhandez hitting 5th or 6th in our injury riddled lineup than bat second, especially when Moncada and Vaughn are there.
-
Cesar Hernandez traded to White Sox, Konnor Pilkington to CLE
Yeah I like Moncada batting second, he should bat there everyday when he's in the lineup and one the day's he not in the lineup, Vaughn should be hitting there. When everyone is healthy I hope the lineup looks like this... Anderson Moncada Abreu Eloy Grandal Robert Vaughn Engel/Goodwin Hernandez
-
Cesar Hernandez traded to White Sox, Konnor Pilkington to CLE
I like the Hernandez addition but he shouldn't be batting second at all. He should bat 7th, 8th or 9th. Especially when Grandal and Robert are healthy.

Pitching worries
I think they need depth arms to rest their guys down the stretch. I guess Jonathan Steiver was supposed to be this guy but you can't trust him in the bigs yet
-
Hernandez & Tepera Activated; Burr & Mendick Optioned
I hope they monitor waivers/the free agent pool for people who can make starts and extend the rotation down the stretch

Sox playoff bullpen is just disgusting
Why does he scare you?
