Yeah, I definitely agree there. Singer would've been a mistake. And I'm also not concerned about Madrigal, at least not this early. I just hope he goes into next season with refined mechanics and a more open mind when it comes to taking walks.

Sickels features Sox MiLB relievers
While it's nice to get the recognition, I don't like that he exclusively uses W/L record and ERA for the relievers. Those are probably the two last stats that should be used to judge a reliever, really

I know it doesn't matter, but despite a .197 batting average, Jon India has a higher on base percentage than Madrigal right now. I'm not too high on the pick but not because of his power- rather because he's an on base guy who doesn't want to take walks.

Eloy Jimenez: I'm Ready (Players' Tribune)
For Eloy and the MLBPA, it’s good because it brings more attention to the service time rules and the fact that a player who’s MLB ready is still in AAA
-
Eloy Jimenez: I'm Ready (Players' Tribune)
As has been theorized earlier, that might have been the point- to bring more nationwide attention/anger over Eloy still being in AAA

Just shut him down and hope for offseason improvements

Kopech the latest MLB player with questionable Twitter history
Most of them are 11-14 years old. There’s this really weird segment of 11-14 year old girls on Twitter that obsess over certain actresses and singers. This was their doing

Kopech the latest MLB player with questionable Twitter history
Nothing too bad, relative to Hader and Allen and whomever. He used a gay slur a few times when he was in college and since deleted them

Kopech the latest MLB player with questionable Twitter history
Yeah he was the main guy. Fry was the other, who has also since been exposed on a smaller scale. There aren't any more major ones to my knowledge

Kopech the latest MLB player with questionable Twitter history
These tweets have been well known among Sox fans on Twitter since December of 2016, for what it's worth

Eloy Jimenez: I'm Ready (Players' Tribune)
They wouldn't have him sit around at home for 3 weeks only to call him up and throw him in cold against MLB pitching in mid-late September.

No, I based it on his profile, track record, repertoire, etc.

Not as much as the Twins organization loves him. I can see them signing him back. Also, that would really be waving the white flag on elite FAs given that 3B is the most logical spot we'd have to fill. I don't see us needing a FA outfielder or reliever.

Burr looks solid. I think he can have a long career as an average-slightly above average reliever. A Shawn Kelley kind of career.

Interesting, didn't know that. I guess I can't put myself in his shoes but I feel like he could still be a quality starter for a few seasons
-
8/23 White Sox at Tigers 12:10
Why would he retire at 35 coming off a career year?
-
8/23 White Sox at Tigers 12:10
Jose Rondon is intriguing. That kind of power from a shortstop is rare
-

The opposite actually, in a lot of cases

Pretty cool that we got this guy for money we couldn't use, and now he might even be a major bullpen piece when we're good
-

Buur and Vieira are pretty rested. Maybe we won't need Vieira though.

Castellanos is the new Raburn. Except he's actually good

If anyone needs a day off it's him. LaMarre or Palka can spell him in RF.
