QUOTE (MDWhiteSoxFan @ May 20, 2017 -> 10:25 AM) Jose doing the real investigative work for us. You the real MVP My pleasure. Basically every social media post/info people have been using is fake or from an unreliable source unless it's a baseball writer we all know about. To this point, the only concrete social media information there is lies in Robert's Instagram account, on which he has indeed followed a couple White Sox fan pages.

Chicago $27 mil

In case anyone didn't know, the Instagram DM thing was from a "create fake Instagram DM's!" application. The biggest sign is that the messages were at the top of the screen rather than the bottom, which is where they go when a conversation first starts.

QUOTE (flavum @ May 20, 2017 -> 12:00 AM) 18-22 after 40. Probably will be the Sox best quarter of the season. Perhaps the final quarter will be, during which Moncada starts at 2B and hits .330/6/30

Finally!

QUOTE (bmags @ May 19, 2017 -> 08:49 AM) Yeah the Burr I saw captured the anger and disrespect from Burr that propelled it in act II. He was incredible. You're referring to Josh Henry, right? If so, I agree completely.

QUOTE (CWSpalehoseCWS @ May 19, 2017 -> 04:21 PM) Makes sense, the Sox did put him in the leadoff role to start the year. I can't recall if he ever lead off in the minors. I recall him saying this year that he hadn't led off regularly since high school.

"begin" (thread title)

Avisail

Even if he keeps hitting like this, I do think he'll always have value as a defensive wizard in the infield. I thought he could make it as a starter after last year but now he may just be a career super-sub guy.

Leury

Didn't know this thread existed. My parents went to NY (when Lin was still there) and Chi and claimed that ChiHam was better. I went to the Chi one in December and loved it, will be returning in June. Unfortunately, I don't think prices are coming down anytime soon, so going again is definitely pricey, but it's worth it. I don't even like musicals, but I loved this.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 17, 2017 -> 01:44 AM) Two inning saves are never easy. Melky Cabrera Blooper Reel and no hard hit balls...that said, Robertson's never going to be more than an 80-85% conversion guy whose strikeout totals look impressive but who usually implodes bigly when he does struggle. And he is inarguably overpaid to put up those numbers for a non-elite closer. And apparently Renteria felt that Swarzak had been used too much already in recent weeks...so you're left with Ynoa and Holmberg to close out a game against the heart of their line-up. That's why you don't burn your closer in an extra-inning, tie game when you're the road team and a save opportunity could actually present itself.

QUOTE (jamesdiego @ May 16, 2017 -> 11:07 PM) Isn't Sanchez a good enough defender to play 3rd base? I would play him there if the bat keeps up, Saladino as utility. I always thought of Sanchez as a 2B/SS who doesn't have the arm for 3B. Isn't Saladino/Davidson our go-to "non-Frazier" 3B option?

I'd imagine one of Sanchez/Saladino will eventually stay as a backup IF and the other will be traded (probably not for much, but better than nothing)

QUOTE (knightni @ May 10, 2017 -> 10:01 AM) His numbers are DFA-worthy. Maybe they shouldn't play him until June. Is it safe to say that pitchers have figured him out?

QUOTE (ChiSox59 @ May 8, 2017 -> 02:46 PM) Strange. Must be some back story. Figured he'd be up here before too long. Maybe Charlotte didn't let him take his kid in the clubhouse.

QUOTE (Thad Bosley @ May 7, 2017 -> 09:14 AM) Well, if the 20 year-old Adolfo has perhaps turned a corner and is putting himself on a projectable path to a high ceiling MLB career, and if the team is able to sign the 19 year-old Luis Robert, that could be the makings of some kind of outfield a few years down the road. Don't forget 25 year-old Avisail Garcia. That's like, 30 combined future all-star appearances from an outfield. Ridiculous.
