GT: Sox @ Guardians Game 2: Lambert vs. McKenzie
Jose Abreu replied to ChiSox59's topic in 2022 Season in Review
Not to mention it was announced at 11 AM (during pre-game interviews) that Haseley, Garcia, Mendick, and Harrison were starting the second game -
In fact, he said pretty much the exact opposite

Offseason Part 3 - Because Part 2 Was a Dud
Jose Abreu replied to CentralChamps21's topic in Pale Hose Talk
Tampa? They've been looking for left-handed power (despite dangling Meadows) and made a surprisingly good offer to Freeman -

Jose Abreu replied to CentralChamps21's topic in Pale Hose Talk
The Thome comment made me curious, so I checked. Since 2006 (minimum 250 PAs), the 3 best offensive seasons (wRC+) by a White Sox non-Thome left-handed hitter are held by... Omar Narvaez, Adam Eaton, and AJ Pierzynski -

Yup, although I still don't think that mattered for the Sox. Atlanta won the World Series, and they, too, were under .500 against winning teams in the regular season. Obviously the Sox still had many areas to improve upon, and didn't improve any of them over the offseason, but I hesitate to point to their regular season performance against good teams as an important indicator given Atlanta's run -

If anything, I see Andrew Vaughn starting in RF as more akin to a 6'4 Javonte Green starting at power forward for most of the 2022 Bulls' season. Both good players that serve a purpose, but just aren't capable of fulfilling the role they're being placed in -

If he goes down, maybe they try Abreu out there tomorrow -

Jose Abreu replied to CentralChamps21's topic in Pale Hose Talk
The option years were 2/18, so I guess one way to look at it is a 3/58 extension on top of guaranteeing those years. But man, that's still cheap for his production -

Problem is, you sign one of those guys and next thing you know, Tony has named him the everyday RF -
It's wishful thinking — I believe he is the only White Sox player remaining (Engel and Lopez settled) as arbitration eligible. We've seen a couple extensions across the league this week. I don't think and never did think we're signing Conforto, so maybe, just maybe, they're working on something with Giolito to make this offseason at least somewhat redeemable

Lucas Giolito and the White Sox agree to a contract extension

3/22 Spring training game vs MIL
Jose Abreu replied to southsider2k5's topic in 2022 Season in Review
Love to see most/all of the regulars in, but hate 5 righties in a row and the best OBP guy hitting directly in front of Leury and Harrison -

I agree about front offices and agents negotiating through the media, I just struggle to see how Levine apparently mentioning (on a random afternoon show that none of us actually heard on our own, I should add) that the Sox aren't looking for a RF upgrade is an example of it. Even if you're correct that it's not about the specific example, but the Sox wanting to have a united front on not needing an upgrade, you'd think that Boras would know their interest level or lack thereof by now. -

I don't get it. Scott Boras is eagerly tuning into 670 The Score and punching air when he hears Levine say the Sox aren't looking to upgrade in RF? -

I'll be pleasantly surprised if he gets <400 (474 last year) -

Jose Abreu replied to CentralChamps21's topic in Pale Hose Talk
That's my hunch. And maybe it's just the initial shock of the move, but a Montas-Gray-Ryan top 3 is probably good enough to get a lineup with Correa, Buxton, Polanco, Urshela, Sanchez, Kiriloff, and Kepler into the (expanded) playoffs -

I'm not a Royce Lewis fan but I'm sure he could headline a package for a decent starter -

I don't see why the Dodgers would do this but I'd love it -

Didn't hear it myself, but someone in a Twitter chat I'm in mentioned (before the tweet was posted) that they heard on ESPN radio that the Sox have 3 offers for Kimbrel. Then a quick search showed that this guy heard it too -
Offseason Part 2 - Lets the Rumors & Action Begin
Jose Abreu replied to Chisoxfn's topic in Pale Hose Talk
I guess it depends on the SP. And I believe that Joc is going to have a bounce back year while Sheets is unlikely to maintain his 2021 performance, but I understand the opposite argument -

He was my ideal 2B fit before the Harrison signing. Can't wait to see him get traded to another contender for a lottery ticket or cash -

Jose Abreu replied to Chisoxfn's topic in Pale Hose Talk
If it means we get a real SP upgrade, trading Sheets and then signing Joc would be a good move
