Are the #WhiteSox gearing up for a run at Manny Machado this winter? #MLBNHotStove https://t.co/IAbyiE5TwM

Same reason after 2017 season that alot of people on here wanted yolmer playing everyday. Plays decent for a bit but then gets to play more and shows not everyday player.

Congrats on being a moo with the rest

First of you said you don't want hahn spending the money. Well he is so you are just going to have to deal with it. I like how alot of people try to put what hahn did in the past as all on him and he would have been fired for his actions. You guys do realize he has bosses and has to get the ok to sign guys. When you have a limit of how much you can spend then you are limited to what you can buy. Again still has to pass Jerry's ok. Hahn wanted to do a rebuild before but someone got an idea to try to compete with a hand full of good players, one of the worst farm systems in the game and a limited budget to use. I'm still giving hahn a pass cause he finally was given full reign to actually go through the rebuild and start from scratch of one of the best farm systems in baseball plus a ton of money to insert player where needed. Now you get to see if he can put together a winning club or not. Sox may have a fair shake but at the end of the day money talks. Sox will have plenty to go around. I'm sure they are going to do their due diligence but the question will be can they close on it.

So then who do you want spending that money cause hahn is the gm? Still probably has to go through kenny and Jerry to get the OKs. Hahn was finally given the chance to rebuild and will see it somewhat through to see how it goes so with that he has to spend money filling in areas. If you don't want him spending the money then you might need to adopt another team cause he going to

FWIW Luis said he feels good. Fingers ‘ crossed that he’s in the lineup sooner rather than later.

So is Mike trout fools gold too because his team wasn't close to making the playoffs?

Robert is supposed to play in Arizona Fall League to help make up the time he missed this year. Should hopefully help.

Still sox want him to see AAA "At the lower levels, it’s maybe more mechanical, approached based," Hahn said. "At the higher level, it's more about the interaction between the pitcher and the hitter and what the scouting report has on you ... how you're getting pitched and how you need to adjust to their adjustments. "The speed of the game, the way hitters react to the pitchers, the way pitchers adjust to the hitters, the scrutiny, the grind ... until the individual player has answered the questions we have for them, they're going to remain there." https://670thescore.radio.com/white-sox-prospect-eloy-jimenez-slugging-embracing-details-minor-leagues

From what I've read sox will want him in AAA at some point because of the pitching at that level. AAA is the bubble for pitchers going to the majors or pitchers that have pitched in the majors that can't get a spot at the major league roster or old major league pitchers that are filler cause they can't keep a spot on the major league roster. The Sox said that major league experience pitchers are going to pitch him differently cause they've been in the majors. They want him to see that kind of pitching before bringing up to the big leagues so he might have more of an idea on what pitchers will try to do to him

Jon Heyman https://www.fanragsports.com/white-sox/heyman-could-white-sox-be-dark-horse-for-machado/ "One rival GM suggested he believes the Chicago White Sox could be a “dark horse” candidate to sign star infielder Manny Machado."

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Apr 15, 2018 -> 01:16 PM) Yeah, I believe the whole point of him DHing is the alternative to surgery, and said surgery would only occur if something goes wrong with the natural healing process Him DHing is to get him at bats and not lose more playing time. Best case scenario is elbow will heal with out surgery is what they are hoping but he could still need it which would put him out 8 to 9 months. That's why he's DHing is to get him as many at bats as possible https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.mlb.com/26...-scare.amp.html
