I'd rather just have Beltran as manager over the combo.

TIFWIW, but going from an old manager with heart problems to a slightly younger manager with heart problems seems problematic no?

Yeah that's right. The teams with the same record with different odds are based on how they finished and probably just general math to have the odds equal to 100. Tiebreaker is based on record last year. That's how the Sox jumped the Giants for the 15th slot since SF had a better record in 21.

Hahn getting laughed at for acquiring Eloy and Cease for Q seems like the wrong reason to laugh at Hahn. There are plenty of other and way more valid reasons for Hahn to be laughed at.

The lottery only affects the first round, goes by record after that. Playoff teams are placed in draft as they lose. https://www.mlb.com/news/2023-mlb-draft-lottery-odds

With the Sox loss and Giants win today, the Sox end the season in the 15th pick position for the lottery. Smack dab in the middle, quite fitting for the team if you ask me. Simmed about 20-30 lotteries on Tankathon before winning.

People got off the juice and greenies and aging took over.

JR has conditioned the masses well over the decades, so many pining for Ozzie or AJP over new voices with outside influence makes me a sad panda.

Luis Reyes is the only player on this list that the White Sox are connected to. Jun-Seok Shim (#10) isn't linked to anyone at the moment FWIW

Exactly. The White Sox are the "Hold my beer" meme of the MLB.

We're most likely going to re-up, but our group is pissed off at what happened this year. Assuming we do re-up, we'll definitely be reducing our total number of tix, but that's based on a couple members in our group moving out of state. I think a lot depends on the managerial search and how they approach the off-season. If they're going to cheap out again, we'll do the same and just grab tix off the secondary for games we want to go to for a cheaper price point than the primary market.

The fact that they kept running him out there out of pure desperation for weeks while he was clearly injured, hurting himself and the team, was laughable and would be grounds for firing by 29 other orgs.

They lottery picks are determined from the pool of all non-playoff teams.

Colás finished 4-5, positive early returns in AAA so far.

Max Clark, come on down!

Keywords here. We all know what (who) we're dealing with so we all expect minimal change to happen based off previous history.

He does speak English.

I'm a big fan of the pitch clock. I just hit the NC affiliates this week and the pace of play was (obviously) notably faster and way more efficient.

Yeah I'll be quite interested to see how his stuff (hopefully) plays in B'ham next season.

I'm at the Winston game and he was impressive. Stuff definitely not overpowering, FB sitting at 89 on the gun here, but was mixing his pitches well and seemed to do a decent job of hiding the ball in his delivery.

Their season wrapped up last Tuesday along with the ACL. Both didn't make the playoffs.
