Yeah...development years for players are going to look very different in our contending phase....definitely not as long of a leash as during the rebuild

Who's your FA choice?

Thank you. I needed someone to tell me this.

Guys...I just think it's amazing that...whatever you think about where the Sox stand or how they match up...WE ARE HAVING FREAKING CONVERSATIONS ABOUT THE CHICAGO WHITE SOX IN THE PLAYOFFS. Oh my soul, how long it has been ??? This will literally be the first time in my adult life I will see the Sox in the postseason. I'm 26. AND I CAN'T EVEN FRICKIN BE THERE ???

Yes, finally able to watch a full game. Nice W. Keep it up boys. Should get some cushion on Cleveland tonight.

Man I miss the crowds

Yolmer nice

Have you been watching these games? Im not talking about that errant throw when he was playing first yesterday. Grandal drops like 2-4 pitches every game at catcher. Seems like he gets lazy sometimes on pitches in the dirt and has bad form. The biggest argument I've heard is Grandal is amazing at framing, but it's obvious McCann has worked hard at improved his framing this offseason. McCann also calls better games behind the plate.

Put him in RF. Put him at DH. Put him at C. Put him wherever, but his bat needs to be in the lineup right now. Especially in this pennant race. At the very least, McCann needs to be primary over EE.

I don't care what anyone says. Sox need to figure out how to keep McCann on this team moving forward. Pay him like a starter even if he plays half the games. He needs to be here. He is vastly underrated and I believe he is one of the main reasons they are in first place right now.

JAMES MCCANN IS BETTER THAN YASMANI GRANDAAAAALLLLLL

Love Madrigal. Dude needs to smile more though haha

And I will. 2020, McCann is definitely the better player

Mazara needs to go bye bye

JAMES MCCANN IS BETTER THAN YASMANI GRANDAL. I'm one of those fans, and I'll scream that until the cows come home.

Except defense (specifically catching the baseball)...which is like the most important part of the job of the...catcher. McCann is superior is defensive ability to Grandal.

Literally at first glance thought the title of this thread said "McCann vs Grandal-Who would you do?" ???

What a glass house. If it's not one thing it's another. This has to be unbelievably frustrating for him.

Do we know if Rodon has an expected return date yet?

While I'd like to hope Mazara is going to turn it around soon, I hope after a couple more days of him grounding out to 2nd and striking out would warrant a "Nomar Mazara optioned to Schaumburg, Andrew Vaughn called up to play RF because he can" thread.

What i was thinking. He had so much potential when he first came here. He had an upper 90s fastball, his curve was just a hammer as the other poster mentioned, and if I remember correctly he had a fantastic straight change as his primary offspeed/putaway pitch. I wonder what happened.

Hopefully they resign James McCann. I think he needs to be a bigger priority than what people are saying he will actually be. Figure it out, he's a major reason this team is where it is.

How did that pop out of the glove?

Amazing isn't it? I would say that being on a team that actially wins probably makes a difference in focus on the field for him...

Geeze that umpire almost poked EE's eye out as he called his swinging strike.
