.350 career OBA. 95 walks in 2018. Was hitting HR's in Cleveland probably out of necessity. Different teams have different needs some times. He sure looks like a guy who will do what is needed.

One guy who could provide depth at SP is Kade McClure. He's getting close to being ready for MLB. Lost a year with a leg injury, but is putting it together at Birmingham. His numbers aren't that impressive at first glance, but has pitched very well for the last two months or so. Good fastball, good slurve and working on the change up. Could fight it out with Jimmy lambert for 6th starter next year. Might be more than that in 2023.

Shocked to see Reyno is still only 27 years old. Lots of good relievers are failed starters. Usually it means the guy can only throw 1-2 pitches for strikes with any consistency. As a starter, if one of those pitches isn't working you get creamed.

the Rickey Henderson of bunting!

I wonder if the Sox made this trade because of Hendricks soul crushing homer on Wednesday. He really is a moron. Heck of a good arm but too stupid or stubborn to adjust to the situation at hand.

Some one tell Liam to cool it with the macho shit. If a guy owns you, he owns you. Don't "challenge" him every time. Hendricks is a dumb ass.

The Astros vs. White Sox paradigm has shifted 180 degrees. These 2 wins and the Lynn signing has really made for a great week end.

Kopech is 1st guy outta the pen!

as always!

Jeff Kent was a big slugging 2B. Maybe Burger could cover enough ground there to be passable in the short term. He's got soft hands and a good arm too.

Burger boy is playing 3B today.

Don't forget the "and die" part.

Sheets may be traded, but Burger looks so athletically smooth in his swing and the way he runs. He is the real deal. Sheets look a bit mechanical.

sneak in a salami sandwich and a half pint in your pants.

maybe they will just release him tomorrow.

I wouldn't mind a platoon of Engel and Goodwin for a year in RF. The thought of Vaughn playing LF next year is acceptable as well. We've got Cespedes and Colas coming, hopefully by 2023. The one wild card in all this could be Yoan, If he would accept a move to the outfield for the good of the team.. Burger could then slide in at 3B. Luckily the Sox are young. This will help while we rebuild the system. One last thing we have going for us, is the Cuban connection. We do better than just about any body there. It acts as a draft supplement every couple of years.

Sox have done as well as anybody with their high picks for a long time now. I'm inclined to trust them on a fairly low 1st rounder.

I wonder if the Sox are thinking about Alex Colome? He's righted the ship and could help a lot. His cost would be next to nothing.

Draft and follow.

Burger looks more athletic than I thought he'd be. He runs OK too.

Sorry, my spelling is horrocious!

Whose rpm drop? Lucas gets it done with speed differential. In case you haven't noticed, he's been up and down all year. Long before the cheaters rpm dropped, Lucas was struggling with release point. He's actually pitched better lately.

It's a shame Yoan is so much better at 3B than 2B. That line up with Burger at third and the return of LR & Eloy would be something to watch.
