Sox acquire Lance Lynn for Dane Dunning and Avery Weems
Does this mean we're keeping Stiever for the near future?

Earl Weaver is spinning in his grave right now.

This trade will be better if we sign 2-3 FA's. Joc, Odorizzi and Colome.

My brother moved to NC a while ago. Did you grow up in Aurora?

that's because he can't trade with the White Sox.

RIP Dick Allen
He pitched 1100+ innings in three years and his numbers went down a bit in 74-75. His busted knee cap ruined his career. I wonder what would have happened in 1977 if Ron Leflore had hit that ball 6 inches to the left. The Royals were really good though.

RIP Dick Allen
Had arguably the best year any WS player has ever had. I was watching on TV the day he hit 2 inside the park homers in one game. He and Wilbur Wood were the sports idols of my childhood. RIP.

2021 Hall of Fame Ballot
Ty Cobb didn't make better players sit so he could chase a record. Just to be clear, PR career OBP .375 SP .409 Average defender. Played rotten defense at 3rd. His skill was durability. IMHO .784OPS and average defense doesn't compute to super star. If Rickey Henderson was on the 1970's Reds instead of PR,they would have won 4-5 titles.

2021 Hall of Fame Ballot
A lot of god posts here. Bonds and Clemens Were first ballot guys until they got greedy. The fact that they are both assholes will keep them out for a long time. Buehrle sure has a high WAR. He's way more deserving than Baines was. The one guy who puzzles me with a high WAR is Pete Rose. To me he was a really good player, but not great. His last 1,200 hits came at the expense of better players sitting on the bench. Also his MVP and gold glove awards are almost comical. Hell, he wasn't even the best player on his own team his MVP season. Just one mans opinion.

2021 Ticket Prices Increasing?
Some one has to pay for TLR"s chauffer.

Theo Epstein Resigns; Hoyer Stays
Is this true? The Sox were purchased for 12 million in 1980. JR only plunked down 500,000?

TLR may or may not be a racist. It's well known he is a douche bag.

Offseason Targets
WSox spent 4.3 million for 5 WAR at the toughest role to fill in baseball. One of the best FA signings in a long time. That's why some people speak so highly about James McCann. Count me as one who will miss him when he's gone. I honestly don't knw if he will continue that pace, or regress to the mean. JM definitely hits to right a lot more now than when he was a tiger though.

what kind of money would JocP command? Seems like if he plays less, he becomes worse. Dump Mazara for Joc and play Engel late in games. If Pederson got 500 pa's in our park, he might hit 30 homers. He walks enough to keep his OBA in the .330's as well. might be worth 3 yr.x8.

La Russa arrested for DUI in Feb; charged day before hire
A few years ago I saw Machado hit his 3 dingers in 3 innings from behind 1st base. Up until now it was my worst day for being a Sox fan.

Rick Hahn made a string of moves in the last 3 years that look very good. His next move should be to resign from the White Sox. If he wants to stay in baseball, I'm sure he would have many opportunities. Being overruled by JR can't be fun. Before that it seemed he would be overruled by KW. The 2 times I remember are the Semien ,Bassitt trade(kids for vet) and the Shields fiasco(kid for vet). Both looked like KW moves to me.

2 DUI's is too many. I hope he has the decency to resign.

I'm all for the Sox taking a flyer on Chris Archer if its not too expensive. Should be healthy again and probably better than 2018. I would imagine numbness in his fingers had to affect his command. He would probably want to play for the Sox if all else is equal.
