Meadows should have hit into a double play there. Abreu is like a fucking statue

He blooped it into right. Let’s not get carried away here.

So the speculation that his arm was going be amputated was premature? Shocking.

Yeah, the White Sox should make trades for rental backup players this year. Great idea.

Didn't they use an option when they sent him to Charlotte after Spring Training and thus they can send him up and down as often as they want without using further options? edit: never mind

You would have to be mentally challenged to hate on Bummer last year. He was extremely unlucky and every stat in the world screamed that he is a good reliever.

Yeah, 300 game winners like Roger Clemens and Randy Johnson are still waiting to be signed. But Jerry is too damn cheap to do so. SMDH

I think you are all overthinking it. I am willing to eat crow, but I think Reed will be gone by September.

I guess you didn‘t get the memo: Nobody at AA is a prospect anymore because they had slow starts. Might as well release Sheets and Rutherford.

Outside of Semien who developed nicely. I don‘t lose sleep over the other guys. Sox got a comp pick out of the deal as well.

Jon Jay weakly grounding out to the right side gives me Mark Kotsay flashbacks

Three lasers from McCann tonight

Bummer is an elite reliever. He has averaged a 2.80 FIP over the last 18 months. He just doesn‘t have the name recognition of other guys, no way am I packaging him and Colome for „only“ a top 50ish prospect.

Let me just chime in that I always appreciate your perspective Lillian and that you are an asset to the community here.

Oh and btw give me one 6 WAR player like Sale over three 2 WAR players any day of the week.

Tim Anderson, Carlos Rodon and even Gordon Beckham accumulated each more WAR than your average first rounder.

If you go by career WAR per first round pick over the last decade or so the White Sox aren't looking bad. Every team has first rounders who never amount to anything.

I am not saying Skole is something who should be in the majors. I just disagreed with the premise of that blurb of Reed being first in line for eventual at bats because of his status as former top prospect since he has a worse OPS than Adam Engel in AAA.

I agree, Ìt‘s not like he was setting the world on fire in AAA. Guys who actually produced in the minors like Skole or Mercedes deserve a shot before him or you might as well tell the guys in the minors that your performance, unless you are a high draft pick, doesn‘t matter.

Petco Park is a neutral park, it even slightly tends to be more of a hitters park.

I am not saying Moncada should be in the MVP conversation this year, I just wanted to say that thew votes look for excuses not to vote for Trout.

The votesr do seemingly look for anyone else than Trout to vote for though. Dude should have won 6 MVPs already.

If he is able to catch in a pinch in case of injury or whatever that itself is valuable enough for me. Plus, I root for people like Yermin to make it to the show. He played in the minors for 8 years, made numerous trips to winter ball and had to go to independent ball, so him making it would be awesome.

Hopefully the Sox are yearning for Yermin as well.
