right but it's interesting that we were in the mix

Friarbrad had us in the mix for Jon gray

bring castellanos home.

opinions can be different than reporting, but fair. nerds aren't the smartest sometimes

We have major positions of need and only one can seemingly be solved via free agency (right field, second base, starting pitcher (unless we're thinking Kershaw or greinke)). That seems like a problem. Either a problem with use of resources, or lack thereof. Still in the bottom ten of top contracts given out. Plenty of offseason left to work with, but these common themes are annoying

Is it time to stop R-E-L-A-X 'ing yet?

No White Sox

come out to play rick!

Con O For was a 0.8 war player last year

I agree that over the course of their careers conforto has been better defensively, but I was specifically referencing the last year. Overall conforto has proven to be the better defensive player, but last year he wasn't good and defense isn't a valid reason to sign him over schwarber

cali I was referring to Southside2k, not you. You have clearly demonstrated the ability to use the internet

I have to hold your hand through the point of everything don't I? The point is, if you used google and went on to baseball references website, and did a little bit of scrolling and looking at "Standard Fielding", the numbers under Fielding Percentage, RDRS, and RTOT would back up what I have said. It takes all of one minute to do that, while it would take much more time for me to look at all those numbers and do a side by side comparison on sox talk. And I don't care enough about the discussion to do anything remotely close to that. I can tell you are over the age of 35 and don't quite understand the state of the internet, but this is how it works. Do your own research and fact check me if you think I'm wrong (I'm not the numbers are right in front of me) and come here and post about why I'm wrong

hahahahaha I love when you interject

googling or using baseball reference hard for you?

this is sox talk not a murder trial

google is one tab over he's a big boy who can look at the numbers and interpret them himself. I want to hear his opinion on them, not a reflection of mine. Dunce

The general standard fielding numbers that are right there. Im referring to fielding percentage, rtot, rdrs, etc.

In the message you quoted? look at their stats on BR

no excuses for the front office anymore. I've been rough on them, but it's alleviating to finally see what they can do with a top payroll

bref and baseball info. That's understandable, conforto has much more range than schwarber, but we have the best defensive center fielder in the league. Conforto has a complete noodle for an arm. Schwarber can throw guys out. Usually I'm on the side of range, but in the context of our team I think we could live with a guy with limited range. And the defense isn't a good enough reason to argue for conforto over schwarber's hitting ability

baseball reference and baseball info solutions has conforto graded way worse than schwarber

I don't hate con o-for, but I don't see how him being our "prize" (as some have suggested he would be if signed) of the offseason moves us any closer to a championship. Especially because he will most likely be overpaid for what he is.
