July 1, 20214 yr Management: Ricky Renteria Players: Yoan Moncada Admittedly small sample size (joined Sept 2020).
July 1, 20214 yr Author Somebody mentioned Alex Rios in the game thread. Definitely a good choice, since he was actually solid. Rios is definitely the all-time @greg775 whipping boy.

I wasn't around back then, but didn't people also call Jermaine Dye either Princess Dye or Jermaine Died when he had bad games?

July 1, 20214 yr Rob Mackowiak used to get a lot of shit as did Linebrink. Dotel was actually decent but picked the worst time to give up HRs. Edited July 1, 20214 yr by Jack Parkman

July 1, 20214 yr Author Javy was worth 4.7, 4.8 and 4.8 fWAR in his 3 seasons with the White Sox. It's crazy to see that. I remember him as the ultimate choke artist. Edited July 1, 20214 yr by ron883
