Homer here and fuck up this ump Yoan

We're missing some cutters right down the pipe.

I don't see how selling two players that don't really have a spot on this team as hurting season 2 or 3. Burger is never going to replace Yoan at 3rd base. 

Oh I have no problem moving those guys. I am thinking more pieces like Kelley. If you could get Frazier for Sheets, Burger, and Adolfo, I would say go to town. I wouldn’t do that deal if I were Pitt.

Because they’re two of our best trade chips.  If you move them, you better get something in return that can help beyond the 2021 season.

Frazier certainly can.

Oh well there we are in agreement. I'm not a fan of moving Kelley.

Abreu's been incredibly sloppy today

He did not even know that he had walked.  His throw to the plate was crap.  He does not look focused tonight.

Billy Hamilton's limited exposure goes a long ways.

If Kelley were in another system I don't think there's a ton of excitement around him. Eric Longenhagen was not kind in discussing what scouts that have seen Kelley told him. Sounds like the scouting reports wouldn't be strong and that's to go with very poor results. He also dealt with an injury. I wouldn't let him stand in the way of acquiring a player like Adam Frazier.

Since you clicked laugh on my post, will you say that you think Adolfo, Sheets, and Burger is an overpay for Frazier?

@fathom - Why do you love Frazier but hate Madrigal?

I am not including Sheets in that trade. We may have have a big LH bat,,,,the kind of guy the Sox have wanted for years. I want to see more of Sheets before I give up on him.

If it was almost straight up, yeah I would do That, but I don’t like giving up the deep minor league pieces as small parts of a bigger deal.

I don't love Frazier.  Seen a ton of him when watching Pirates vs Cubs.  Tough out but not a huge difference maker.  Reynolds is the one you give up the world for, but sounds like he's not available.

Do you actually believe that? I have watched most White Sox and there have been many bad running plays. Quite a few by Madrigal who is out now as well as Moncada. If the Sox are the best running team every other team really sucks big time!

Ruiz's change up is basically just a slower fastball. It barely moves. 

Said “ohhhh shit” loudly at the sound off the bat.

I'm gonna guess Ruiz isn't a two inning reliever

That Yoan fuckup cost us 2 runs. 

he did fuck up... but he turns around to go back to touch the plate - but then he sees the ump wave safe and is like -okay

That seemed longer than 413. Must have been a big arc.

Sadly the Brewers offense is terrible but it sure doesn't look like it this series.

They were scoring 2 or 3 runs against the fucking Royals.
