Ofcourse, prolly early 2023 if he keeps developing once they secure the extra year.

Maybe better posted in the Spring Training thread. This thread is pretty much locked into rants about the off-season moves, or lack thereof at the MLB level. Rants not especially over the top - but still rants.

Angels. I missed Joc's signing with the Giants. Not exactly headline news.

Also thinks Adolfo has a real shot at making the team 

Leury Garcia is going to be the every day RF. 

How was Conforto a pipedream, he's not even signed.

Which takes PA's away from Vaughn/Sheets. That darn Vaughn. lol

On Leury - Ya think? Maybe so, if TLR keeps the halo on him.
I'd say Stone was saying that the signing of Conforto was a pipedream.

Can probably rule out the Vaughn for Marte dream some people on here had this off-season

Dunning is getting a lot of hype down in Texas.

He would be a good get, but not for Vaughn. I don't keep up with the D-Backs, but never saw much to indicate they were shopping him for much short of a boatload of prospects.

Fuck Steve Stone…I love him as an announcer, but the dude is the absolute worst on Twitter.

Reasons why I don't follow him.

I'll take Manaea rather than nothing.

Someone should mail him some kneepads. He could use it for how often he sucks ownership/FO off. I get that it's his job but it still pisses me off. And the smugness and attitude is disgusting.

Yep, he’s an arrogant prick.  This behavior also seeps into the booth and has made me like him less as an announcer as well.  His opinion is not the end all be all, and is not more important than reality.  Sometimes he just needs to shut his mouth, especially when it comes to trashing his own players and insulting his own fans.

LMAO. 

Why, cause he's a realist?

Truth hurts pal

From the lockout to the off-season I couldn’t be less excited for a playoff bound team, they really fucked up.

Exactly…if you got to carry that water, at least cut the smugness and arrogance.  He can be a real dick to people who ask very innocent questions, which is very strange.  Like Scott Merkin would never dare talk to his customer base the way Stone Pony does.

This is complete lunacy. 

Easily the most anticipated White Sox season since 2006.

Not because of his view on Conforto, just the way he communicates on Twitter.  Have you seen his tweets before?  Just a real smugness to him.  Like I said, I like him as announcer.
