March 29, 20224 yr 2 hours ago, bmags said: one of the reasons they have no OF depth is because Haseley was part of their depth and he sucks. Anyway look forward to Phillies signing conforto in an hour. As a rookie in 2019 he led all PHilly outfielders with 13 defensive runs saved despite making just 59 starts. I'll take the defense, plus he's a lefty. Everyone hoping it was Kimbrel in return is crazy, relievers/closers fail all the time and some team (LA) will be looking for one once the season gets going. Hopefully Kimbrel will be decent in his set-up role and attract some teams attention who is desperate for a closer. Patience people.

March 29, 20224 yr I'd have to say I'm about as excited as when we got Ryan Goins....and I wasn't that excited then.

The SOX went for it last year and were all in spending the money to sign without question one of the top, if not the top reliever in the NL at the time of the trade. This was going to be our WS ticket, it's not Managements fault for trying to put the Sox over the top. Blame Kimbrel.

He runs like he's in cement compared to 2019 and hits for toddler power. Our right handed hitters can slam grounders off right handed pitching just fine already.

March 29, 20224 yr You know who was better than Adam Haseley? Luis Gonzalez, our 6th outfielder last year who is know on the Giants and was actually able to play a good center field.

I think we need defense and situational hitting, we have enough power. nobody has enough power and just because someone sucks at hitting for power doesn't make them some whizz at getting situational hits. I know we all loved mark kotsay hitting grounders to second base every time up, but at least he wasn't hitting doubles. That would have really set them back.

So if the Sox wanted him back, they could easily have done that.

Must be upgrading from him and Engel? Edited March 29, 20224 yr by Chick Mercedes
March 29, 20224 yr Just now, Chick Mercedes said: OOF. And probably says all we want to hear about Mr Adolfo Eh let's cut him some slack. Adolfo had a rough comeback after his TJS in 2019, then the pandemic happened with no minors so he started in Birmingham to start the year where he crushed 18 home runs, then went to charlotte where we thought he'd have a 50% k rate, and instead kept hitting dingers but actually cut down on his krate from birmingham (still at 32%). Problem is he isn't a versatile outfielder, but I'm sure sox would say now it's 3 deep at CF for Robert > Engel > Leury. But all 3 of them have injury issues.

The Giants keep claiming and releasing White Sox outfielders named Luis, hoping one day Rick Hahn's phone auto completes the sentence in a horrific manner for White Sox fans.

God I hope Nick doesnt turn into a pint size Sammy Sosa Nick Madrigal roiding up and hitting 600 homers and ruining Norge Vera's perfect game with a walk (only to get picked off) is the dankest timeline.
