Whose thinking dp?

haha

Big Energy is one of KW/Hahn's worst ever middle infielder signings, which says a lot

Yep. Welcome to the 2022 Chicago White Sox.

suck a dick harrison

Spend years losing baseball games on purpose, draft someone to be your 2nd basemen of the future, and then trade him away with the plan being to replace him with utility infielders

brilliant strategy all around

Josh Harrison absolutely blows.

this team is no fun.

Madrigal has been terrible and injured this year. 

Edited May 18, 20223 yr by Jack Parkman

Yet Harrison will keep playing until July.  Who's cares about winning . We have to make sure the players are rested for the off-season.

He will never play a full season. Once they realized he wasn't going to be the future dumping him wasn't a bad move.

That wasn't intended as a pro Madrigal post at all

And was obvious as soon as it was announced.

It’s comical he was chosen to play both games today 

In the end the Sox got Pollock for Madrigal and Heuer. I draw a blank when I try to evaluate that.

I think Harrison has become a higher "Eat the money" priority over Kuechel. 

Assuming Old Fuck LaRussa would allow Yolbert to play everyday and also save us from having to see Leury as often as we do. 

We didn't even need VV or Cueto!

Except against the other four divisions with East and West in their titles.

He’d be a fine last man on the bench. He’s over played cause our manager is a dope.

I mean we don't have a starting caliber 2B on the roster.

Said it early in the season, Kimbrel will still end up being the best piece of what turned out to be a 3 way trade.

That's fine, but their plan A at 2nd base has been to go with utility infielders since the trade deadline of last year. First it was Cesar and now it's Josh Harrison. It was immediately evident neither guy is good enough to start on what's supposed to be a WS contender.

I’d far rather see Leury play 2B. 40% of Harrison’s appearances have also been at 3B. But yeah. At this point you kinda have to try Yolbert, even with his slight cool off lately. 

Love listening to Benetti talk about the value teams get from optimized lineup construction or shifts when the Sox manager is Tony LaRussa

I mean who do you play there if Tim Anderson is given the 2nd game off? 

 

Good point, we have no options.  look who we have as IF options in the minors that are on the 40 man roster, Danny Mendick, Romy Gonzalez, and Yermin Mercedes.  

I don't think you could have asked for more from Martin. 5 innings of 1 run ball with 7 Ks. It's a really good debut.
