I don’t think they will get enough for the pieces they have to justify rebuilding again. A rebuild makes more sense when JR passes and the team as sold, but not with this owner and GM. 

They aren't going to rebuild anytime soon. They might trade TA if Montgomery is mashing, but thats a longshot IMO. The thing is, they are right where they were at after 2000, 2005, 2008. Maybe they have a season where all goes right and its 2005 all over again, but anyone thinking the holy triumvirate of JR, KW, RH were capable of building a team with sustained success, wasn't paying attention the last 23 years.

Hahaha of course he goes on the IL. Made the last minute trip to the park for the game and boy is it empty….eeek

Why is everyone piling on the dude for a mild hamstring strain? This isn't a big deal and  everyone here sounds like a dick that only wants to be right.

I still wonder about the potential risks of having a guy sit down all game except a few brief moments where he may need to sprint blast

I still wonder how long it would take before he crashed into Robert and put him on the DL with him if we were to let him play the outfield.

"Mild" depends on your definition though doesn't it. They are saying two/three weeks. I'm guessing if it is three weeks he'll have to go to Charlotte for a few games to get back into playing shape.   

The guy's injury history is a long one, some of it appears to be bad luck, some of it is "baseball-stupidity" (all the injuries crashing into walls) but the fact is he hasn't played in roughly (if I remember a recent story) 40% of potential games.

That's not piling on, those are the facts. 

Jesse Rogers pissed Rick Hahn off last year when he asked if Eloy was injury prone but he wasn't asking the question to be an ass, just look at the record. 

Eloy loses 30 pounds which was great and he STILL gets hurt doing a simple thing like running the bases.

With him (and some others on this team) it is constant. Just another reason why many Sox fans are angry, frustrated and have decided to scale back interest.

Maybe because of this, so far, in his career?:

Ooh wait!  I think I know this one!

Eloy out 2-3 weeks!!

Worried that one day he will randomly start on fire while standing in the on-deck circle.

Send this fucking guy to yoga. How is it possible for an MLB team to be completely incapable of keeping guys from pulling muscles???

Insert Mr. Glass picture here. 

Eloy is a enigma, wrapped in a question mark.

Lip: Not sure how you concluded that White Sox fans have scaled back interest in the White Sox. The 2022 Sox attendance was up over 2020. I will assume with a new Manager, attendance will be up to begin this season as well. 

Are season tickets down over the 2022 season? As a fan, I think a new manager will increase interest with the team to begin a new season  this early . 

What do you base interest scaled back so far this season?

I hope that's a typo.

Pretty sure no season will ever have an attendance figure as low as 2020.

Heartbreaking to see how many of our "fans" literally come with hatred and venom for someone for getting injured.

Jeez, guys. He got fucking injured. You think he wanted to?

Sheets needs to be part of a platoon of a platoon, where he only faces RHP at home.

Interested in which hamstring it is. I can't remember what game it was, I think one of the last 2-3 games. He was running to 1B and he landed kinda funny on the 1B bag with his right leg. 

His what hurts. If it was the same leg as last year, this becomes a more serious issue. If it is the other leg, it becomes a more serious issue.
