Good start to that inning and love Oscar's hustle in stealing second but some rotten at bats that half inning especially Grandal. My gosh he has been a lousy hitter since joining the Sox.

He was a lot more fun on a league minimum deal wasn’t he?

Starting to think the Sox squeezed the last good baseball out of his career like what happened with Cueto

Can’t wait for that contract to expire 

For Perez/Zavala...?  At least the Sox will keep cutting payroll, there's that.

 

Colas continues to show the ability to hit to all fields...and energy on the basepaths.

I'm still happy we did the Grandal deal...we targeted the top choice at a position and spent the money.

It was the right move. No question about it.

So happy they yet again went into the season without addressing the black hole at second.

In my dreams, they worked out an Eloy/Jazz deal.

Not for 1-2 more years than any other team was willing to give...that was the centerpiece addition of "the money will bring spent," along with the Lance Lynn extension and Hendriks.

Now Benintendi.

Three complementary players at this stage in their careers. And Liam.

Iguchi in 2005 was the last White Sox 2nd baseman to go above 2 fWAR in a season lmao

Having 29 opponents is too many. No need.

The Marlins were never going to fall for that...they already have Avi and Soler, lol.

People would have been outraged at how much more the Sox would have needed to add, unfortunately.

I don't even miss Eloy anymore. Out of sight again I've given up on him. (Unsolicited commentary by me).

-- Timmy is one, good baseball player.

Everything's setting up for TA to have a career year.

Please just stay healthy.

Montgomery would have been the additional ask...they're pretty much building their future around Chisholm being a star.

It's about time to start playing Romy more often at 2nd. I'm actually optimistic either Romy or Lenyn will be decent at 2B this season.

It seems he's learned how to take more balls. If he learns to walk, goodness. 

Also means the Sox won't be able to afford him.

Just makes him more unaffordable unfortunately. Though I think if there is one player this team does pay itll be TA

Benintendi!

 

Just a nice RBI single! Thought those might have been impossible.

So we can eventually part ways with him...just like Rodon?

That's going to be the sad part...because TA won't give another team-friendly deal to anyone.  He wants to get paid.

I agree with ron. I'm still fine with Andrus at second....for now. But I don't have an extremely long leash for him because he might be cooked.

Like that grifol is being aggresive

As much as I enjoyed that stolen base, that one took some cooperation from the Pirates and I don't need to see him steal much

I think Sosa's time is coming at some point this year, but there is no reason to make the switch yet

edit: nvm, thought they were the Chinese new year 12s
