May 2, 20232 yr I’m assuming Yoan is going to the 60, because he needs to be added to the 40-man. Sosa was officially sent down according to the transaction page.
May 2, 20232 yr I have no problem with adding some life to this team. It would be disappointing yet not surprising if Moncada goes on the 60-day.

May 2, 20232 yr Only the White Sox organization can say with a straight face to their fanbase that they are promoting washed up AAAA asset Billy Hamilton to the major league roster in the same breath that they also say with a straight face that they are still trying to breathe life into a team to compete for the playoffs and remain in the conversation as being one of the premier AL teams. Either they are too dumb to know how bad at this they are, or they are just that sociopathic towards their fanbase. I honestly can’t decide which these days.
May 2, 20232 yr Promotion of Billy could significantly reduce the likelihood of gong show fielding plays in the late innings perhaps...
May 2, 20232 yr Sosa was optioned yesterday but I haven't seen that posted here yet. https://www.mlb.com/whitesox/roster/transactions
May 2, 20232 yr Since the end of the 2018 season, over the last 4 seasons, Billy Hamilton has a combined 549 PAs. He has 91 hits, 10 doubles, 3 triples, 2 home runs over those 4 seasons combined. I get the late speed threat, but keeping a guy on the team to just steal bases when you can’t and shouldn’t win games anyway makes no sense. Billy Hamilton literally adds no future value to this organization whatsoever. He’s just another schlub who plays one aspect of baseball well enough to have had a middling career like so many other schlubs we have had before.

Defense means nothing when the team is already out. Who cares about fielding at this point? This season is over. I don’t even care if Eloy gets hurt. Let them play and sink or swim. We need to find out what these men can do that we have invested so much in. If the gong show happens, let them lose by 11. A better draft pick is what we want anyway.
May 2, 20232 yr We're not even changing out deck chairs on the titanic, we're changing out urinal pads.
May 2, 20232 yr This is going to be a really low bar, but this is where we are at unfortunately: at least he can catch the ball ?♂️ Edited May 2, 20232 yr by Bob Sacamano
May 2, 20232 yr Hahn: Jerry, they are getting upset about your comments. Jerry: Call up Hamilton, they will say hes "good vibes" and it will distract them.

May 2, 20232 yr So Colas and Sosa sent down, Anderson. Colome, Alberto, Hamilton and Sammy Peralta added. Kelly after 1 or 2 appearances since he got off the IL now on paternity leave. Romy Gonzalez IL Diekman and Frank German DFAs

German was dfa’d and I believe they already had a spot open on 40 man. That transaction would have to have been done before adding anyone to it, if it were necessary

May 2, 20232 yr Hamilton and Colome huh? Well what the hell, can't just stand pat with this record. Dammed if you do damned if you don't. Edited May 2, 20232 yr by soxrwhite

May 3, 20232 yr With my favorite player Jose Abreu gone, it's nice to have Billy Hamilton back in the mix as my 2023 favorite White Sox Player.
