caulfield12 Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 (edited) Only 2.1 career fWAR behind Eloy. 5.3 to 3.2 Andrew Vaughn has somehow managed a cumulative -0.5 for his career. Edited January 20 by caulfield12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really can’t see it. I think Lopez is the guy come OD with Sosa, Shoemake, & Popeye eventually pushing him for the spot. That is unless somehow we add Westburg in a Cease trade.

joejoesox Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 3 hours ago, JUSTgottaBELIEVE said: Any Cease implications here? Or completely independent? Adding another $5.5M arm sure seems like they’re still trying to reinforce the pitching side of things for when Cease is traded. these are guys who they might be able to flip at the deadline Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

South Side Hit Men Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 This is already my fourth favorite White Sox team over the past 30 years behind in order 2005, 2020 and 2006. They are underrated, will win 70 plus games assuming Cease is here to start the season, and will be a lot more enjoyable to watch on the field and support on and off the field. Disappointed I haven’t found a sports book here to bet over White Sox wins (62-64), but am trying my final few days. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just think if we calculated WAR based on the actual replacement level of our next guy in line for the Sox. We might have a positive WAR 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A 70 win team isn’t exactly the long term pinnacle I ultimately would like to see. That said, I am happy for: Current players + roster invitees. A new Front Office. Better fundamentals, defense and desire. Being closer to the next championship with Hahn gone; and Jerry + TLR another year closer to being gone. New FO and field management in the organization. It’s not realistic to clean up this toxic mess in a single offseason, especially after what Jerry, Hahn, Kenny and Boyer have done to decimate the fan base over the past 15 years.

Chicago White Sox Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 So with this signing, what do we think the bullpen will look like on OD? My assumption is there are only a handful of locks and there will competition for many spots. CL: Santos SU: Brebbia SU: Leasure MR: Garcia MR: Hill* MR: TBD MR: Drohan* LR: Toussaint Honestly, I’m not even sure I can come up with eight dudes that warrant looks next year. Hopefully that TBD spot is filled by a non-roster invite because the internal options loo rough. And don’t feel good about using Leasure in a high leverage role, but again, the options are limited here. At least Jordan has the stuff needed to be successful in that role.

Barlow probably makes it. edit: especially if Santos misses time. Does anyone even know if he’s hurt? I’ve seen like one person here suggest he may be injured and has no value but I haven’t really seen anything myself.
