Well it's not like we haven't seen bad relief pitching and a key error before with this organization the past few years.

At least we get to hear what we are missing with Zach Zaidman.

The. Worst.

If Fletcher is only a strong side of a platoon then that is a really awful trade. 

I will wait to see how Mena does in the minors for AZ before shitting on this further

Absolute worst of the worst.  Guy shouldn’t have a job.

An example of why WAR is a joke, expecially concerning 1st basemen. Before the Covid year,  Abreu with over 100 RBIs had a War of like 2.9, and Yolmer Sanchez had a War of like 2.6. 

The next year, the White Sox cut Yolmar to start the season and Abreu went on to win AL MVP.  Abreu's value to the Sox was only a 1/3 of a run more than Yolmer?? What a joke!

It’s called defensive value.  Abreu was mostly a turnstile.  And RBI’s have a lot to do with being in the 3 hole.  Learn baseball.

Which of the Sox players, coaches, and management are you referring to?  There are  quite a few that meet this description.

All of the above, including the Bears/Sox/Cubs ass kisser with no voice, no talent, and no game Zach Zaidman.

I think VileHoopster is right on this one.  War is a useless stat.

Catcher should be Korey Lee and either Maldonado or Stassi.

Lee was fine behind the plate last year; Yea, he batted .100, but that's probably sample-size driven.  I think the Sox can count on him for at least .190 or .200 this season.

Agree. After the Stassi deal, they should have just rolled with him and Lee.

Sadly, Chris Getz selected the Maldonado box.
