March 22, 20242 yr I am starting to think someone needs to take Chris Getz aside and introduce him to the concept of counting to 40.

March 22, 20242 yr Doing everything they can to not see Gavin Sheets in the OF or on this roster. I love it.

March 22, 20242 yr Getz signing all these veteran depth guys now who would have been useful to the contending Sox teams of previous years is the new Kenny signing washed up former all stars/future hall of famers.

March 22, 20242 yr Career .725 OPS, so not horrible, but also not anything to celebrate. I don’t really get it, but they have committed to dumpster diving for nearly washed up marginal players, so it is on brand.
March 22, 20242 yr wasn't one of the biggest complaints about last season that there was no minor league depth? every major league team will deal with injuries and the White Sox were historically bad last season in terms of their call-ups. I'm reminded of this fangraphs article which shows that the Sox opening day roster compiled over 100% of the team's total WAR. as in, the call-ups and trade acquisitions produced negative WAR. with that in mind, I don't see how it could be viewed as a bad thing for a team to sign a player to a minor league deal who hit .730ish OPS and 10 homers last season. it's sort of like, why wouldn't you do that?
March 22, 20242 yr We would have the greatest bench of all time if it was 2019. Instead, we are starting most of these relics a year or so after most of them should’ve retired.

Part of the problem with many of these guys is that if you don't call them up early in the year, they're likely to ask for and be granted their release. The White Sox are such a mess that right now Grossman has a decent shot at a starting OF spot, but you can't call up all of the guys they've signed, there's not enough space for them. Where are they actually playing these guys, how do you decide in the next 7 days if Robbie Grossman is ready to go?
March 22, 20242 yr I wanted this dude in 2021. And he would have been a good signing. Better than the ghost of Adam Eaton

Well Moose and Pillar were just released and I would bet Grossman is going to Charlotte for the reasons you just gave.
