caulfield12 Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 (edited) LF Bad CF Bad RF Bad 3B Below Average SS Average to Slightly Below Average this year 1B Below Average C Terrible with Maldonado, at least average with Lee (granted, he had a mistake tonight) Even WITH Robert and Moncada, they're not currently even an average MLB defense. Btw, .265 .812 Ortiz (MIL) Edited May 7 by caulfield12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I won't jinx the team by saying 'Bet.The.House." however you could bet the tractor at least. First I lose my house, now my tractor. What next? Thanks greg. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead, you’ll get to see Soroka and Shuster give up many more runs and Shewmake not score any. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vaughn can make his money being added to the RestoreHair.com billboard roster of Urlacher and Ryne Sandberg. God knows he isn’t going to make much more money in baseball. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldsox Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 (edited) His arb clock started this year. They wouldn't go back there, would they? Edited May 7 by oldsox error Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's not much else to do other than send him down for a couple months and bring him back up late summer and hope he performs then. You can't roster a DH/1B with a 500 OPS. The season is like 1/5th over now and he has a 42 wRC+ as a guy with absolutely zero value elsewhere. Edited May 7 by chitownsportsfan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And we can even extend it lower, Jose Abreu is at .269 and still owed $39 million... With Chourio and Holliday also struggling out of the game, wonder if someone's going to rethink this whole "generational wealth" before ever crossing the lines on a big league field thing. https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/mlb/what-detroit-tigers-rookie-colt-keith-is-doing-to-snap-out-of-career-opening-slump/ar-AA1o0fOj Maybe the White Sox hitters as a collective also need to block X, Facebook and Instagram, lol...

(Ignore the other guys) At the beginning of their careers with the White Sox they were handed a playbook titled "The White Sox Way" and told to read and study it as they would be expected to follow the the rules and play ball the White Sox way.

Soroka is earning $3 million. Shuster is earning $740,000. Shewmake is earning $740,000. That’s a total of $8.8 million in bad money cuz they are all terrible. Try again. More players is not always better, especially when it is more BAD players. Edited May 7 by WhiteSox2023 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not going to argue, but you mentioned 3 players and those 3 players salary is less than Bummers. Do the math. Soroka is earning $3 million. Shuster is earning $740,000. Shewmake is earning $740,000. My point is, I would have traded Bummer for a bag of balls as many others on this site stated. Instead we got back 5 warm bodies which IMO is still better than watching Bummer Sh**t in his pants and blow another lead. Tell me exactly what other offers were out there for Bummer. Do you really think any team would give up a prospect for him? Edited May 7 by A-Train to 35th sp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you really think amy team would give up a prospect for him? Well, I don’t think we should leave out the highest salaried player from the trade, and arguably the worst. I have no idea what the other offers for Bummer were, but it’s not out of the realm of possibility that another team was offering prospect(s). He is also pitching better as of late.
