And no changes, truly amazing 

My guy Tommy Pham appears to have holes in his bat suddenly. Alas he also prolly has lost interest.

X-rays negative for Sheets.  He’s day-to-day so still tradable for some team’s 25 year old single A ball player.

What happened? Soft tissue or did he get nailed in the elbow with a pitch or something?

If it's X Rays, then not soft tissue

Not so sure Flexen or Fedde will bring anything of eye opening value.

Fedde and Crochet will.  Flexen won’t.

Maybe a more accurate way I should have phrased it is that you don't run X Rays to look for soft tissue, typically

Guys like Tommy Pham are playing for their next paycheck with pretty much every AB.  If he isn't interested,  he isn't getting paid.

Agreed, I wasn’t correcting you.  I just saw the update on Twitter and shared it.

at least the idea of giving intl Chinese and Indian students green cards for graduating successfully from a US college or university, (must be fully accredited, unlike Trump Univ., lol) is one of the more interesting/controversial policy ideas worth debating since 2015/16.

Let’s see him  do that in high leverage situations. Or put him  back in the rotation and let him pitch six good ones a few times before July 31.

time is running short on some of these guys whose only value is to be peddled next month.

I’d prefer they hire a good GM that acquires competent hitters that can score runs to avoid getting shut out so much.

News flash 1st year of a rebuild.Budget was cut severely. You know all this yet still you talk about the GM as if he could just do whatever he wanted constantly. I know you understand this.

You don't know that.JR is the problem . Spend as much time talking about JR as you do his puppets and I'll start thinking you know what you're talking about. Otherwise you're just a guy with a platform to spit into the wind or like the attention of being the leader of the everything sucks brigade.

So basically no different than your opinion right here?

It's honestly amazing the mental gymnastics a few posters here will perform in order to justify the historically awful season we are witnessing. A season where the White Sox will be in reach of several modern baseball records in incompetence. A season where the White Sox WERE NOT TRYING TO TANK. That's what people don't fucking realize. The White Sox had zero incentive to be the worst team in baseball. There's nothing to be gained. They are just that fucking inept.

I'm always amazed by the people who laughed at this team in the off-season, and proclaimed that there was no way, no collection of trades and signings that would make this team competitive this year, and now act surprised at every single loss. 

I think trading your best pitcher in Spring training indicates something akin to tanking. 

It's silly to pretend that slotting a utility infielder in at 2B, trading off your best pitcher and dropping Maldonado at C was a major push at "competing". 

But hey! I'm performing mental gymnastics. LOL.

You just mentioned two of Getz’s primary offseason acquisitions to improve the team’s defense and leadership.  If you seemingly know those moves were bad, why do you not blame Getz for making them?

There's no excuse for this team being THIS BAD without intentionally tanking and trying to lose. None. They are worse than pretty much any team that was TRYING to lose, in the history of modern baseball. Even Oakland last season, was not this bad. They are worse than the 2003 Tigers, and I don't think it's even close. This team might not win 40 games(they will sell off whatever they can at some point).

They spent a not insignificant amount of money on absolute losers this off-season, in an attempt to be better than last season, and failed spectacularly. They've made more moves than any team in history up until this point, in an attempt to improve the results on field, and failed spectacularly. 

If you think Getz and management were planning on this team being THIS fucking terrible this season, I've got a bridge to sell you. 

There's no reason whatsoever to believe this organization has ANY idea what they are doing during this "rebuild".

These are very valid points in my opinion.
