It's sad, because the guy could've probably been a hall of fame caliber player if he had stayed healthy. I still don't know how much stock to put in whether or not he cares or is motivated by baseball or not. Maybe he just hated playing for the White Sox. I wouldn't blame him for that. Hibbard Jerksticks and poppy were five of the most optimistic posters here and look what the Sox have done to sap all of their collective enthusiasm. Fathom is right. I don't think Reinsdorf and Boyer understand quite yet exactly how battered and bruised this franchise is right now. It will definitely be apparent in April and May crowds...spring training attendance, will probably get more Dodgers' fans blocked out of tickets for their half of Feb/March who just want to watch other teams play. Glendale will definitely be a ghost town during the Tokyo Series against the Cubs. I suppose it's a unique opportunity for that "dirty dozen" still persevering in their coverage of the Sox to gain all-encompassing/exclusive access...guys like Fegan and Margalus and Connor McKnight.

A lot of his skills quickly deteriorated though

February 13, 20251 yr Hall Of Fame lol. A healthy Moncada had a 1% chance. That would be a wild assumption.

February 13, 20251 yr Davis vs Rendon in the battle of who was worst, honestly it’s breaking my brain. I can’t decide because Davis did have a pretty big couple of years (4.9 and a 3.1 WAR) in his first couple seasons after the contract (except for average) but it goes straight to the negative after that lmao it’s honestly “which guy do I dislike more” imo 😂
February 13, 20251 yr Pretty wild that Rendon's 52 games played in the Covid year is almost his most games played in a season with the Angels.

To put this into context, this all started because I wished Moncada the best and that post has the most "likes" in this thread. Maybe traffic is down because of people like you and not people like me. IDK. How many of those are Sox sites? When it comes to the Sox - this place has more traffic than any of them - especially discussion. Twitter can have more isolated comments - but actual people trending together on views - this is it. Also in terms of actual baseball forums or reddits - it is a high volume board - but yes - slower than the past - given the broader dynamics - but also heavily due to the team. But overall - I wouldn't trade this for anything - its a true community....its also purely a hobby...not like we've ever operated it as a for profit or business. It really is a place for Sox fans from all over the world to be able to come on, vent, root together, etc aligned to a common goal.
