    Everyone here defending the Burger trade lost. I won the message board argument. Acknowledge me.

    Eloy was a consensus top 10 prospect in all of baseball and many had him as a top 5 prospect.  He had limitations being a bat only prospect, but the offensive potential was incredibly high.  His trade

    Which guys?  Jankowski?  He will be DFAed within seven days.  Tauchman has been a legitimately productive OF for the last few years despite every poster here calling him “crappy”.  Slater was one of t

How is it possible to make so many bad player evaluations 

Holy f*** this time last year they were selling us on Fletcher as a high floor 4th OF at worst and a solid everyday RF more often than not. Well at least they avoided the sunk cost fallacy. Mercy.

Jake Eder-KW's parting gift to White Sox fans. You can't even blame Getz for him. 

lmao

So Getz has already DFA two outfielders he acquired in trades last year in DeLoach and Fletcher.  Zavala struggled in A+ last season.  Hopefully Braden Montgomery pans out.

It's the White Sox way. Stupid is as stupid does. 

Josh Rojas was also placed on the 10-day injured list with a right toe fracture.

Getz isn't it. Hopefully it doesn't take Jerry dying for action here. 

Woof.  Surprising choices.  

At least Getz appears willing to admit his mistakes.  Hahn would have held onto Fletcher for several more seasons (though I'd rather play Fletcher than the shitty vets they signed).

Good point.  Seems rather strange to sign three crappy vets and make your trades look even worse.  He’s crappy too, but would 2025 really be any different if Fletcher is playing RF?

Didn't realize how much Eder sucked last year in minors

Fletcher was a KW special

I feel like we need the "they are the same picture" meme with Hahn and Getz.

I acknowledge you, my Tribal Chief.

I can't see an argument for carrying Slater, Tauchman, Jankowski and Taylor over DeLoach, Fletcher and Colas.

He managed to keep his ERA below 7.

Colas isn't a major league outfielder. I would have ridden with Fletcher over Janky.

Idk man, Chris Getz might end up with the worst winning percentage in history at the guaranteed rate we're going.

Getz's strategy for rebuilding is to keep playing older players in favor of guys under 30 that have control.

The White Sox as constructed aren't a major league team.

The Janikowski add is hilarious. He had a .508 OPS in 200+ PA's for the Rangers last year. Fletcher is probably a better defensive RF'er than Janikowski, and while Janikowski is better in CF he's also getting old and defensive skills fall off quickly. Is he better than Robert if Robert is back? No.

Even Sam Hilliard at 31 would be better.

Bounced for Moniak.

This 29 year old is perfect for Sox...8 ks in 9 mlb at-bats with two teams but still zero hits.

 

Or could throw this now former Oriole into bullpen mix.

Rh.Contreras, 25, has been bouncing around the league for a long time. That’s due to some enticing numbers and his out-of-options status. Dating back to May of last year, he has gone from the Pirates to the Angels, Rangers, Reds, Orioles, Yankees and then Orioles again via small trades or waiver claims. He has a 4.72 ERA, 19.7% strikeout rate, 10.1% walk rate and 39.3% ground ball rate in his 234 2/3 career innings.
