Bob Sacamano Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 10 minutes ago, Look at Ray Ray Run said: There are definitely enough FA this off-season to make this club competitive next year. Competitive meaning... I don't have to watch everyone here celebrate Chris Getz "turning the organization around" while the White Sox are fucking 40-69. I feel like I'm going crazy reading the optimism here lately. It truly proves Jerry's thought that if you set the bar in a certain place, you can trick fans. No reason this team can't sign 5 guys and turn this into a team trying to hover near 500 and maybe surprise someone. Every bad team has good stretches though. You’re not alone.

Look at Ray Ray Run Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 13 minutes ago, thxfrthmmrs said: If Robert doesn’t get deal today it’s likely Sox does truly believe in him and held firm on the asking price. I would also hate to see them cave settle for a light return here. My thought is why not double down and lock him up. If they truly believe he can get back to some form of 2023, then convert his deal to something like 5/$60M with a 4th/5th year TOs and heavy performance based incentives. He’s still young enough to be around for the next competitive team, and we don’t have the next starting CF in the system yet. I really love this in theory, but it's hard to get on board when considering that the White Sox have destroyed Luis Robert and expecting them to fix him feels like a pipe dream. That said, I won't be mad if I get to continue watching Luis because while many have soured on him here, he's still the most exciting player on this team by a mile. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be horrible to put their bats at 1B, but OMG!! slot one of them in at DH yesterday and watch everybody run around the bases like they turned on a merry-go-round. If the bat doesn't play at 1B, it doesn't play at DH either. They don’t, and I will also add that Quero is awfully short to play 1B 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we were actually blocking a real 1B, I would care, but we aren't. Get your best bats in the up on a daily basis. Plus this allows for whoever plays 1B to go to C in case of emergency without costing us a DH. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WestEddy Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 And maybe this is the big bluff. Everybody expects Getz to cave and take whatever they're holding the line at. They might start getting more serious around 4:15 when he's not calling them back with a counteroffer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I put 2 sentences in one post about how I feel I'm going crazy reading the optimism about the second worst team in Major League baseball. Here's what I can tell you, I've never once quoted an opinion you had about someone else and told you that you weren't forced to read it. Meanwhile, I see you all over this site quoting people who aren't optimistic and "exposing" their negativity. Maybe look up the word irony too.

Its stupid if Getz is dying on that hill. It shouldn't be hard to do a Clifford + Acuna deal if u eat some cash and throw in a reliever. There is no way we will get any of their top 5 guys.

You know, start high, and if things aren't coming together, stay high. I think teams are expecting the Sox to dump Robert, then, surprise!! they wind up with a 3-5 WAR CF for peanuts.

No I was just straight trolling at that point because there was no point in responding past it. And it wasn't people just you. I'll tell Jerry to call off the psyop thought and mind control program.
