White Sox do have control (ARB 3) of Tauchman's rights next year...although it's crazy to imagine putting HIM in CF whenever Robert leaves.

RF is fine...until Braden Montgomery arrives, since Veras is miles away from being a viable contributor.

 

Otoh, a team like SD is definitely going to trade for him (first) with how well he's going recently.

man in a few years hoepfully he deposits that in the power alley in right center.

Meidroth and Vargas both sitting on a 739 OPS...exactly.

 

NOW, if only they could "fix" the bottom five hitters in the line-up, lol.

You're right Fathom, Vargas misses a lot of cookies middle out because he's only a pull hitter right now.

And if he doesn’t pull the ball, it’s an automatic out

His head would explode 

How the hell has beni not figured out LF at Grate yet?

Vasil's ERA looks great, but he's not providing much value according to the fangraphs scale even at sub 2.00.

 

He's definitely someone they SHOULD be looking at as a starter in the second half of the season.

The big question is how much he loses off at 94-95 MPH FB, how sustainable it is as a starter.

to me you don't mess with an iconic design with a minor tweak. either redo it or don't.

That’s kinda my point, they left the logo alone and did the ‘pride’ thing as some tasteful banding. Most of the time, they just do the rainbow thing over the logo, like the Sox did in previous years. Better looking hat compared to previous imo, wearable. 

also just gotta give my unpopular opinion that the design isn’t that iconic. It’s my least favorite Sox hat and seems like a copy of the raiders brand lol 

good call Cali.

Two good AB for Elko

This pitcher really sucks 

Elko 106.7 on your FM dial. 

Lol....

Elko killing the ball tonight

Elko hopefully back for good. 

Great, more ex-White Sox bullpen members....overpaid ones, at that.

 

Also, is this the first game of the season that Venable's "OPENER" completely got blown up?

Glad to see they're fighting back

No reason to not give him the rest of the year

not with all the season tickets being sold.

lol rojas clueless

NM, wouldn't have gotten him at 2nd, good play.

Helluva job by Rule 5 #2. Hope he doesn't get stuck with any runs here.

Sox coming back preventing me from watching 1st game of Stanley Cup final.

Hilariously, Smith and Vasil are going to turn soxtalk into the biggest Rule 5 Draft fans of all time. we're unrealistically spoiled now on it
