12 hours ago12 hr 1 minute ago, WestEddy said:Yes, it would be great to have a 4-5 WAR 3B sitting on your bench. LOL. Vargas ranks 4th in fWAR for qualified 3B. He's a borderline All-Star at this point.I never said that I was expecting a 4-5 WAR 3B but 3+ would be nice. That should be the expectation if they want to win another WS.We’ll see where Vargas is at by the All-Star break and at the end of the season. He is prone to long slumps and spurts of hot streaks. I am not a believer.Besides, he’s going to be replaced once Roch is ready and they move Colson to 3B. My guess is that Vargas will be dealt. Edited 12 hours ago12 hr by WhiteSox2023

12 hours ago12 hr 8 runs scored, Burke on the mound, I'm almost guaranteeing a win before the game starts.Dreadful all around, on the mound.
12 hours ago12 hr I don't feel too badly about this game. Runs are on the board for the White Sox. Some other things happened that weren't as good. Let's build this plane as it flies.

He should easily clear 3. Maybe Vargas will be dealt. It won't be this year, and probably not next.
