Who would you prefer? This is a huge upgrade for the team. Most of you are underrating him. He puts up solid numbers every year and had an amazing offensive season just 2 years ago, he is only 28 and can do it again. I still don't understand why so many are against this. Most of the other names available aren't significantly better than him, in fact most aren't even better in general.

Eloy is a number 3 hitter, Abreu should be 4 or 5.

Castellanos career offensive numbers are barely better but Ozunas defensive numbers are much better than Castellanos. BaseballReference has Ozuna's career defensive WAR at 1.1, Castellanos is at -10.2.

110K's isn't that much in todays game. Moncada had over 150K's last year and he was great.

Someone explain why fans are not excited about this. If defense is an issue then why do so many want Castellanos? I looked up Ozunas numbers and he looks better than almost all the other names people have been suggesting. Nick Castellanos career WAR according to BaseballReference is 7.1. Ozuna hit 37 homers and an OPS above .900 just a few years ago. He is only 28.

No reason they can't offer him a short term multi year deal. He can be DH.

Gerrit Cole was not a star when the Astros traded for him, he was a good pitcher but had an ERA over 4 at the time of being traded. Their amazing pitching coaches and analytics department turned him into an ace just like they rejuvenated Verlanders career. The White Sox should learn from them but that would require a very modern approach and dumping Cooper.

Please, no. I don't care if White Sox fans love him he is a bad announcer. They don't need to pick someone White Sox fans know for color announcer. No one knew who Jason was before he joined the booth.

Except Ricky is too stupid to have a line up with Robert, Moncada, and Jimenez consistently batting 1- 2- 3.

Frank and Ozzie were complaining about all the lineup changes in the previous post game show. I don't remember the exact numbers but I saw a stat showing the Sox only had the same line up a few times all season.

On reddit I often see the 80's logo get complimented by other teams fans when we play them.

Too bad there is not a downvote option on this site. Those uniforms are the best and they should make alternate black ones for road games.

He doesn't though.

Why are you not surprised? The only reason to not be surprised is because the front office is so stupid that we shouldn't be surprised they would call up Palka again instead of Yermin.

Well they should have been but it should have been a done a month or more ago.

Thing is you don't need to be much of a numbers guy to not bat the worst hitters clean up.

One thing is for sure, even if he was good enough he wouldn't be in the majors this year with the Sox.

This wasn't the White Sox idea. They are included because they were the team in the movie.

According to baseball reference Leury is 3rd on the team in WAR with 2.4 behind Moncada and McCann.

Lopez seems to be throwing harder. Fastball has been consistently 97+. Edit- Well he was the first 2 innings.

I agree but with this logic they should both be called up now.

They can't but they probably will.

June? There is no reason at all to keep him down after the April deadline next season.

Why the hell is Yermin not up yet? Probably because the front office doesn't want to look stupid by having to get rid of Reed already.

You are not being sensible.
