Those ST Mercy rules need to apply for Regular Season. Sox have no business staying on the filed and keep embarrassing the game of baseball.

I'll take door #3, CB Bucknor.

Taxi squad means they will be used in an emergency. Highly doubt they'll burn the service time card on Madrigal in an emergency. It's probably Goins.

I've been firing Coop since like 2012. If Fulmer become a stud in Detroit, that needs to be his last straw.

This makes sense with such a short regular season.

Too late to try this, but perhaps giving Eloy reps in RF would have been a good idea early in this camp. If you desperately need a stronger bat, you can try plugging Mercedes in LF with Eloy in right. Yes, Luis Robert would need to cover just about a whole football field.

Glad he's signing elsewhere this quickly, tired of reading delusional Sox fans everywhere thinking Betts and +$300 million was ever an option.

Why do you have to declare an IL during pre-season? Or is he out 10 days after the season starts?

They're not playing in a Nursing Home.

I see that list and maybe there was a conversation that didn't go well with Kopech in perhaps being informed of having to work out of the bullpen this season. Maybe Kopech said, I'm good. I'll stay home. Knowing Ricky and the way he does things, who would he have told from those 6 to yield a spot for Kopech? Easy answer for me is DFA Gio or send Lopez to the pen. But no sure about Ricky.

Based on what, throwing the hell out of a fastball in the minors? Cease and Lopez have pretty damn good fastballs. MLB is a different game. All of these guys are still in the audition phase.

OK Miss Cleo

Exactly, why not rehab on the White Sox dime and accrue that valuable service time?

Kopech has a higher upside, but he was going to be in the same boat as Lopez an Cease in working his way to that "TOR" status this season. There are no guarantees from any of these guys.

I love this. His tone and maturity to me mirrors of what Jose Abreu has brought to that locker room.

Just tired of reading this. Vaccines aren't magic. There is no guarantee we will have one, let alone one that will actually work against this disease. We have to stop living in bubble. If medicine and government see that it's reasonable to have gatherings at 20% right now, then go for it. Take the proper measures (face mask, distancing, washing hands) and move forward. If you're still concerned, then stay home and come out in 2025.

You're frustrated about "none of these guys will ever amount to anything"? What am I missing here? or are you just looking for something to complain about?

I think I'm one of the few who thought Alexei was just not a very good ML player. Very disappointing after a promising rookie season.

I think the game is moving well past the soft tossing contact pitchers of the past. You have to strikeout people to survive in this game today. Now, Detmer appears to have a lot of swing and miss potential with the curve ball, but I don't know how that transfers from College to MLB.

Really love the upside on this kid. He's my guy.

Can someone clarify if my understanding is correct that players will be given their service time if the season is cancelled? So could this be the reason the White Sox optioned Kopech as early as they did? What does this do for players no longer on their rookie deals who signed long term, like Eloy, TA, Robert, and Moncada? I'd imagine the Sox would get the full benefit of the "years in contract" and the service time deal no longer applies.

Farmio: "Flowers to the mound to talk to Noesi. Here comes Coop." Farmio: "Here's how that conversation is gonna go: (Coop) how's he throwing? (Flowers) I don't know, I haven't caught one" RIP Ed Farmer. "GO CRAZY!"

The TA Brain Farts are still gonna part of his game?

BTW, shame on Rick Hahn for not have given Yermin an extended look last September. Especially with the pile of ass he had up here taking ABs to close out the season. Maybe you would have found a DH then and avoided looking for one in the offseason.

Have a defensive position.
