It's defensive crap like this on why the Sox have yet turned the page on scrubs liked Engel and Sanchez. This blows.

In the case of the White Sox, it better damn be Moncada, Eloy, Robert, Kopech, Cease, etc. If those guys fail, game over.

See, I disagree where paying one single player $300 million equates to being any sort of sound baseball move. In fact, history has shown us sufficient proof of this. Especially for a franchise who counts every nickel and one bad contract to them is catastrophic.

Outside of Herrera, these are all one year roster fillers. Bad ones, I agree. But not worth losing sleep over. Be mad not that Rick Hahn failed to get Machado or Harper in here, but that his veteran roster fill-in moves are complete horse shit. Fill-in veterans will be important for this rebuild to eventually work come 2020 / 2021.

Harper/Machado was/is not the endgame.

How about sound baseball moves vs shooting for the moon just for the hype and selling tickets? Which BTW knowing Sox fans, even with the hype of a Bryce Harper, there would still be an excuse on why not to purchase tickets.

Sox are going to be very thankful they missed out on Harper.

Agreed. Leave him there, don't mess with something good. And just like we assumed his bat would come around from last year's rough season, I expect his defense at 3B to also improve going forward (and it's not that bad to begin with).

Geez, where is the baseline there Timmy?

I hope that's the last memory there for Nicky. I hope. I've thought the same for many guys the last 3 years, but like roaches, they just come back.

OK (if your math is true), where does that stack up vs the top teams in the league?

LOL.

It's much easier to win games hitting HRs. We just don't hit enough of them. Especially with that middle of the lineup we send out there.

And the misplay there is costly.

The obligatory Hot Dog Timmy mis-play.

With Alonso, Sanchez, and Castillo in this lineup to go along with the parade of light hitting OFs we send out there each night, How the fuck are we only 2 games under .500 right now?

Yonder has achieved Adam LaRoche suck levels at this point.

wow, just some elevation on that and it's gone!

In that case there, you 100% do. It's Abreu to face Alonso with a LH pitcher.

The Blue Jays have a dumber manager than we have. Nice.

Who's the future HOF 3B out there for $9 million?

Is the argument that Vlad is good or that Herrera sucks? I think you can say both.

I've seen more bad than good from Herrera of late to even give him that benefit of doubt. He sucks.

Herrera, another Rick Hahn FA gem.

This + 1000000 Take the $250 million you were absurdly dangling for one player and buyout the entire Rays front office, development, and scouting department.
