  1. I know many have shitted over a Kimbrel for Segura swap, I'd kill for that at this point. Very concerned there just might not be any Kimbrel takers out there. Not for that salary. Get what you can from that miserable mistake.
  2. Scott Merkin doing the company work. At least he gets to participate now.
  3. The problem is that this feels more like being a crutch move (just in case).
  4. White Sox lead the world in ML contracts to relief pitchers and bench players. Kudos.
  5. Just no imagination by this team. Zero. Great teams find "super sub" players within the scraps of their own farm system. They don't give 3 year deals to these types of players.
  6. He's gonna get a statue just based on tenure.
  7. Pandemic or not, canceling SoxFest was the best move this front office made.
  8. I highly doubt ownership reads this blog or even if they did care about our opinions one bit.
  9. The Bulls have always been willing to pay $$$ in free agency, the problem being no one ever wants to come and play here.
  10. This x 100. All the madness and bitching going on here is as if folks just started following this team last year. The self imposed Salary constraints are inexcusable, but that's how it has been since I have been following this team which basically has been since Reinsdorf and Einhorn acquired it.
  11. The Bulls did not overpay for Ball and DeRozan based on NBA contracts. Plus, the two sports cannot be compared when it comes to finances and payroll.
  12. One positive thing from this offseason is the lack of made up shit from "White Sox Insiders." No silly emoji eyes and no silly egg hunts for baby booties. Even Hector Gomez gave up on screwing with our emotions.
  13. Don't be fooled by this. There is no changing the White Sox business model. The Twins could be having the Mets offseason right now and Reinsdorf wouldn't even blink.
  14. Refuse to invest in Berrios but take on the huge risk which is Rodon...... It's a win for the Sox.
  15. For once in history, this is actually a true statement.
  16. I still don't see how starting pitching is our biggest weakness. 2B by far is the biggest issue and RF right behind it (although if I have to live with Vaughn there then so be it). Since we have a cheap owner, that's where we need to concentrate in using whatever "limited" resources these clowns have.
  17. +1. Not when you have an owner who refuses to every put out a 9 figure deal, for anyone. He's not going to do it all of a sudden for Guasman or Ray. Not with that limited of a track record.
  18. Outside of Berrios, very limited track record of being good.
  19. The Rodon injury was pretty damaging because he and Lynn basically carried the rotation for 2/3 of the season. Rodon was easily a Cy Young candidate until he got hurt.
  20. I'm a "glass half full" kind of guy. I honestly think we are much better than we played in the Astros series and health was one of our biggest downfalls this past season. I also think that there is room to grow for many of your young players (Eloy, Robert, Vaughn, Moncada) and what we saw last season is not the ceiling for everyone of these guys. I also think that our current starting rotation situation is in way better shape than many want to give credit for. I'd love to have another frontline starter, but that's a luxury at this point. Invest in the bullpen. Trade Kimbrel for a 2B. I'm fine with with Vaughn in RF. Extend TA and Giollito.
  21. They are going to need about 10 more Marcus Semien level signings to become relevant.
  22. Hey, don't you minimize what the Miggy Cabrera and his albatross contract has done for Tigers Culture. Not cool.
  23. Fiscally conservative vs Delusional fans. Anyone thinking the Sox were breaking the bank in free agency continues to play the part of being delusional. Enjoy the heart break.
