Trade Whispers - Starting Pitchers
Ben Waffleson replied to Chicago White Sox's topic in Pale Hose Talk
Without buying into the "140m payroll" idea. Maybe just maybe this gives them more play in free agency. -
Trade Whispers - Starting Pitchers
Ben Waffleson replied to Chicago White Sox's topic in Pale Hose Talk
I'd gladly take Sonny Gray over Yu Darvish. 3 years younger and makes little less than half of what Darvish makes. Might come with a solid back-up gold glove catcher in Barnhart? Sign me up. I'm not going to be buying the narrative from these 'food guys'. NotCishek can get the benefit of the doubt though. The other ones tweet too much its nauseating, Especially Als. I'll trust the guys on this board that have solid track records. (Besides Rosenthal, Passan, Heyman) -
Ok I’ll give NotSteve his credit now But I have to say; This Als beef and portillos hamburger thing is out of wack. Either way great start grabbing Lance Lynn .

This couldn't be more of a disaster. Forget liking/disliking this as a baseball move. Feels like we've just shot ourselves in the foot. -
Whatever your opinion is on TLA signing, don't stoop to the "morbid' level of hatred.

AJ Hinch: does it matter to you that he cheated?
Ben Waffleson replied to Kyyle23's topic in Pale Hose Talk
I want to make this simplistic. Aj Hinch is an intelligent baseball guy (Not mocking Hahn , promise) White Sox have positive media attention at the moment. Were the ‘Good guys’. We don’t need a manager that will be targeted. We have a potiental dynasty. I would hate to see it tainted by bringing it a controversial leader. This is a job that people want. Outside of baseball. Just basic business sense... If I have an opening for a leadership position and right out of the gate I have a target, I set myself up for failure. If ‘Person A’ is my target. Regardless on how Person A interviews; I will ultimately have a pro-bias based on that person being my target canidate. A leadership position is everything. For my business I want a performer that wants the job and bleeds pride and commitment over the person with prior success who thinks he deserves it. If Aj Hinch is the guy at the end; its not because he was targeted by this organization. It will be strictly based on his interveiw and potiental working relationship with the front office. It will happen naturally. This front office is way to deligent ‘target’ Aj Hinch. I think our next manager isn’t going to be somebody we aren’t speculating on. -

Sox @ A’s - Wildcard Game 3 - 2:10
Ben Waffleson replied to Bad Hombre's topic in 2020 Season in Review
Is that hermy sitting next to coop? -
Not against the Luery thing. He was crushing the ball before going on the DL. Feels like we would be asking a bit too much from him though.

If Eloy is healthy, I feel like he should be the DH. Oakland is a very spacious place to play. Id like to see a good defensive OF behind Gio. I dont mean Jarrod Dyson starting Maybe left to right Engel Loubob Nomar I know most of you hate Nomar but I really think hes looked more locked in this week and I hope he makes all of us eat our words.

Mass unfollowing @notstevecishek

BIG game tonight! Lets Roll!

I hope the Sox don't try to do unnecessary damage control. No move can be a good move. These aren't desperate times yet.

God I hope were not competing...
