The only way the team hits is if Moncada and Eloy stay healthy and the rest of the players match their career years. The top half of the lineup looks good on paper but the bottom 4 to 5 of the lineup is going to be awful.

I didn’t see this post until I already made mine, but you read my mind.

We never get “legitimate” free agents. If they do spend, it will be more of the same. A bunch of money spread out amongst crappy players. Overpaying more guys like Nicky Lopez and Maldonado.

I have a feeling you will like his posts around 40% of the time this season.

There is no Tanner Banks hate. It’s just that he doesn’t have much of a future with the Sox at 32. He would be the type of guy to trade for a lottery ticket if some other team needs a lefty.

They will just keep kicking the can down the road. If Soroka is good in the first half, they will trade him for a pitching prospect. JR enjoys giving pitchers 3+ year deals as much as my dad enjoys a prostate exam.

These two things aren’t weighted equally. We have seen many more years of bad baseball than good to serve as evidence that no one should be loyal to JR. And JR has provided more awful years of ownership than good ones to promote fan negativity over positivity.

I don’t believe this. There were definitely cuttable arms. No one would’ve missed Scholtens before he needed TJ surgery and there’s still 32 year old Tanner Banks on the 40-man roster.

Yep. Ideally, he breaks out hard and fast before the deadline so they can trade him.

The sad truth is that the biggest and most important day in White Sox history will be when Reinsdorf is no longer owner, regardless of how it happens. It will be more important than any win, trade, or free agent signing.

That’s a bottom five that puts more fear into Sox fans than any of their opponents.

You don’t think one of the three receivers will drop to 9? I could see one of the QB needy teams jumping on McCarthy early before 9.

Multiple good players. Robert isn’t enough to do anything for this team. They aren’t good enough elsewhere, and only have less than a handful of position prospects expected to be worth a damn.

We still have yet to see if Bannister is even the real deal. Let’s see how all these guys pitch in the regular season.

And most of them have to pan out, since we have so few good position prospects.

Yep, young players and an eventual Cease (and others) trade will be the highlights of the season.

They could have non-tendered him so technically he was still a signing after they initially traded for him.

14-3 LOL. I really want to hear from the delusional fans that think the Sox are going to be good this year.

When you suck as hard as Timmay did last year, you would be celebrating every time you got on base as well. .1000 slugging percentage with Instagram whores, .261 on base percentage at his actual job. ? Just imagine if the Sox would’ve wasted $14 million on this loser’s option.

Do the Sox even buy into their managers or do they just hire who is cheap? Grifol is a bigger gomer than Forrest Gump. He doesn’t appear to be qualified to run a gas station.

Opening day: bad August 1st: bad

This is why Getz is a great GM. He anticipated all of these injuries, which is why he went overboard on acquiring pitchers.

Sure they do, but it isn’t always made public in several gossip sites like in Anderson’s case. Apparently, he wasn’t very discreet.

No one used the term “thug” in this thread and the original poster said “quasi gangsta fist thing” that players did. Players, as in plural. Multiple players, not just Anderson. No one in this thread called Anderson a thug or a gangsta, but keep trying to create some sort of racist controversy where there is none. Anderson would still be in a Sox uniform if he didn’t suck so historically bad last year. And it’s far more likely that he sucked due to his messed up personal life than racist comments from fans.

Sox are in midsession form — terrible.
