WhiteSox2023

Just as good as whatever else we have… ”In addition to Will Venable, Phil Nevin and George Lombard (and others), the White Sox may interview Red Sox legend Jason Varitek for manager.”

Awesome, can’t wait to read it… I would love to see the mods pin this thread but I will leave that decision to those in charge. Anxiously awaiting my copy…

If this is a direct quote from the book, thank you for sharing @caulfield12. Great stuff!!! @VAfan FTW!!!

He’d be more interesting than everyone else IMO.

Just ordered the book. Looking forward to the read. Hopefully WestEddy won’t laugh at this thread because it is mostly negative about the White Sox.

Anyone but Sheets would be a start.

It’s a stuffed doll. It can’t die.

Maldonado was an obvious bad acquisition. It’s tough to not agree with the “echo chamber” on that one.

I think it’s more of people being frustrated with his info if it is truly accurate, because it is usually bad news for the Sox (e.g., TLR running interviews, etc.). It usually seems to be the Sox soxing everything up. He gets messed with because he supports every move that Getz makes to the bitter end and won’t admit the obviously bad moves Getz has made like signing Maldonado.

Yes, inconsistent latency (high ping spikes) for gaming.

BR beats St. Ignatius 24-7 to go 6-3.

I don’t think he should get credit. He kept him on the roster far longer than he should have. Nate Davis is next.

A good GM would have been able to acquire those two prospects for Kopech alone and traded Fedde for something better than Vargas.

The very best kind.

I’m not arguing your logic and support. It was sound. The Sox just go above and beyond your average terrible moves. For example — Miguel Vargas’s numbers in the minors. It seems like the Sox level of scouting on him was looking at his minor league numbers and acquiring him based on the word of an assistant hitting coach that they fired a week later. Meanwhile, you watch him at the plate or in the field for a few games and the average person would never want to acquire him.

No evisceration for Getz. He managed to acquire a much worse player than Edman with the added benefit of 5 years of control for said terrible player.

You just know that they are using the older TI-82’s instead of the newer TI-84’s because Jerry got a deal on them, but they are mainly using them to play Tetris anyways.

This is the end of the road… I’m pretty sure that @VAfan was one of the very last posters that would defend the White Sox on almost each and every move using extensive data analytics that always ended up being wrong. We have no hope now…

Is there a new Jeep model I haven’t heard of?

Let’s admit it, they both suck.

He’s a real person, he’s just not a real baseball player.

The Sox and Getz are just a AAAA team for the Dodgers to rob their last few remaining decent players from.

The intentionally leaked Dave Stewart news to The Athletic was just more of the same. Jerry is so obvious.

I meant to go back 25 years, not 30. Correct on Lamont but Bevington never actually managed a team again after the Sox. He was just a third base coach for Toronto.
