Greatest fake injury of all time. Seth Rollins steals the belt from CM Punk after Punk beat Gunther in a brutal match.

Call him up and throw him at 1B immediately.

Extremely doubtful that Robert/Boras would entertain that. Robert has zero incentive to do it. He already gets $20 million for next season with the Sox looking likely to pick up his option. He then has another $20 million dollar option for 2027 or a $2 million dollar buyout. So he is pretty much guaranteed $22 million at this point, if not $40 million if both options get picked up. He either gets to be a free agent at age 29 after next season or at age 30 after 2027. Why would he agree to your proposed deal? Boras isn’t doing the Sox any favors. He would rather take Robert to free agency sooner rather than later.

@Chicago White Sox had a great idea. With Beni being so bad on defense and his contract being a sunk cost, along with Sosa being bad in the infield, why not convert Sosa to LF? I guess the problem with Benintendi as a full-time DH is that you can’t get both Teel and Quero in the lineup as well. Benintendi is a roster problem.

The Sox would trade him in a second if they could. No team wants him due to his contract.

He’s a bit too cheeseball and hokey. One of those is enough in Schriffen.

I said this in the Robert trade thread right after the deadline. I assume Getz discussed Robert’s option with Jerry and Jerry agreed to pick it up if the trade offers were crap. Otherwise, you would just accept a crappy offer. And yes, if they give Robert his buyout after the season, Getz should be fired.

Cut Rojas and give Mead some run at 1B.

And your idea makes perfect sense. A dude that can’t play defense anywhere very well, but is obviously improving with his bat — Sosa… throw him in LF where D isn’t hugely important. Maybe he can handle it? He’s still only 25 and earning dick…

Hope Benintendi continues going wild and gets his OPS over .800, eat a bunch of his contract for some team that needs a LF/DH, and move Sosa to LF.

No one posted Ozzie’s last performance yet? For shame…

Lazy f*** slacking to home. That’s why you don’t take things for granted and lolligag.

Can’t do the cheap Vodka. For awhile I was doing Tito’s with a little Sprite on ice. Good s%*#.

I know it’s not the same, but can you make some good homemade s%*#? Plain brown rice or noodles, grilled chicken or steak or cooked with a little oil on the stove, veggies, with a light sauce without all the crazy salty MSG sauces? It’s like a burrito — s%*# is good either way.

I’m on my 15th Coors Light. I hope you are keeping up, light-weight.

Yep, pure athletic ability.

I realize this is a joke, but Michael wouldn’t have made it in baseball. He was already 31 and he hadn’t played baseball since high school. It was just an elaborate show and an excuse to keep him out of the NBA due to his under the table gambling accusations, which were true. David Stern, Jerry, and Michael all colluded to make it happen. But this was fun…

Robin Ventura reborn, but he now plays SS instead of 3B.

Lefty-lefty. Impressive as f***.

Dude is a beast.

Also, 8 walks and only 9 strikeouts with the Brewers. Still a small sample size but what an insane hot streak.

Jesus, this is getting ridiculous. EDIT: He is now 3-5 with a HR, 3 RBI, and a BB. His OPS on the season is now up to .698. His numbers with the Brewers are Bonds-esque.

Let Tauchman go on the bereavement list to stay with his family. “Rest” Benintendi a lot. And play Mead and Baldwin.

I guess it’s just one game. Maybe they just want to see how his arm is. I read that it’s pretty bad in his scouting reports. The Sox have a hole at 1B so I just assumed they would move him there. I wonder if they see him as a starter somewhere or just as a utility guy a la Ben Zobrist?

Yep, Getz should jump on any 24/25 year old formerly hyped OF or 1B that somehow makes it to waivers. Based on the news that the Cubs were almost close to trading for Houser, I wouldn’t be surprised if Getz was trying to get their 1B prospect Jonathon Long that was discussed a few times here.
