46DidIt

How do you define blue chip? Thorpe was ranked in top 60 by BA and BP.

I’m surprised even Slater would sign here. He had a pretty crap year last year, but 115 OPS+ from 2020-23 isn’t too shabby. You’d think he could have signed with one of the other 29 teams

There was no previous report of them trying to add him to trade offers. The report was that another team offered to take him in tdl deal that didn’t happen

He’s still pre arb. Why wouldn’t they

“In these particular discussions, an unnamed team proposed taking on all or most of Benintendi’s remaining contract. Whether the White Sox seriously entertained this idea is unknown” Not sure how that substantiates the claim the Sox want to package him with Crochet

I believe it is particularly a Sox thing. Major league quality hitters are being produced somewhere else

Cease, Lopez, Rodon, Fedde and Crochet could have reasonably happened though, which would have been the best rotation in baseball based on ‘24 performances

Crochet had a 32/2 strikeout to walk ratio over his final 17 innings. Not sure how you do that having run out of steam

Depending on who you consider a dh, there were 5-7 corner outfielders who hit 30 HR last year

Yeah but under arb rules minimum increase is 10%. I could see a 25% increase but more than double?

I think so. Hitting .200 with a strong walk rate at AA after not playing baseball for thirteen plus years and never at a pro level is actually pretty good imo

Sullivan Okitsu I’d actually like to meet that fellow

They and Tiant should obviously be in hall of fame

I still don’t see how Vaughn’s salary doubles in arb after a worse season

Kopech’s performance had nothing to do with his HR rate going from 1.6/9 to 0.4/9? Sure

Two players that left preceding this season put up 5 WAR seasons this year

@kyle: Also my first reply there i made before I read your post, for the record

I’m not sure claiming it’s easier to take something out of your own ass is the greatest position to lay claim to, either, if I’m being honest🤣

Also putting people on ignore would go against my ways

Sorry but he did call me a dumbass so at that point I took it as gloves off

Your head is up Getz’s ass now, genius? Lmfao

Hey Ray Ray go f*** yourself. You’ll have take your head out of your own ass first though

What’s this ‘we’? I was responding to Ray Ray’s comment
