I voted for moderate improvement, but even moderate improvement will seem significant.

The Ishbias would not have abandoned their pursuit of the Twins and invested more in the Sox if there wasn't a plan. I think we can all agree nothing is imminent, but articles like this (and others) are written without knowing what is going on, and there's probably some White Sox "leaked" information that isn't 100% truthful. As someone else pointed out earlier, this team under competent ownership could make a lot of money. It's probably going to be a while, but I see this as a positive development.

There are some schlubs on X hinting that Elko is going to be promoted, but they have no evidence other than "there's a source" and Elko wasn't in the lineup. Even if he is promoted, do the Sox admit they were wrong and DFA Vaughn? I don't see it.

I hope he plays Saturday. Against my better judgment, I’ll be at the game.

He looked good in spring training, and I really thought he was going to have a nice year, provided he stayed healthy. But, man, he looks terrible so far. Maybe it's partially the weather, but I don't see much in the way of effort at the plate. He's not doing himself any favors if he's looking to get paid after this season.

His at-bat in the 9th yesterday was the laziest, shittiest approach I've seen from just about anyone.

Fitting for a stellar career.

I'm fine with Narvaez being called up for now. Depending on how long Lee is out, we could see Teel/Quero sooner rather than later. My guess is Thaiss gets most of the starts with Narvaez going against LH pitchers.

This team is a joke. f***’s sake.

Shane Smith woke up this morning asking the same question.

The Crochet trade was only the second major trade Getz made, and the Cease trade is shaping up to be an absolute disaster...unless Thorpe has a Henry Rowengartner like recovery. Right now, the Crochet trade looks to be potentially fair. Meidroth and Teel could be making an impact with the big league club this year, and honestly Meidroth should be starting at SS everyday for the Sox right now. Montgomery could be the best part of the trade, but it'll be a few years before we know for sure. My point is that Getz does not have much of a track record with big trades. His overall track record, at least with player acquisition, is not great. But at least two of Meidroth, Teel, and Montgomery being impactful players for the Sox improves his track record.

I had a feeling the Sox would bring him back. We'll most likely see him up with the Sox soon.

The purported Red Sox one is...horrendous. These certainly have to be fake.

My guess is these are not real. Just a lazy use of the Bulls jersey. This looks more like a giveaway, which would actually be kind of cool.

I was more just watching the game and not listening. Did he say this and then say something about deferring to Stone about being an expert in pitching? I know this guy is a boob, but what a stupid-ass comment. Why try to pick a fight with one of the better accounts for all things pitching?
