Meh, I agree with him. Nastrini doesn't profile as a "play games with service time kind of guy." And besides, it doesn't matter because if he does become a star we wouldn't be keeping him that long anyways. The issue with it to me is, as its been said a million times already, he hasn't really earned it. And no, I don't think 14 innings in spring training means a guy who has 4 AAA starts has earned an MLB rotation spot. I would really hate to see him get bombed in his first couple starts and then sent packing, probably not the best for a kids confidence.

Yeah I can get behind that. "We feel pretty good about our camp and the roster going to Chicago." ....the only thing that makes this an acceptable response is if the question was "Do you guys think you can finish at least 4th place in the AL Central?"

On one hand, I completely understand they can't come out and say "We have no talent and we aren't spending money, prepare for a lousy season." On the other hand, I really feel insulted that they are trying to blow smoke up the fans ass that this is a competitive roster. I get it, don't come out and say were fucked but man at least don't pretend that this is even remotely close to a good roster.

lol they did a sac bunt in the first inning, can’t wait for Thursday

It’s pretty frustrating we kept the same 101 loss manager and hire an unqualified yes man to not “waste a year” and they are in fact, wasting this year anyways. Like wtf.

Yeah post deadline staff is pretty much what this staff is going to be.

This pitching staff is ass, last years was way better.

No, not at all.

I know its my fault, but if BYU loses in the first round im blaming you.

Yeah can't wait to watch him batting 5th for half the season.

Well thats definitely not Moncada batting second

The division isn't good enough for that to happen. If they were in the AL East or West, then yeah I could see that.

Now that Cease is gone, our starting pitching is just downright awful. I voted 62-70 but I feel like its probably a better bet to take the 56-61 range. Either way, I have already accepted this is going to be a long brutal season.

Since everyone loves spring training takes here... Jake Burger - .139/.162/.412 1 BB 13 K's in 37 PA's Woof.

I actually like that logo, but agree they should have gone with Spiders too

Well for one, the manager of the team said as much. The owner of the team said essentially the same thing. It also appears as if they are going to prioritize keeping these veteran players on the roster for the time being. What makes you think any differently?

I think they’ve already made it pretty clear they’re trying to win games over development at the MLB level. Unfortunate, but it is what it is.

It was always a dumb trade because the Sox were in no position to trade a pitching prospect for a 26 year old OFer with a low ceiling. Makes no sense.

Do people think Iriarte is just some arm that can't hit the zone? He had a better whip and avg against than Nastrini last year and most people seem to think very highly of him.

Oh the rebuild working and creating sustained success over multiple years is pretty much the biggest kick in the nuts to me.

People are just tired of the same old bullshit with this organization. Everyone wants the White Sox to be good and hope they are, hopefully sooner rather than later. Even Balta.

Hey what part of "hope" didn't you understand buddy

Man I forgot about Terrell Tatum, I hope that dude becomes something.

If you are registered to post on this website (with the exception of some Baltimore assholes) you are a small fraction of the White Sox fan base. If you're here, I would consider you a die hard fan. That being said, we had to deal with years of a rebuild that had promises of parades and money being spent. No parades, no money being spent. Everyone here certainly has a right to be pissed off and negative about this franchise because we were lied to.

Well, the A's won 50 games last season and had 29 saves, I don't know how many they blew so might be in the 30's as far as those opportunity. If you think the Sox are going to be a 60 win team, he should have chances late in games.
