Chicago White Sox

The reality is this org really loves Andrew Vaughn. Short, slow, unathletic, underachieving, and right-handed. What’s not to like from a 1B? The reality is they aren’t going to give up on him and will force him down our throats as one of the “leaders” of the team. He will be here next year, so we should just hope for the best. On the other hand, I feel pretty confident Eloy gets traded. My guess is he gets moved for a plus defensive RF with a questionable bat so that Getz can claim we’re getting “more athletic” despite adding old ass Salvy behind the plate.

Especially when Salvy eats up 27% of that amount.

Wow, I was totally wrong. Can’t wait to see what losers Grifol brings in to fix the offense.

It’s the only thing I can think of. Getz is going to have pull off a miracle to develop a competent pitching staff and perhaps it’s better to let Grifol fall on sword next year and let his replacement come in once things are in a better spot. But that may be giving Chris too much credit as he was instrumental in bringing Grifol in as manager in the first place.

The Giants may be worse than the Bears. They’re a real threat for the 1.01 if that O-Line continues to play like they did tonight.

He literally has nothing interning to say. I am completely flabbergasted that they would even consider bringing him back next year. Getz must realize that next year will be rough and he doesn’t want to burden a new manager with that type of season. No other logical reason in all honesty.

No one worth a damn is signing with the White Sox after last year. Grifol is a complete joke and it’s painfully obvious to anyone who hears him speak.

I don’t buy for a second there will be that many changes. Hassler and Boston are obviously gone, but most of the other guys outside of Katz were Grifol hires. What kind of message does it send if he fires a bunch of guys he hired after year one when he gets to stick around? Who would actually sign up to be their replacements?

Steeling from Twitter, but…Cowherd claims his “sources” have informed him that Williams and his father have a handful of franchises that he has reservations about. He insinuates the Chicago Bears are one of them.

If we can somehow land Williams, then give him everything in your power to ensure he’s successful. I’m talking about an offensive minded head coach, more weapons (MHJ at 1.2 or 1.3), and better pass protection. We should have a lot of cap space this off-season and can target both OL & DL. Go after actual impact players in free agency and then add depth in rounds 2 through 5 of the draft.

Honestly, if one of our picks ends up the 1.1, then you take Caleb Williams no matter what Fields does the rest of way. Right now, that looks very possible and could make this s%*#-show of a season worth it. But we’d also need to can Eberflus and hire a young, offensive minded head coach (Ben Johnson?).

It’s not just the QB, it’s also the coaching staff. Both are legitimate problems.

Exactly, there was nowhere to go but up talent wise. But this team is bottom three on both sides of the ball. Let’s ignore the abomination of an offense for a second. When you hire a defensive minded head coach, you expect an elite defense eventually. Last year there was no talent whatsoever and there are still big holes, but I’d still expect us to outplay our true capabilities a bit. But nope, still one of the worst defenses in the NFL. There is no rational argument for why Eberflus should be given another opportunity at this point.

The talent base is better, but the receiving core continues to do nothing. This coaching staff can’t figure out to get the offense to work.

This isn’t about going from worst to playoff contender in one season, but tell where we have seen any real improvement.

I can’t wait for the Eberflus & Getsy era to come to an end. These men should be legit embarrassed for being this incompetent at football management.

FWIW, I saw a Royals fan on Twitter claim Watson has been a big problem to their scouting success and was soon to be fired. Who knows if true, but the fact he is a Royals guy doesn’t make me optimistic.

Obviously take it with a lot of salt, but gross if this comes true.

I recall feeling this way about Pedro vs. Tony and that turned out to be untrue.

More speed & athleticism would be great, but plate discipline & power are far more glaring holes. And realistically, where is speed and athleticism an actual problem? Robert is an all-world athlete in CF. Moncada & Anderson are great athletes when healthy on the left-side of the infield. Colas is fairly athletic for a guy of his size. So basically that leaves LF and 2B where you have your highest paid player in franchise history (who doesn’t fit this new focus) and a kid who is one of our few major league ready young players. Honestly, they’re simply going to trade Eloy for a guy to replace Colas in RF and call it a day. Throw in a Perez trade and that’s your 2024 positional group.

Jerry should sell the team immediately if he’s so incompetent that Dave Wilder feels entitled to rip him.

It’s honestly mind-boggling to me. We all get there is a serious talent deficiency with this roster, but the complete lack of hustle & heart on a nightly basis is beyond indefensible. We’ve also seen very little improvement from almost any of the players, in particular in regards to controlling the strike zone. And on top of that, he doesn’t convey any confidence that he knows what he’s doing when being interviewed in pressers. The guy is all around terrible and that should be clear as day to anyone who follows this team on the regular.

This is guy is a bigger embarrassment than a fan sneaking a gun into the park via her fat fold.

He’s a spineless coward…absolutely embarrassing that he gets a second year as manager instead of a lifetime banishment for his s%*#-show of a performance.
