Chicago White Sox

Cali - You know I’m a big fan of yours, but this is a completely ridiculously summation of how most people feel. Most of us want to take a balanced approach that optimizes a 2021 to 2024 window. Meanwhile, you seem to want to go “all in” on 2021 no matter the near-term consequences it may have.

I wouldn’t definitely skip Rodon every now and then in the rotation, but I wouldn’t shut him down per se. I also think we need to find a way to get Kopech regular starts in August & September or we will be in the same boat with him next year.

Yeah, which is why Marte may make more sense if the Marlins are unable to agree to an extension.

He’d be an ideal acquisition, but god only knows the price unfortunately.

Who is in LF then if Eloy primarily DHs?

Fully agree. I do like Sheets but selling high on him now would likely be the prudent thing to do. I still think a Gallo or Marte for RF is a must.

Goodwin has been great so far, but no way does he keep this up. We should still be targeting a RF upgrade and ensuring we have some depth in case more hamstrings & knees blow up.

Luke Schilling has a UCL tear ?

He’s looked good so far, but let’s wait and see how the league adjusts to him in the coming weeks. I’d hate to see him fall the way of Yermin and suddenly we have a massive hole in RF come October. Personally, if Eloy is going to primarily DH, then I think it’s very risky to bank of two rookies in the corners. I’d add a legit RF and then let Sheets serve as insurance at multiple spots including LF.

A little too early to bank on Sheets being the answer IMO.

Who is the starting RF if we don’t add an OF?

Horn up to 97 MPH? Didn’t think he threw that hard.

If Dallas Keuchel got $18M per year, I’m pretty confident Lynn will get a $20M+ AAV. Edit: I see you mean middle of the season and I agree the Sox will want to see bit more out of him now given the circumstances.

Sounds like 5 weeks still

Seems like a fair trade, but I’d rather pay a little bit more and go get Gallo.

$20M to $25M per for two to three seasons.

Let’s get one more!

If Eaton doesn’t get Collins in then cut his ass after the game.

I love Yoan but dude gets banged up on every play...lol

Rodon appears to be moderately excited about that last strikeout

Can we bring Flowers out of retirement to be the backup catcher for six weeks and then be Collins’ framing coach thereafter?

Collins is legit good against RHP

Fixed it for ya. Just saying we need to make several moves at this point ?

FIFY

@fathom on the money
