Everyone knows this about the NBA, that’s not what he’s saying. It’s crazy, but it’s starting to look like they did luck into something. A few somethings. None of it makes sense.

Fair. Where you at on it? At this exact moment in time, is it looking more good or is it looking more bad?

Kyle Teel .300/.400/.500

Man I just don’t want us to do that stuff to players anymore.

Definitely. Think there’s a world where we get a second half rotation of Schultz, Smith, Smith, Thorpe & Burke for a bit? Say everything is going right for those guys and they are torching the minors, will we get a taste? I don’t know the plan for innings, but it would be cool though and plant some serious seeds of optimism for 2026.

Wow can Teel end up being a monster, like a .900+ OPS guy? Can he be what we all wanted Flowers to be?

Well this will probably encourage me to check box scores. It’ll likely be another year of not watching a single game for me, but it looks like MLB & MiLB box scores will get some attention. If somebody from the Sox is reading this, that’s progress on getting this fan back one day. I often wonder if my baseball fandom is just done. It’s weird for sure.

I think what Greg is saying is they might not actually score a run until sometime in May. What if we only score 100 runs all year

I still feel like he’s a HOFer if we just left him at 3rd. 3rd is a swagger position and he was crushing it. Nothing cool about 2nd base and totally neutered him beyond repair. might be time to dust off the Beckham projections thread for laughs

The goal is $30M for 0 or less WAR.

It needs to add up to the dollar amount a top tier FA would cost per year.

cheers to @WhiteSox2023 for using Soxcess in the other thread. Never seen it before but it hits home for sure. Thought it would be fun to really explore the depths of this word. More than simply a word to all of us. I mean where to begin. So many layers. It means so much. Right away I’m getting some Kingpin vibes like with Munson being a verb, but way worse. Never really having the world in the palm of your hand like Munson, but instead just always messing it up since forever and to confidently keep going on the suck path. Soxcess

I’m not sure how the organization works either. What we know is that they’ve had some high payrolls but they’ve also never signed a large contract for a top tier player. Both are true. It is what it is only until it isn’t.

Yea this guy sucks wtf are we doing

My opinion is that we still need a lot of good players. Once we get good players I’ll probably become a fan again.
