Maybe it's not so bad that I'm in the blackout zone.

Having just walked home in this, I would cancel it. I was spotting random bits of ash just floating in the sky. The NWS is giving out warnings to not do any physical activity in this.

Did you just, like, forget Top 100 prospect Oscar Colas starting the season in right field? Just cause he didn't perform doesn't mean he wasn't there. Same as Jordan Walker and Grayson Rodriguez.

Burger: Not great on road Sheets: Lefty Yankees Stadium: Lefty heaven I fail to see why this is difficult. Burger will likely play this series.

Gordon Beckham has 10/10 hair. Yoan Moncada doesn't smile. Tell me, who is the better player when we look at these advanced stats???

Fwiw, I'm being facetious. But to answer your question: defense and low power are what he's being dinged for. But he's still right there.

#4

Idk man fWAR says he's only on the cusp of being a Top 10 hitter in baseball.

It currently has him as the 17th best position player in baseball, ahead of Mike Trout, Juan Soto and Luis Robert. He's barely behind 10-16.

@ptatc, I hate to summon you for this, but does fucking up your knee cause you to lose power? I would assume yes.

Alberto's defense also took out Tim Anderson's knee, so, you know.

This is why his defense makes no sense to me. Usually that's the first thing to go when dudes stop trying. Perhaps they need to do a reverse Major League motivation scheme.

@Timmy U you starting on Wednesday?

Oh I'm definitely not arguing the Sox are better positioned. The Sox are in hell. Like, quite possibly only the A's are in a worse spot at the moment. But the Padres are in a very not-good state. They've spent insane amounts of cash and Tatis thinks the baseball gods are punishing them. And Trout and Ohtani are on the Angels, not the Padres. I would also prefer watching two of the most talented baseball players of all time instead of the White Sox. I would also be just as livid at Arte Moreno as Jerry Reinsdorf for squandering them.

The Rick Hahn philosophy: But I didn't check the publication date, cause this was from two months ago. I'm sure at FriarTalk there are definitely some people arguing with the talented group at Petco Park currently. Again, they have one more win than the current White Sox.

My thought process: "Harold what are you doing, there are no Monday games..." Sees DSL and ACL Hell yeah! Sees Jimmy's note on Colson! HELL YEAH

They learned what last year's White Sox did. Don't post stupid memes early in the season.

Preller's gonna have to trade it all to save his job, because despite spending fat stacks of cash + three superstars + several other All-Star caliber players, they only have one more win than the White Sox. Baseball is wild.

Au contraire, I think it takes a lot of talent to overcome the White Sox developmental staff.

He currently has more of a pulse than the AL Central.

Man, I get it, but f*** Badoo.

There's something amusing about MLB TV using Hanser Alberto as "White Sox second baseman" in a promo.

Kopech looks real good right now.

How Dalquist got his groove back.

Was kind of heartened to see TA and Haase were checking on the ump immediately.
