If they can't sign him, they won't call him up. Simple as that. They'd be crazy not to manipulate service time on a player who might turn out to be a superstar.

What case does anyone have against our management for blatant tanking this year? We're hovering right below .500. Besides, you don't punish teams for tanking, you change the system to not favor tanking. Period.

You watch your mouth! He’s a .1 WAR player!

It's not a matter of being afraid or not. It's not even really a matter of paying attention. You are not a professional athlete and are unlikely to do something as basic as buying a beer when a baseball is flying at your head. Nets are essential. The end.

Indeed. It wasn't manufactured.

Ultimately the nickname will whatever seems natural, not forced Like "Bacon"

Eloy's just Eloy

Sounds like, we are going with the Magic Man. Works for me. Rebuild seems to be going swimmingly

Do everyone a favor: ignore @Fan O'Faust and stop quoting him. We ignore him to not have to read his trash and this isn't helping.

Time for @CaliSoxFanViaSWside to take one for the team ?

100% Tough decisions must be made.

Yeah, I didn't see him in any interviews say that stuff. I wonder what the question was

Jose Abreu, in order to stay with the White Sox for the foreseeable future, needs to be ready to DH regularly. Vaughn looks to be 10 times the player Beckham was projected to be.

Sounds like a power hitting outfielder

The 05 team, which went wire to wire and lost only one game in the postseason, and its World Series victory had nothing to do with a song. Superstition is for north siders.

That means Joe goes. Has to mean that.

The best games have multiple winner threads.

Right. And here's the thing. From what I have heard and read, DH is a really really hard spot to play. You bat and it's all you think about. If we're stacked with young guys, I'm not putting one of them at DH. Sorry, I'm just not. DH is a mental drain because you simply do not play the field and have a ton of time to think about previous at bats, good or bad. Andrew Vaughn and Eloy Jimenez will not be DHing for this team for a long time. If Jose wants to be an elder statesman and leader for a young team on the rise, he needs to step up and take the DH spot.

Time for our guy Jose to decide how badly he wants to stay in Chicago then, I'm afraid. His comments indicated he would do quite a lot for this organization and he really wants to stay in Chicago. Here's his shot. DH 70% of the time.

Honestly, at this point there is only one team and it's team rebuild.

Nothing. It's the only reason I can think of off the top of my head as to why we couldn't sign Jose to play DH. DH would be great for Jose.

Lost of good days for the rebuild.

I think people are a little quick to write off Eloy in the field. He's not good, but he is also VERY young.

Vaughn next season? Maybe. If Eloy can improve in the outfield, you can DH Jose and get away with a couple years extension.

This is just wrong. You have to consider what some team would give up for Abreu's services. You can say you won't trade him, but if someone offers up something insane, Hahn has to strongly consider making a move.
