I think there's a 60% chance Rick is coaching in 2020. We don't know for sure, but if Joe Maddon hadn't come available in 2015, would the Cubs have moved on from Rick?

As far as I'm concerned, Yoan is left handed. I know my opinion doesn't matter but we need him on base.

I was almost right.

That's okay. We're going to get Ace Fulmer tonight. That one run is all he needs.

Yoan has responded to the benching the other night. Rick knows what he's doing.

Yoan is such a beast.

He should be pretty smart. He played at Vanderbilt on a great college team.

Saw a Model 3 on the way home from work today. I love the front. 6-8 months until @JoeCoolMan24 posts pictures, I hope!

Anyone with one iota of baseball savvy understands that the bad play is a direct result of a rebuild and the White Sox are better for it so long as the correct players still contribute (Reylo, Yoan, TA) The last rebuild team Rick coached was fine. Their fans likely give you grief with your terrible hot takes You're failing at the whole trolling thing

This is the MLB equivalent of an impulse buy. No need to do this. Control is what matters for a mid market team like the White Sox

Because complaining about losing in a rebuild is like complaining about noise in a thunderstorm. Uh...duh

You're both right. he has been one of the better starters in baseball but his unsustainable peripherals hurt his odds of staying there.

Well, at least this will be a high scoring affair...

I like this idea with Trayce. He's not the future, but he appears to be a much more serviceable player than whatever Engel is.

Didn't greg say that Yoan would likely be in open rebellion?

Attendance is a small piece of the pie and the reality is attendance in every market except two is directly correlated to winning. If the team isn't winning, attendance drops in almost every market. Attendance just isn't that important when the team is bad. If the Sox are good and attendance is still bad, that's a different discussion. Big picture, attendance matters more for the game as a whole but individual team attendance is far less important than viewership numbers.

Get back to us in 2020

We were rebuilding last year and Avi was great.

My biggest concern is the potential of blowing draft picks. If my life were dependent on this rebuild, drafting would be what keeps me up at night.

That is so stinking funny. With a huge grin, too.

Improving the short term team.

Agreed on Thompson 100%. We all saw him as a utility outfielder when he was here last. It looks like he still could be.

The pitching is really bad, but I can't imagine this team wins less than 60. "on pace" or not, the Sox will go on a run of some sort.

This statement is completely missing the big picture. Until the MLB sets more regulations, it's in the best interest of teams that aren't going to win the World Series to tank. The Sox are doing the right thing.

I'm going to be that guy: It doesn't matter. Sorry, it just doesn't.
