I mentioned this in a game thread, but it's frustrating seeing other successful developmental clubs having multiple teams in AZL, etc., But the White Sox only have one. It seems like there is a glut of players in the summer league to rookie ball range that deserve a look and some more ABs. When the hell will the Sox get another AZL team?

It's pretty annoying seeing all these teams that are successful in developing minor leaguers have a 2nd AZL team, yet here the Sox are with one AZL team

If the right offer doesn't come up for him, I'm fine keeping him for depth in case an injury happens to Abreu or Vaughn. He probably makes it before Vaughn if he goes to Charlotte this year.

Greg's village idiot act may be the best (and definitely most persistent) troll job I've ever seen. Bravo greg

By all accounts players love playing for the White Sox. What basis do you have for thinking they have a bad reputation?

I hope he gets called up this year. If anything, you can use it as a talking point when signing other international free agents or convincing prep picks to sign. The White Sox won't play the service time game. When you're ready, you come up. Maybe that is a moot point compared to signing bonuses, but it can't hurt.

I'm sure that would be great for the White Sox reputation among the players and agents

10th rounders make the MLB only about 17% of the time. 8% play in the MLB for over 3 years. Why do you think so lowly of Mr. McCann? He's been awesome and is worth exponentially more than that

Is this surprising to you? Keith Law absolutely DESPISES the White Sox. It's comical at this point.

McCann is a very interesting trade idea. You would need a Kings ransom for him

Vaughn killing it so far as well. He will be the White Sox 1st baseman at some point next year imo

What a freaking beast

You never know. It's possible he's lurking. However, it may be no coincidence that Tom Longo and SS2K5 disappeared at the same time

I don't dislike Jose on a personal level. Unless you consider my discontent his fat lippers "personal" that is.

As long as you take a reasonable and rational approach to your viewpoint, this is fine.

The part where you are mad about tanking but the tanking rebuilt team will be so stacked with phenoms that it won't need a good player like Jose Abreu, which makes you mad again. You hate tanking, but the result is a theoretical team with phenoms at every position (which would lead to a dynasty), but it upsets you that this dynasty team doesn't haven't Jose Abreu. First off, the dynasty team with phenoms at every position is obviously a pipedream that won't happen. Not everybody will be stars. For some reason it bothers you that the team would be a complete dynasty, because no Jose.

What in the hell are you talking about? Is any of what you wrote there legitimately reality to you?

Is there any way Jose declines the QO? I don't think anybody will sign him until midseason like Kimbrel and Keuchel if he has the draft pick compensation attached to him. Its either he signs the 1/18m~ qualifying offer, or he goes to 2 or 3 years at a discounted price. 2/24 possibly. The White Sox hold all the cards here.

Doesn't he come across as desperate? Give him one year deals like you did to Konerko, NOW. If he has a bad year, bye bye Jose. Thanks for the memories. If he has a good year, sign him to another 1 year deal.

He sounds like a creepy ex girlfriend who refuses the notion of you splitting up with her.

He doesn't even have to drop the obscene amount of money it costs to get a parking spot and a hotdog at the ballgame!

Whoops got them mixed up. You are correct

Acuna needs the money after that garbage contract

What about The Little Magician
