His FIP is a full run + lower than his ERA. He strikes out over 10/9 and walks less then 3/9. You get his HR/FB% and LOB% in line with his career averages he's a solid #3.

If that's the case, well see both Robert and Madrigal by May next year.

One thing is clear going into next season, the White Sox will need to be flexible and employ different rotations throughout the year given their young arms and injuries. If I am them, I sign Alex Wood and Michael Wacha. Leave camp with the following. April: 1) Giolito 2) Wood 3) Cease 4) Kopech 5) Wacha/Lopez May-August 1) Giolito 2) Wood 3) Cease 4) Kopech 5) Dunning/Wacha/Lopez September: 1) Giolito 2) Wood 3) Rodon 4&5) Cease/Kopech/Dunning/Wacha/Lopez They have to be ready for: 1) Cease/Kopech having innings limits 2) Lopez continuing to suck. 3) Normal injuries 4) Depth for a playoff run down the stretch.

The Sox were over .500 in June (and July) of 2016. But yeah I am with you a split would've been good.

If they dont have the right support systems around their personnel they should know they'll lose their employees. You are right to expect and look for a better work environment.

Still tickets available. Who is heading out?

Worry about yourself. The company has all the power you have to look out for yourself.

Yeah I imagine Robert will move up a lot more with different publications

I am just waiting for all the schools named after Thomas "Me Too" Jefferson and Abe "3/5" Lincoln to be renamed. We need to expunge all references to history that doesn't align with modern day sensitivities. In before thread is closed!

I wouldn't. Grandal should be priority #1 going into the offseason no ifs and buts about it. McCann's performance has been great in 2019 and the Sox masquerade Collins as a catcher - neither of these things factor into the fact that the Sox should target Grandal. I think we need a versatile infielder with a track record of success. I would like Scooter Gennet or Howie Kendrick (love his game, leadership) but I kind of think the Sox will continue to use Yolmer as they tend to do. Past that, I think they ultimately combat some of the 40 man roster issues by trading a group of players for a right fielder. Mets make sense if they're willing to move on from one of Conforto/Nimmo.

He's much better than whoever you're referring to. He'll be sought after by contenders. Sox wouldn't be alone if they pursued.

I've been on Wood for a while. Great mix of track of record of success, buying opportunity and flexibility.

I hear you and your points are valid but I don't think Reinsdorf breaks the mold with a pitcher.

JDM and Rendon would be ideal for the lineup but how realistic is it? Sox aren't throwing $150M+ at Cole?

That's who I have had in mine. Seems like others as well.

All 3 of Robert's hits came with 2 strikes against him.

Winston Salem going for 7th straight PPD EDIT: PPD/Cancellation

Robert.

That's totally fair question. I looked into and there's nothing saying you can't do it (from what I've seen). Also nothing too specific about this exact scenario.

Delmonico had shoulder surgery from what I heard. I think that's public. He's done for the year for sure. No reason to think he has issues with adderall from what I've seen.

Sox will have to DFA one guy to bring up Despaigne and Jay. They will likely take Jay off 60 day IL and then shift Delmonico to the 60 day IL that's one spot. For Despaigne, I would look to the 5 left-handed relivers on the 40 man. It might make most sense to cut Osich from both the active and 40 man roster.

Moncada's line since this post: .381/.435/.643/.1.078. His OPS went from .811 to .856.

Yeah it is bad there. Hopefully Vaughn should be an easy sign at slot that can quickly report to play. I think the Sox are incentivized to get a deal done quickly. Maybe he is with W-S sooner than later.

1) Catcher - Grandal - Overpay this man - 3/63 2) Versatile lefty bat - Derek Dietrich (buy high) or Scooter Gennett (buy low). - 2 yr 20 mil - ish 3) Established lefty starter - Bumgarner/Hill/Miley/Alex Wood 4) Resign Abreu 1 year, 14 mil 5) Relievers 6) Right Field - Trade Jace Fry, Blake Rutherford and Luis Mieses for Brandon Nimmo. ------------------------------------------ C - Grandal/McCann/Collins 1B - Abreu/Collins 2B - Gennett (Madrigal Eventually) 3B - Moncada SS - Anderson LF - Jimenez CF - Leury/Robert RF - Nimmo DH - Collins/Abreu/Gennett/Moncada/Jimenez SP - 1) Giolito 2) LHP FA 3) Cease 4) Kopech 5) Temp/Dunning/Rodon (eventually) 1) CF Robert 2) 3B Moncada 3) 1B Abreu 4) C Grandal 5) LF Jimenez 6) RF Nimmo 7) SS Anderson ? DH Collins 9) 2B Gennett Bench: McCann, Leury, Yolmer

Great deal. Ill be there!
