This pen management is unexplainable.

Getting tough to defend Pollock. Just been plain awful.

Outside of the top few players the farm is pretty awful.

I would agree with that assessment.

Turns out they probably should have fired Tony.

Man just gotta get a decent left handed OF in this lineup.

Is Quintana really buying?

Atta boy Yoan

Woof

Good to see Yaz finding some grass and seeing some pitches.

Seby wouldn’t catch a 1 hop on a close play if his life depended on it.

Pain. At least go after Rosario so you can put one in JRams back.

Correct

Rwmirez deserves one in the upper regions. Enough is enough.

Probably for now with Yaz taking Luis' roster spot. They'll drop try to move one of them for something of use in the next 10 days before

Because he doesn’t like him. Not even worth conversing with him on it honestly.

Because they're fans who are impatient and want success now. Sox need more players with the offensive profile of Moncada and Grandal (when playing to their abilities), not less.

And your assumptions aren’t huge? I love fWAR as much as the next guy but how hard is it to understand that the Sox need lineup balance and a left handed hitting 1.5 fWAR guy that balances the lineup and actually hits righties well is more valuable than more of the same on this roster that can’t hit a righty if he was throwing a chicago softball? Sox probably aren’t signing Conforto. But it’s just amazing to me that people can’t understand how badly this team needs a good left handed bat (or 3), even after watching this offense flail for 3 months. Conforto is the definition of a good left handed bat.

He's 29 years old. He had a shoulder surgery, he didn't die. He'll be fine. Whoever signs him to this pillow contract is going to be quite happy. And no, I am not friends with SCott Boras. I am a die hard white sox fan that see's this team sucks donkey dick against RHP and BADLY needs help from the left side, something Conforto can provide EVEN IF HE DOESN'T IMPROVE on his 2021 numbers.

Nimmo would be a better fit than Conforto. Nimmo would be excellent. Difference is 1 isn't available right now, and the other difference is Nimmo will require far more years and dollars. Relevant differences in the scope of this conversation. Me thinks TONS of clubs are going to be after Nimmo this offseason.

Yet you want to focus on the smallest possible past performance and ignore the much larger sample size that doesn't fit your narrative. Convenient "analysis".

Cespedes isn't very good at baseball and should be relied on for exactly nothing.

Or we can keep running out an right handed heavy lineup that cannot hit RHP. Surely our luck will change in that regard eventually, right? Our team has been so poor against RHP this year we probably won't make the playoffs, but if we do, surely we'll be facing studly RHP. Let's just cross our fingers our free swinging RHH club decides to learn how to hit it effectively that series!

Batting average is irrelevant. He has a career 135 wRC+ against RHP. That means he is 35% better against RHP than an average MLBer. Even in his down 2021, he had 119 wRC+, which would be good for the 3rd best hitter on the Sox against RHP. So yeah, he is an elite hitter against RHP. Sorry you don't like stats that matter.
