He's such an enigma. He looks fantastic one inning and awful the next.

Peavy44, Caulfield, and Greg

I've been thinking about this all day and I'm torn. On one hand, I'd rather have the Sox spend money on a potential star rather than blowing it all on more mediocre players (like they did this offseason), but the terms Hector mentioned don't make a lot of sense to me. Spending that much just to get one additional year of control seems like a questionable move. I'd have to hope there would be 2 or 3 team options tacked onto the end of it. That would make more sense from the Sox perspective.

This place is going to be unbearable god forbid Eloy struggles out of the gate

This forum is something else

I love Eloy and think he is going to be great, but why give a guy 100 million when they weren't willing to give a superstar in Manny Machado an extra 50 million to get him to sign here? It makes no sense.

Another thread where Ron trashes Abreu. Shocking.

This is by far the least excited I have seen the fanbase in the several years I have been on Twitter. Sad but not surprising.

You know it's bad when the Browns are more relevant than the Sox.

Brad Keller? Wow, things turned south quickly in Kansas City.

I bet Nova doesn't even make it to July with the Sox. He's going to be worse than Giolito.

Ivan Nova is a bum

Jace Fry has pitched like shit all spring.

Anderson is having a fantastic spring. Not that it means anything given that they're just exhibition games, but it's nice to see regardless. Hoping this is the year where he takes a big leap.

Exactly. To be fair, Martinez is a lot better than Dunn was when the Sox signed him, but he's going to be 32 at this time next year. Not exactly a spring chicken.

JD Martinez is a stud, but I could totally see him being one of those guys on the wrong side of 30 whose performance falls off a cliff once they sign with the White Sox. It would be so predictable.

My targets, in order: 1. Chris Sale or Gerrit Cole 2. Xander Bogaerts 3. J.D. Martinez 4. Nick Castellanos 5. Yasmani Grandal But after seeing this offseason unfold, I'd be shocked if they got any of them.

Jimmy Rollins

It's not going to happen, but I wouldn't mind this. Get a prospect or two along with Zimmerman, trade Abreu for another prospect, then bring Abreu back next offseason. They're going to stink this year anyway, so they might as well really stink and at least get a couple more prospects out of it.

You have no hope for Reynaldo Lopez, a guy who put up a 3.91 ERA and 3.1 WAR as a 24 year old and isn't even close to hitting his peak. Alrighty then.

Harper would have paid for himself and then some in no time. Jerry Reinsdorf is too much of an idiot to realize that though.

Must be nice to have an owner that actually wants to win.

I think Robert will follow the same path as Eloy. End this season in AAA and then get called up in mid April 2020.

Yeah Busch Stadium is nice. I've already gone there but I'd go again. I've been to pretty much every stadium in the Midwest, I try to go to a stadium a year with my dad.
