I thought to myself you could sub me for Taylor St. Sox and it would still work. Except it'd have to be 5 beers.

He's a free agent and a fine defender. He is a league average hitter for a catcher and has never been labeled a jackass. Price range 2-3 million per x 2 years. Quiero won"t be taking over for a year or so. He's better than Corey if 2024 is that's all CL will hit. Seems like a guy who could be a good coach later on.

.266 average last year. Slugging average.

what about spring training?

Really, who gives a hoot?

3 years younger than Moldy. Actually has a history of hitting his way out of a wet paper bag. Hope it works out for everyone.

State of Illinois would be better off adding 250 million to any offer made by a new owner for the Sox. Beats the hell out of helping an incompetent arrogant fool build a new park.

hitting ball in air. good. how does he feel about walks?

Unusual path to say the least. Good signing compared to most older bullpen guys.

Empathy is a wonderful thing. Lacking it let's you know when you're dealing with a douche right up front.

Kopech coming in for the 9th. Trying to lock down game 3. I wonder what M. Vargas is doing right now. Probably working on dance moves for a rap video.

Saw the headline on MSN. Was totally pumped. Came here and learned the details. The ultimate click bate. Drop dead Jerry.

I bet Grady has already signed a contract. This is all window dressing.

Ouch:)

Getz is a dope. No doubt. But if you quit trading, you'll lose Crochet for a draft pick in 2 years anyway. When you have something great like GC, the competition will be stiff. Almost anyone can play a royal flush.

After this debacle, O's might finally be willing to trade for Crochet. It's nice to keep your best prospects, but missing your window of opportunity could get a GM fired.

When did Larussa take over challenges for the Bears?

I'll bet the Twins don't have the pitchers in the minors the Sox do. It probably won't happen because of injuries, but we really do have a chance at a big 3. Schultz, Smith and Grant Taylor stack up to any organizations best pitching prospects. We've already got Crochet, Cannon, Sean Burke, Iriarte and a few others now. Good pitching could help turn the team around in 2-3 years. don't forget the 4-5 relievers in the minors like Pallette, Adler and the Throwin' Samoan.

2nd worst babyy!!!

Noone can hit swinging at every pitch thrown to him. The other teams know this too. They start him out down and away and he swings anyway. He's lost his memory of what made him good. Is it the Sox's fault? They're both to blame. Benching him or telling him to take the first pitch for each at bat for a week might help.

I know he ain't the greatest, but Chris Flexen earned his dough this year. Sure, his fastball can be clocked with a sundial. He did take the ball 30+ times and never bitched about the stiffs we put behind him though.

I hope Crochet is pitching tomorrow. I also hope they bring up Schultz to pitch the last 4 innings for his MLB debut. F#$k the record.

Let's hear some noise for Sean Burke. Had his second good start in as many tries against the Padres today. Injuries and wildness have held him back until now. He really does have a plus arm. Keep up the good work Sean.

3 hits today. He may be a bust, but not yet. Try to remember some guys don't get it as soon as others. The best example of this in my lifetime was Mike Schmidt. Didn't reach the majors until 23. His rookie year he hit .196 with a .697 OPS. Then he put up the best 14 year run of any player in the last 50 years. The only exception is HGH boy Barry Bonds. The funny thing is Bonds was the same way. He had two solid years at 22-23 and then started winning MVP's. Would have been a first ballot HOFer without the juice, but he got mad at cheaters Sammy Sosa And Mark McGuire getting all the headlines.

Poor coaching, poor execution. Cheaped out on the offensive line. Oops, wrong post board. I'll be back with some White Sox snark in a second.
