If Cubs don't make playoffs, Counsell gets fired.

How close was Grant Taylor to making the list? He was in the running for #1 overall pick before arm surgery. Sox rolled the dice in early 2nd round and may have hit a grand slam. Was dominant after his return before a lat injury(Maybe caused by rust from layoff). He, Schultz and Smith are the future for us. Realistically, if two of these guys just don't get hurt, 2026-27 could be very different than today.

Truth be told, The Sox team with this group of players is actually being overpaid as a group. They are probably worth 57.2 million. And that's in baseball dollars. In uber driver money it's about $75.

If Quero remains healthy, he'll hit better than 95% of all catchers. His defense isn't a sure thing yet either. Still, not making the list is silly. He could move to another position and still be very valuable. Hit for average and solid power with a ton of walks plays just about anywhere.

Hits homers off bad pitchers. Probably won't help if they reach the playoffs.

I do too. It's called not buying tickets from the White Sox until 2026 at the earliest.

Noticed Peyton Pallette and Adler missing from bullpen estimate. I think they'll both be up by the All Star break . Maybe the pen will end up at zero. Could bump us up to 58 wins. That's the good news I guess.

Getz is too dense to have a real plan. I will give him credit for one thing. He appears to have figured out that more baserunners equals more runs scored. He's now trading for guys who will take a walk. Say what you will, but Ken williams and Rick hahn never could grasp that in over 20 years with the Sox. That one single fact makes him an improvement. The true test though is being able to tell the difference between athetes and actual baseball players.

when the Sox sign a guy like this, he ends up straning his groin walking in from the bullpen.....on opening day.

we're 4th after trading everyone. any other team could do the same. the trick is to draft and develope good players. that way you don't go 41-121. my january cynicism is starting to boil up to the top.

He was solid in the field. Still, you have to hit something. Seemed like a decent guy. Good luck in the future.

Perez' best attribute has always been his health. league average healthy pitcher is easily worth 5 million. He'll probably feel a little queasy many times this summer though.

probably could have waited for 2 bad outings in spring training to get these 2 junkball lefties free. aaron combs might end up being useful. sad part is if i know this our GM should too.

I long for the day when we acquire players to help us win. Getting guys in hope of flipping them at the trade deadline for a prospect is kinda like drinking Miller 64.

that makes you the smartest poster on Soxtalk by a mile.

I'd much rather play Bryan Ramos than Vargas at 3rd. Before he strained his stomach muscle, BR looked like a MLB player. Unfortunately that type of injury takes a while to get over. The last month of the season he was back to doing what he always has in the past. He's solid at 3b, is athletic and can hit. He's also 2 1/2 years younger than Vargas. Let MV fight it out with AV for 1B and DH. Hell, try him in LF against lefties. Just leave Ramos at 3rd. He is the closest thing we have to a MLB ready prospect.

The guy who voted for the bears has the same agent as Poles, Eberflus and Shane Waldren.

I'd say there's a 70% chance you get your way.

RIP Greg. I remember watching him on channel 5 as a kid. Really good at what he did.

Trade this turkey ASAP. The last link to a disastrous past. One top 100 and a young lottery ticket. I hate being harsh about Luis because he's not really an a#$hole. But that ship has sailed and the quicker we get to 2026 the better.

My son is friends with Vinnie. I met him last year up in Michigan on vacation. Nice, smart young man. Sorry to hear about his misfortune.

He actually did get to the majors last season. .286/.341/.400 in 35 at bats. Just about what he's done at every level.

2nd baseman from the Detroit organization via LA. He'll be 27 in May. It's not as bad as it sounds. He's always hit and will take a walk too. Defense is solid. He's Danny Mendick but younger.

6'2" 272 Go big or go home.

That's pretty funny. Like JR would ever give someone a bonus.
