The twins still have a very good farm and are likely the WS biggest competition for the division title in 2021 imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Parkman Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 I'm done making grand declarations about how good x player is going to be for the remainder of the next 2.5 seasons. I've been so wrong on Moncada and Giolito that I'm just going to let it play out and let the play on the field do the talking. No more getting attached to prospects. Take everything I said previously and throw it out. At this point, I'm questioning whether I know as much about baseball as I thought I did. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is my retort when people are overly pessimistic about the future of the White Sox rebuild, too. But I think it would be impossible to overstate the gap in front office intelligence + player development ability of the Astros compared to the White Sox.

For the love of god, take a breather from White Sox baseball. All you do is b**** & whine about the same things over & over and are single-handedly bringing down the quality of the site. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sir Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 5 minutes ago, Jose Abreu said: I’m not trying to be sarcastic or pretentious; genuinely, if that’s how you feel, why are you a fan? Why not root for a team that better aligns with your preferences? I can't speak for footlong, but I've rooted for this team for 25 years. That started when I was six. I moved to a foreign country in that time frame, long before MLBTV was a thing, and later I went off to participate in a war, and even if I haven't watched every game because the circumstances in my life were too severe, I've at the very least checked the box score following every game, in every season, for two and a half decades. This is as much part of me as my own name. I can't walk away simply because the FO is incompetent for what is a relative sliver of time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, i hit the 6 to many times. It was first 166 games. But yes, the OPS was .640. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given the struggles of Yoan and Anderson, it's hard to see how Steverson sticks around after this season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Allen Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 If the Sox don’t win tonight, and it is not looking very good, they are going to have to pretty much run the table the rest of the season to make the playoffs, and even that is probably not good enough. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
