He was very good with Mets and has been a 4.5-6 WAR player in 3 of the last 4 years. He is in his prime and as I mentioned earlier - was very good with Mets down the stretch. I know he has off field / other stuff - but as a pure baseball player - he is very good and physically gifted. Again - if I'm going to invest - he's the type of talent I don't mind going LT with (with my caveat - he obviously has had some issues in how he has handled himself). Expand It’s just in comparison to Correa. Facing Biaz > facing Correa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

South Side Hit Men Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 Rodon and Buxton will make life difficult for the Sox in select games. Minnesota still needs a ton of pitching to return to being a consistent threat to the Sox. The Sox scored 123 runs last year vs. the Twins, vs. 106 vs. Detroit, 81 vs. Cleveland, and 72 vs. Kansas City. Hopefully the Sox will stop destroying the careers of their own players who are trying to defeat the Twins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romeo_Santiago81 Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 I'm not worry about Rodon haunting White Sox love what he showed last year much props to him but still showed he is not durable going into playoffs. I am more worry what the Tigers are building, expediting their rebuilding plan. It is almost like Tigers making moves White Sox should have made, starting with their manager and making power moves with pitching and hitting, come on White Sox make those counter power moves! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

South Side Hit Men Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 Hopefully the Sox can outbid Detroit and Pittsburgh for Leury’s services. Otherwise it’s Yolmer / Mendick time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
