Pal said we are unwilling to go to 4 years. Meanwhile Plan B,C and D are now gone. The FO and good, thoughtful, realistic planning go together about as well as peanut butter and WD-40. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, they say that’s the only way they have more money to spend. That seems likely to go towards pitching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought someone said the Kimbrel thing was irrelevant...like even if they moved him they weren't gonna use the savings to make another big signing.

I really don't know. Heard Pederson was making a decision today and feared it was the Sox. I'd rather go with the current platoon than Joc personally. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Parkman Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 (edited) Reynolds and Meadows are in Arb 1 so they shouldn't be that expensive in terms of money. Maybe acquiring either of those two is still doable. Edited March 16, 2022 by Jack Parkman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a scaphoid fracture? He went 3 months without treatment. There is a good chance that he will lose significant wrist ROM. That is tough to come back from if it's treated immediately. This will be an interesting one to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd rather go with the current platoon than Joc personally. The current platoon contains 2 first basemen and the man of glass. Although I'll say Vaughn is fine in LF. I'd trust Joc vs righties more than sheets though. Edited March 16, 2022 by Look at Ray Ray Run Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two-Gun Pete Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 2 hours ago, michelangelosmonkey said: Thanks Pete. No worries. I tried reading through your previous post, and let's just say that I disagree with you. 34 year olds-going-on 35 year olds typically don't get better at baseball, unless they're on the cream and the clear. But since there's PED testing, I doubt that Harrison will ever eclipse 2 fWAR, let alone 1 fWAR before he retires as a White Sox. Similarly, 34 year old pitchers typically don't magically discover new velo and spin rates. Especially soft-tossers like Keuchel. And no, it doesn't take much imagination to envision Velasquez doing poorly, because, ya know, bad players like Velasquez typically play poorly. Taken together, it doesn't take much to see that this team is worse now than it was at last season's end. Meanwhile, other teams have taken steps to improve. But hey, if you're a beacon of positivity, you do you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
