On the bright side, this seems to be a pretty happy place to play in general. The media is pretty easy going, and the fans aren't awful towards most players. There isn't hte NEw York/Boston/Philly types of external pressures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember posting best of luck to Wheeler dodging batteries in Philadelphia....some guy here ripped into me informing me how awful Sox fans were....of course bringing up the white trash Ligue idiots as his example. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway look forward to Phillies signing conforto in an hour. It's way past an hour and nothing happening on the Conforto to PHilly front. Guess the Sox arn't the only team not willing to risk last years stats at Conforto's asking price which is dropping daily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sox are a fairly low stress environment to play in compared to some of the others. The media is generally team owned, and tame. The fans aren't NEARLY as aggressive as some of the other markets. I mean you can find anger if you look for it, but in general, anger isn't coming to look for them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trading pitching prospects for OF prospects is a solid strategy. I wouldn't mind seeing a couple more corner outfielders being traded for in MiLB deals. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Four picks ahead of Jake Burger. Bats and throws lefty. Can play CF. Unimpressive offensive numbers in parts of 3 seasons in the Bigs. Reinsdorf's annual Catch Lightning in a Bottle Project. What an affront to the base not to commit to real quality difference makers. A glorious day in my life when this nightmare regime is gone.

As long as he’s not giving up stud prospects for the duds, we’re making progress on the learning curve. Haseley is 25 years old too, not an old pitcher. This is new.

Balta1701 Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 If the white Sox had signed this years equivalent of Nick Williams, Brian Goodwin, and Billy Hamilton to a minor league deal - those are decent money right? If it’s right, Spotrac shows $2.28 million between those three last year? So if it costs $1 million to sign a guy to stash at Charlotte, and this guy gets $10k or whatever pittance they pay minor leaguers, this is a cost saving move compared to signing a vet. Did I get this right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsider2k5 Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 Going to guess this is Andrew Vaughn insurance for today, but Eloy and Robert insurance in the longer run. With a 28 man roster, I am going to guess he breaks camp with the squad just for evaluation and teaching reasons and then we see how it goes.

We’ll see how good his defense is with a 47% falloff in speed from two seasons ago…we usually don’t “coach up” players unless it’s getting surprising offense at catcher from the likes of Narvaez and McCann. Likely will still be much better than Eloy, Sheets and Andrew. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
