Dam8610 Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 Robert, Anderson, Montana, and Eloy were supposed to be giving this team 20-30 WAR. They provided 6.7 WAR. That's why this team wasn't in the playoffs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had no idea they couldn’t stay on the field when they signed them. The only one who really missed significant time in the minors was Robert. The rest of them were relatively healthy.

Anderson has already put up close to 5 WAR, Moncada did in 2019, Robert was supposed to be the next Mike Trout (that's why he was paid so much at 18), and Eloy was supposed to be an all bat 4 WAR guy. If you get 5 from Tim, 6 from Yoan, a bad Trout season from Robert (so like 8 ) and 4 from Eloy, that's 23.

greg775 Posted October 25, 2022 Share Posted October 25, 2022 (edited) I just thought of something. Right now everything about the White Sox is depressing. Don't jump on me but I have a way to turn frowns into high fives. Hire Ozzie as manager, sign Abreu, then get to work on a stellar rotation and stellar defense. Pitching and defense wins pennants baby, not lift and pull. Oz was a fun Sox shortstop; an enjoyable slap hitter and Abreu is good luck charm. Also bring back Renteria in some capacity. Karma baby, needs to change. Edited October 25, 2022 by greg775 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pcq Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 Robert and Yo are top under-achievers. Sox would need a 30 man roster of stars to cover for them. No not Leury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yermin, a Q: You don't like Abreu but seem to think it's reasonable a great organization like Houston would want him. Isn't this a total non sequitir? Why would the Astros want a player that u deem so flawed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

he gone. Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 On 10/18/2022 at 9:04 AM, he gone. said: Here are my likely guesses for his destination: Astros - this is what i'm talking about ... how am i supposed to be a sox fan when you let our top player over the last decade walk and he goes and signs against the top team we're supposed to overcome? yuli contract is up. he's such an easy candidate to slide in. it makes so much sense. welp. But just further cements that Sox have no real legitimate shot to win it all. at best they'll have a phillies like shot ... this is a race between the top dogs again. mired in mediocrity ... mediocrity during our "championship window" is just moved from 80-84 wins to 84-90 wins. Still no legitimate shot. 2nd place organization. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
