Timmy U Posted July 29, 2023 Share Posted July 29, 2023 Just now, Heads22 said: Are there going to be new arms of any actual value that we will break in the rest of the year outside of relievers? Possibly not. But I think they are going to have a long audition process at the beginning of next year too. I think there's value in having a trusted guy at catcher to bring people along. Maybe not a ton. Will be interesting to see our pitchers when none of them have to throw to Grandal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no leadership in this clubhouse, none. Chuck and McGuffy have been saying the same thing for weeks. There is (or was) talent on the roster but no cohesion and no depth. Bring back AJ and Carlton Fisk to co- coach this team, they'll light a fire under this team or start a brawl trying. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smoldering remains of the White Sox start playing well cause sure 3. Win lotto I picked up my wife from work this evening and told her the Sox were busy making trades.

He had one outing for them, he sucked, and they waived him. 5 days later, he's pitching for the Sox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that's what we value, fine. There's even less of a reason to have Grandal on this team past the trade deadline, so Seby isn't even the top catcher I want moved. And if we think Perez actually isn't any good, then yes, keep him in the minors I guess. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Numbers game...with the 40 man management. There's always a possibility a big arm figures things out (late)...especially starting out a pro career from high school. A lot goes with the feeling you've kind of discovered a sense of home or comfort zone. Edited July 29, 2023 by caulfield12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreenSox Posted July 29, 2023 Share Posted July 29, 2023 Colas looked like he knew what he was doing when he went the other way on that RBI single. I like how they're just playing him regularly; he'll learn something every day and hopefully start to figure it all out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChiSox59 Posted July 29, 2023 Share Posted July 29, 2023 (edited) Sooo Lambert and Clevinger joining Shaw to fill out the roster tomorrow? Lambert and Padilla only 40 man options. Hopefully a waiver claim or two joins the pen next week or so as the options are gross atm and no reason to pitch Bryan Shaw.

The Dodgers ditched a couple of decent players from their 40 man to make room for Kelly and Lynn. I don't know what the Sox 40 man looks like, but if Shaw's on it, there's probably room for these guys. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was a number one pick for Arizona who I believe it was La Russa traded to the Braves as part of a salary- dump of some other player; kind of like a (bad) hockey GM does.

He may figure it out here and become a nice piece. Maybe just letting him pitch with no pressure he becomes a blessing for the Sox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
