Balta1701 Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 11 hours ago, GreenSox said: Yeah, but they all play good D. He could’ve gotten guys for those prices that hit a little better, but who aren’t defensively solid. this wasn’t the year to invest real $ in free agents, even if they could. And if nothing else, and there probably isn’t much else, the Sox will have a first rate defensive team out there. They don't all play good D. They all have reputations for playing good D, sometimes several seasons ago. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ten D was the worst White Sox regular last season in terms of negative defensive fielding and position adjustment via f-WAR, though he (and Vaughn) were penalized for playing more than the rest by that metric. https://www.fangraphs.com/leaders/major-league?pos=all&stats=bat&lg=all&type=8&season=2023&month=0&season1=2023&ind=0&team=4&qual=0&sortcol=20&sortdir=asc&pagenum=1 All five White Sox with the worst defensive fWAR fielding + position adjustment remain with the team. -14.4 Benintendi -14.3 Vaughn -12.7 Jimenez -9.2 Sheets -8.4 Colas -3.9 Burger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And why does one of them look like bootleg Zach Lavine? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not quite the contrast as when Muggsy Bogues and Manute Bol walked past me when they were with the Bullets and I was an Andy Frain Usher postgame at the Chicago Stadium. That was crazy, looked like a dad and his small child, then again I and just about everyone else looked very small compared to Manute. he was so skinny, he was the most unique looking person I've seen in person. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shoeless_joe21 Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 I'm so proud that I recognized Fedde, but it's only because I had just looked at his profile yesterday. I also learned that his nickname is "Feddeccine," which is delightful. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChiSox59 Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 I was perusing the Sox roster resource page and I saw they signed former top prospect Lucius Fox to an milb deal last week. Maybe I missed it but hadn’t seen that mentioned on here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
