ChiSox59 Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 Nice. Fan of Rubber Arm Shaw. Will certainly see him on the Southside at some point this year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squirmin' for Yermin Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 I will say I like the NRI much more this year than prior years. Seems like a better direction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buehrle>Wood Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 Nice. He's great. If our bullpen needs leadership as has been said, then he's it. I've said it before but I can't imagine Kopech crying about pitching with a hang nail around this guy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timmy U Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 Their 40 man decisions are going to be interesting. They’ve got like 20 guys in camp who will not be in baseball in 2 years. If your 40 man includes Pillar, Chavez, Shaw to along with Stassi and Maldonado, they’ll have the oldest roster in the division and they’ll have to cut a bunch of guys to get to 40, let alone 165. Maybe it will get them closer to 75 wins? But if these guys prove to be washed up, their overall talent level will really crater because they had to release some of their potential replacements. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Middle Buffalo Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 I’m not thrilled about the talent level of most of the acquisitions this winter, but it feels like all these scrap heap additions are being made with professionalism as a major part of their skill set. We had a bad mix last year for whatever reason - lacking leadership and cohesiveness. Hopefully this reset of the clubhouse culture leads to some positive results. Maybe we catch lightning in a bottle with a few and have some trade fodder at the deadline. Or, dare I say, actually compete. Must be spring training if I’m feeling any level of positivity. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Royals lost more games than the Sox this past season...and yet every one of their moves have been about competing THIS season rather than kicking the bucket down the road. https://www.mlb.com/news/john-schreiber-traded-to-royals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quin Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 The White Sox are Bryan Shaw's booty call and this is amusing to me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wegner Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 Outstanding My fantasy of Pedro using Shaw as the opener every other game lives... he's gonna use him at some point in the game anyways so just get it over with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Beast Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 I liked having a guy in the one who just went out and pitched. Shaw performed decently last year so I want to keep him around. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcq Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 Their lack of talent plan is to have cast-offs compete for jobs. That won't even get you to Opening Day. They could do better hoping some Dodgers end up in the wrong clubhouse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
