Harold's Leg Lift Posted February 26, 2024 Share Posted February 26, 2024 I wish I could say I'm surprised about people getting their panties in a bunch about a live BP session (good lord) on Feb 26 but I'm not. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
South Side Hit Men Posted February 26, 2024 Share Posted February 26, 2024 On 2/26/2024 at 5:50 PM, ChiSox59 said: The Dom Fletcher hate is kinda weird. Guy has the potential to be the best Sox RF since 2016 Adam Eaton. Now that isn't a huge bar to clear, but he looks like a pretty easy 2 WAR floor guy, with upside for quite a bit. Not sexy by any means, but a nice role player type. This Adam Engel comp is nuts and doesn't even make sense. Expand It’s not about like or hate. It’s about assessing what the Sox need to do to build the first credible sustained core since Himes did and was shitcanned for his efforts. Dumping future solid prospects for players who at best can possibly contribute a couple wins on current and future 60ish win teams is not smart. I don’t care whether Jerry, Tony, Getz and Pedro continue to lie out of their asses about this not being a rebuild. This is a complete tear down and rebuild. If they want to improve the current team, find, spend some money on legitimate free agents. If not, stop doing stupid s%*# and spend your time efforts on building the future, not being a boarding home for senior league baseball or mortgaging the future for Grindy McGrinder and MLB Senior League tryouts. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mena has been there for 3 weeks and is already topping at 96. Dumb trade, Sox are idiots and can't develop talent. Expand If this article was written about literally anyone else but Mena, Sox fans would be blowing this off as spring training fluff. 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
