Can you imagine San Diego having to go back to their fans to say they had a seat at the table... with the Chicago White Sox??? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the reality that they can't pick any better than 10th overall in the 2025 draft, there really is no incentive to just be straight awful. They might as well try whatever they can to extract as much value as they can from the roster this season. Hopefully, Pham can come in and provide SOMETHING that can help this team in the future.

Dick Allen Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 I'm just wondering where he's going to play. Benintendi is playing because JR is paying. Fletcher in CF, and Grossman in RF. Sheets will probably get OF reps with Eloy back. Even in Pillar is cut, he ain't playing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Falstaff Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 Tommy is a pros pro, no nonsense guy. He will bring value to the club and could mentor some of the youngsters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeC Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 I feel like this is a signing that should have happened 12 months ago, from a clubhouse standpoint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hell. Release Grossman and Benintendi and go with Pham, Fletcher, Colas and Pillar, until Robert comes back 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harold's Leg Lift Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 I think Pillar is gone. Pham will play almost everyday (that's why he signed here) either in LF/CF. Sheets will shift between RF/1b and Grossman and Fletcher between CF/RF. Benintendi is going to see his PT greatly reduced. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What gives? Signing guys in the offseason with a clean record versus signing additional free agents after the worst historic start in team history? Yeah, there’s no difference here. C’mon… At least when the Sox had a 0-0 record, it made some sense. But you already knew the answer to your question before you posted this drivel. If you want to argue signing guys to flip them at the deadline then Taylor is still more desirable because he can actually play defense. The fact that no team wanted Pham before the season started already shows you aren’t going to get much for him in a trade unless he tears the cover off the ball when they finally add him to the team.

It's amazing how getting off to one of the worst starts in the history of baseball makes people question someone's ability to GM. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taylor is still a starting CF, and probably wouldn't have come to Chicago to be the weak half of a corner OF platoon. Pham had offers all winter. He just thought he'd get more. You're a guy who complains that every cheap contract on the team is a player being overpaid. You should be happy the Sox stayed firm, and probably got Pham for a much lower payroll hit in April than they would have in January. Taylor is currently OPSing .609 in Pittsburgh. If he were doing that in Chicago, you'd be railing on that you could have told us before ST he would suck that bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They opened the year facing like 5 lefties in a row or something like that. I had to drop Suwinski in a league because he was sitting for the lefties so much and sucked when he was playing. Taylor will be primary CF I’m sure. Edited April 25 by Bob Sacamano 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
