WestEddy Posted June 23 Author Share Posted June 23 52 minutes ago, WhiteSox2023 said: How about drafting good players? For 5 years, Orioles drafted first, overall, twice, and had the 2nd pick in one draft. There's a little more room for error when you're getting two2 1st rounders and/or twp 2nd rounders every year. Mike Shirley is doing a much better job than Hostetler, and my wild conspiracy theory is that the Sox have done better picking later because the honchos didn't care about making the 22nd and 26th picks and let Shirley do his job. But in the top ten, JR, KW and Hahn all wanted their thumb prints on that top pick. We'll see how Getz does in three weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s impossible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg775 Posted June 23 Share Posted June 23 This is another one of those "Sox should not be in MLB" type game. Trot a guy name Cannon out there to get hammered. Not even competitive again. I wish they'd just contract the Sox. Mabe we could get an expansion team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get rid of Beni, play Lee every day, get our suddenly good starters to throw strikes so they can go 7 2/3 minimum and tell Kopech WE NEED YOU and maybe we got something here (til we trade everything away). Sheets and Vaughn are hitting just a bit of late. 21 hours later... 2 minutes ago, greg775 said: This is another one of those "Sox should not be in MLB" type game.

hi8is Posted June 23 Share Posted June 23 I would like to remind you all that I was first to coin Eloy as “The Glass House” - long, long ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So was Jordan Westburg — a 30th overall pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When your team is the worst in baseball and looking like one of the worst in 162 game season history, look to bash a much better team?

Highland Posted June 23 Share Posted June 23 Another one of those boring games with Schriffen telling us how competitive the Sox are. Eloy doesn't belong on the field right now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He made a slow jog to first base on what should have been a double. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buehrle>Wood Posted June 23 Share Posted June 23 I mean usually you guys are right with that stuff, but it's Eloy. Who cares, just play him when you can. If he gets hurt, that'll happen anyways. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he gets hurt, that'll happen anyways. I don't even fault them for rushing him or Yoan back. Maybe they'll go on a hot streak, and somebody takes them, or they put up any offense to justify their contracts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
