How many players on the 40-man can bring back more than a decent AA middle infielder, RF, or second best starter?

2, and you can't build around 2 players. See Angels. So trade them. Then start the fuck over with a baseball guy, not an accountant or a "tools" guy. Then see you in 5 years because I don't want to be the Giants. Gotta go down to the studs again.

If they don't gut their minor league player development staff, it's not going to matter.

Here is a scary fact: the four highest bWAR position players drafted and signed by the White Sox in the second round of the draft: Ryan Sweeney, Johnny Oates (yes, the former catcher and manager from the 60s), Trace Thompson, and Jeremy Reed.

That's a load of trash. At least Reed was used to acquire Freddy Garcia.

It's up to the GM, but yeah, seems the thing to do. We're going on 15 years of garbage in, garbage out. I can't think of anything to be proud about. They fail at everything. Hell, they are still wearing 40 year old clown outfits on Sundays. It's all pathetic.

Almost everything. We've won the BP/Crosstown Cup a few times!!

Nice way to start the second half: walk, walk, HBP, grand slam and the bullpen is up already.

ETA: and Kopech is out after 34 pitches, 2 outs and runners on first and third, already 4-0.

4 runs, 1 hit, Kopech out.

The dream of Kopech being good is gone.

The entire season is a waste. He couldn't throw a fastball for a strike to save his life; they need to put him on the IL and let him do a couple of rehab starts in Charlotte to find his release point, and then bring him back for a half dozen four inning starts and call it a year.

He just came off the IL. Either he is seriously hurt--again-- or mentally he just can't play in the big leagues.

If I were the owner of a baseball club that has played like this team has this year, I'd put all of them on suspension bring up a collection of players from every level in your minor league system and play it out till the end. this team quit and its all of their fault, including of course the manager, GM, Coaches and the team president.

Couldn't hurt. Or how about going out and trying some presidential pedophilia.

It aint the six minutes. Its what happens in those six minutes.

On the road against the best team in MLB, 4-0 after the first four batters, and the White Sox win the series.

Baseball.

Timmay has performed a little better since he's moved to #2 in the batting order. He really couldn't have gone anywhere except up, but its something.

Additionally, Benintendi has been hitting quite well since moving to the leadoff spot. .807 OPS over the last month. .321 avg, .375 OB%, with 12 steals as the leadoff man.





Cue vaccinated genius to point out he only has 1 HR.

This team sucks.

It also pissed me off that they showed a highlight of the Sox from 2016 (the worst Sox season ever, if you ask me). It was their last fun win of the year, when Matt Albers (batting lefty!) smacked a double in extra innings.
