It's fine, but he is an aging, beat up little shit. Hopefully, he has one more productive year in him. Also, has he figured out how to hit 1st base in stride?

Answer: No.

Go ahead and make the argument Sir.

Bernstein and Sir hate him because of what he represents, not because of his work on the field

To use a phrase Bernsie likes - the Eaton signing seems to be making all the right people mad. Gotta like it for that alone.

Herb is also going nuts on Twitter about it.

Platoon with Engel. He starts about 95 games. Gives you his 95 game production with Washington in 18 which was .301/.394/.411

I don't get hating the move. If he doesn't perform Engel is there, and it's only a one year deal.

I mean if Sox fans want to be mad , shouldn’t it be directed at Hahn? Or is this another move that was done without the poor put upon Rick Hahn’s approval ?

The more the 670 crowd hates this move, the more I love it. Fuck them. They are against the Tony LaRussa hire as well for all of the wrong reasons. TLR is probably going to be the reason we get Lynn to sign and extension here anyways and brought in a prime coaching staff that will help this team get to the next level.

Bernsie said as much to Stone yelling no one will like him in the clubhouse.

Probably. But he won't get the chance. I expect Hahn to be gone soon. Fucking White Sox.

Seems like the recent White Sox activity is living rent free in the staff of 670's.

Tony LaRussa, Lance Lynn, Adam Eaton. This should all feel familiar to White Sox fans.

But it is not what the GM wanted. Hope it works out.

He lasted about 80 seconds on the air with DeFalco before saying he had enough. LaRussa question annoyed him.

I don't care about the clubhouse stuff. Who even knows what's true. Same thing about players "liking" LaRussa. Who cares? Play ball.

My beef is that he appears to be in decline, gets injured often, and stops them from getting a better player or seeing if Engel could be that guy. And it seems like a typical Jerry/Kenny move- go cheap and hope to get lucky.

They weren't getting Springer for both internal and external reasons.

Everyone else was going to be a player with some warts.

I actually think this is great for Engel. He becomes the LHP side of a platoon, expanding his role from last year. He has hit .313 and .303 in consecutive years against LHP. He also hit well against RHP last year but it was the first year for it and in limited action. Maybe he continues his development and grabs the full time roll for 2022.

What are the reasons they weren't getting Springer? And I like Brantley better anyway. I don't consider this a big move. It's just typical of the Sox.

Externally, it was my understanding he told his suitors he wanted to play CF, which he would never do with the Sox. Internally, I don't think the Sox could win a bidding war with the new Mets management.

Brantley isn't very good in the field any more and he has played almost no games in RF in his career. Also, I really like his bat and maybe they can get him as a DH but he isn't some big power hitter either.

Okay, let's forget about Springer. They wanted a lefty. Brantley is a strong lefthanded bat. The Sox have plenty of power already. Brantley should get his 15-20. And in an era when there are so many Ks I'm not too concerned about defense on the outfield corners.

I remember when Bernstein tore into him when Engel said, "Why can't we all just call ourselves Americans?" or some such. Eaton's apology wasn't good enough.
