Can't Pitch, Can't Hit

Obviously it's time to start the sell-off.

What kind of package you think they can get for Gunnar?

They better dig up Babe Ruth and a time machine for Gunnar and Adley.

    • We could see the pitchers just get shut down.  I know the Angels were doing this with pitchers drafted in their draft year.   Fall instructs are also very useful.  Most of the NCAA bats only spent a week in the FCL.  I imagine we'll see them just go to Delmarva.   For comparison's sake, EBJ debuted in the FCL on 8/4 last year, and in Delmarva on 8/9.  Maybe we see a bit of a delay for Honeycutt since he waited longer to sign.  
    • Bud, Chum, Pal. You accused me of damaging the board's metrics. That's an attack.  You couldn't defend your actual point so you decided to try and whisper into Tony's ear that I'm hurting his bottom line. I view that as being pretty low. But you be you.   But thanks for introducing me to Stealmanning.  I wasn't familiar with that term.  
    • I’d call 600k a couple hundred k to an mlb team. That’s basically a mlb vet minimum salary for a whole year. One of Irvin’s biggest appeals is his cost control over the next two years. MLB teams are actively claiming folks with 800k contracts and then sending them to the minors - which means they will now pay them like 250k to play aaa or aa. fangraphs has the white Sox 2024 estimated salary as 148mm . If they make decisions based of 600k, they deserve to be the worst team in baseball (not just them, but using them as an example).    
    • As another poster pointed out, we're 8-1 out of the break in games that Burnes, Grayson, and Eflin, start.  1-7 with the others.  Now that the others consist of Kremer and Rogers versus Kremer, Suarez, Povich, and McDermott, I expect us to have more consistent/better results going forward.   The bullpen is coming together too.   It would be really good to secure home field advantage, and avoid the first rd.  
    • Weird discussion going in here IMO. There's just not that much reason to focus on Eloy Jimenez, lol. If he hits, fantastic.  If he doesn't, Westburg will hopefully be back. Or Kjerstad.  For now he seems like a good enough mercenary to add, and I detect no bad clubhouse vibes.
    • I'm not attacking you.  If the bullying word fits then that is for you to ponder over and possibly change. - Incessant questioning?  Check - Strawmanning/Stealmanning?  Check - Nitpicking how people say something versus their overall point?  Check - Deterring differing opinions that vary from your own thoughts or accepted group think?  Check - Needing the last word?  Check Maybe some self reflection is in order.  That's on you bud, not me.
