    I gotta figure they want him to cut down the K a bit more before he gets promoted. ya, no. He's destroying AA pitching, why would they want him to change his approach? Look as long as he'd playing good defense in CF and OPSing close to .900 why mess with success? Because he's just like Brett [expletive] Jackson? Who hit .260 in AA. Is he just like Brett [expletive] Jackson who hit .297 his first 185 AAA ABs at the same age as Bryant? Nevermind that I'm not saying they're equivalent prospects but it's silly to say who cares what his K rate is, look at the pretty numbers only!! Especially when there's not exactly a playoff race we're anxious to get him ready for.

    So weird.

    They traded their closer for a 3B prospect, signed Abreu, and traded a SP w/ 4 years of team control for an OF w/ 5 years of team control. My biggest complaint with Theo and Jed is that they haven't done more in the trading market, but is there really a chasm here? For this past offseason? Certainly. We sat around waiting on a guy we figured we weren't going to sign and then shrugged our shoulders and said oh well.
  5. SouthSideRyan
    The White Sox had the farm system in place pre-Hahn that everyone tries to pretend we did pre-Theo/Jed. With the same number of OMG Albatross contracts to boot.
  6. SouthSideRyan
    Any of Watkins, Vitters, or Szczur would be better options off the bench than having Travis Wood as one of your bats off the bench. They're not stellar, but neither's Ryan Kalish, let's have a 14 man staff!
  7. SouthSideRyan
    He only makes 1.5M/Y less than Jackson, and the contract as a whole is worth 16M more. ETA: My bigger annoyance in contrasting the 2 is the White Sox actually making an attempt to improve the team, rather than fiddling for 4 years waiting on prospects. There's been a sucking void of creativity here coming from some of the smarter minds in baseball
  8. SouthSideRyan
    Hopefully we stop having a 13 man staff at some [expletive] point this season.
  9. SouthSideRyan
    I just really hope our FO isn't making decisions based on the type of things that got Jim Hendry laughed out of town.
  10. SouthSideRyan
    I bet it would have been as exciting as our going after Tanaka
  11. SouthSideRyan
    You really think he'd last until our 2nd pick?
  12. SouthSideRyan
    Is Paniagua important enough to spin the wheel of bizarre minor league "injuries." If so, I'll go with cataracts
  13. SouthSideRyan
    You feel Garza's attitude affected the club's performance in any way? They must've got hotter than [expletive] once they dumped that cancer off the team
  14. SouthSideRyan
    I've seen no indication that the 2 sides are close on money, nor has Shark shown any desire to stick around for more of this.
  15. SouthSideRyan
    I honestly don't think it's been decided. Do you think it wasn't decided last June when they said there were still discussions to extend Garza?
  16. SouthSideRyan
    With my increasing belief that we'll see no top prospects called up this season(Maybe Alcantara?), I guess Samardzija's first comments after being traded is what I'm most looking forward to this season? I wouldn't get my hopes up. I'd say maybe something a little passive-aggressive, but that's about it. Maybe Garza will just have hour long press conferences every time Milwaukee visits Chicago.
  17. SouthSideRyan
    He didn't wear down in 2012, so I doubt it was that.

    For Rondell White? I think we got him from Minnesota? Maybe with Rick Aguilera? [expletive] yea

    So Strop is bad and hurt now.
  22. SouthSideRyan
    Where the hell did the White Sox dig up this pitching staff from. I just read their BR page, and out of 19 guys who have pitched for them this year, I could've guessed 5.
  23. SouthSideRyan
    And no there's no chance of us playing at a level where the FO would decide to keep him
  24. SouthSideRyan
    It's a little less than 2/3 IIRC due to early April off days and the all star break
  25. SouthSideRyan
    Assuming we're bad again next year I can't imagine a scenario where he'd come back
