The @whitesox have only $112 million as today. They also don’t pay taxes on stadium, rebuilt for 3 years, saved money during rebuild by having low payrolls, play in big market, new tv deal; yet we are hearing about a freaking budget? Almost $100 million below luxury tax. Pathetic
@Prospect_Tilt@JakeSwaggs22 Based on fit? Dude why do you have Lackey going to the White Sox? Have you not heard of Teel. Horrible fit. The pick will be Emerson or Roch. Lombard has a better chance than Lackey at 1. Unless it’s significant under slot I don’t get it?
Potential White Sox Lineup, at some point this year:
LF Antonacci (23 years old)
DH Murakami (26)
3B Vargas (26)
SS C. Montgomery (24)
C Teel (24)
2B Meidroth (24)
RF B. Montgomery (23)
DH Gonzalez (24)
CF Peters (26)
or something like that
All 26 or under.
@JamesFox917 Honestly, I think Emerson should be pick even if not true. I just think he is the best overall player in the draft & the has the highest upside. With the emergence of Gonzalez, Bonemer & Bergolla playing in the upper minors next year, I think we can afford to wait on Emerson
@JamesFox917@keithlaw James this ruined my good mood about the Montgomery walk off already. Are we seriously going to not pick a SS? What a nightmare scenario. We already have Teel
@JamesFox917@ChiSox96 Man Hill has been great and a valuable member in the clubhouse. Can pinch hit, had pop, plays defense, runs well. Going to miss him sad we can’t keep him in the organization
@JamesFox917 How does this roster work out? Pereira is out of options? When Mune Pereira are back, sounds like Hill & Hays will be traded or cut since they can’t come back as well. Bench when everyone is healthy: Pereira/Grichuk/Gonzalez/Quero. I like Hill and Hays so wish we could keep them
@scottmerkin Hey Scott, I was hoping to get any injury updates this week. Thorpe? Shane Smith? Shultz? McDougal? Teel? Murakami? Hays? When is Peirera back with the team?
@RLH73492489@schmit_jack@Sam_Phalen Ok. But at the deadline you basically have to overpay. But find me a deal where the number #15 overall MLB prospect was moved in July? Why does everyone want to abandon good progress because we can make the wild card? Does not running division for the next 10 years matter?
@ChiSoxFanMike Nobody is trading pitching in early June. By the time sellers emerge, those guys will be back. The problem was made this past offseason not getting more veteran help. Nobody sells in early June. Tigers won’t even listen on Skubal & they have one of the worst records in baseball
