@whitesox@CaesarsSports While I appreciate being open to different lineups early to find the right fits these are not it. Not sure what we're doing here.
@toddjdub@MrDelicious13 Two different circumstances that both warrant criticism.
Gonzales: looked bad on paper, has been as bad as it looked
Hagen: not necessarily a bad pick in a vacuum but, as many felt, left better players on the board.
Shouldn't write off hagen at all. Fair to judge the pick.
@RyanMcGuffey How are you going to QUANTIFY what success looks like this year? What key performance indicators does the team need to be constantly tracking?
@ChiSoxFanMike I think its a combination of several things: used some options, wanted space on the 40 man, no defensive versatility, concerning plate discipline they dont think they can fix. Maybe they could have put him on the 60 day IL? I'll admit i dont always fully understand 40 man logic.
@ChiSoxFanMike@JeffPassan My guess was 115m. I was fairly far off, I'm with you this seems like a bargain. Maybe a bit of a deal for an extra year and no trade clause.
@ChiSoxFanMike This is pretty well done. I think if some version of this were to actually happen sox fans would be thrilled. Quero for Crawford is a perfect trade both sides. Kenley is a target, 100%. Lenyn for Meyer is a stretch to me. Would be ecstatic if they could pull that off.
@ChiSoxFanMike Idk. The September usage in general is kinda all over the place. But vasil has come in in all sorts of situations and thrived. Hes been a good weapon to have, I think will just likes the versatility. So hes used to lengthen competitive portions of games, feels like.
@ChiSoxFanMike Needs to get sent down. I am okay that they gave him one more go in low leverage but he needs to reset his command. I still believe in the long term potential, hes shown it already.
