Anderson is OK.

Moncada is a bust but Madrigal is up June/July and deserves his shot.

Perhaps, but they seem committed to Anderson and Moncada for next season and expect both to improve. I wouldn't look for any overhauls at these positions.

Moncada needs to show drastic improvement. Anderson has gotten better and should be acceptable as the 8th or 9th place hitter provided he doesn't have his head up his ass during the first two months of the season like he did in 2017 and 2018.

Over pay. Won't get Harper overpaying but you will get Machado. What the fuck do we care how much he makes.

Then lets look at the more recent transactions of Adam Dunn, Adam LaRoche, Melky Cabrera, Matt Lindstrom, etc.

None of these contracts come close to what A- or B-Tier Free Agents were getting at the time. The largest of these was $14M AAV. Your Lindstrom example was 1 year at $2.3M, with a $4.0M club option.

:lol:

Is Harper/Machado looking for more than that?

I would still like them to take a look at Anderson in center field. :) :) :)

That's wrong. They traded for Thome and Vazquez. The 2006 White Sox were easily the best Sox team in my lifetime on paper. Yes, better than the 2005 World Series champs and the 1994 fantasyland champs. Unfortunately, you've got to play the games and going deep the year before had clearly taken the starch out of Buehrle and it eventually caught up to Contreras. And of course, the .500 pitcher Vazquez didn't suddenly win 20 games because he moved to a team that could provide more "run support". I'm not sure what you wanted Jerry to "spend money" on, as on paper that team was about as good as you'd want it to be.


I'll give you the Thome signing but other than that Reinny did not spend the necessary money to continue their run. I am talking about Reinny, a very very rich owner. Reinny needed to spend money and did not appreciably. Instead it was a short time til he cut pay-roll and brought over-the-hill guys like Dunn and others in. Why some White Sox fans defend this guy is puzzling to me. It is like that it is their money that he was spending. Reinny did not understand how the city was ripe for the White Sox to pretty much divvy the city in half back then. But he got CHEAP and has progressively gotten CHEAPER. I hate the son of a bitch.

They're more like the Cardinals than they are the Yankees, Red Sox, Cubs, or Dodgers, so I fear that dropping more than $200 million on a player is going to hamstring them for the future.


Given the lack of money committed outside of Tim Anderson, and Nate Jones (perhaps there is another player or two) beyond next season, they are flexibile to get involved with any free agent they want to consider - doesn't mean the player will sign with them, but the White Sox are set up to jump into the free agent market.

Question is (I haven't looked) - is there another Machado/Harper on the FA market for next season that the White Sox would look at?


THe only way that Reinny would spend any real money is if they get a commitment from major league baseball to MOVE TO VEGAS. Reinny is a f ing cheap bastard and he will never spend any real money in Chicago. He is going to try to take his money with him when he croaks.

This notion that "they are SET to jump into the free agent market" is ridiculous. What free agent in their right mind would want to join this organization. ANSWER...…… not one QUALITY top notch free agent :!: :!: This is one of the worst baseball teams in White Sox HISTORY and one of the worst in all of baseball. It would be one thing if they were only one or two players away but they are more like 7-8 good players away.

The Cabrera trade set the franchise back. I bitched about it here at the time too. The Sox not taking back the salary of Dontrelle Willis in order to get one of the greatest hitters of all time was dumb. Kenny Williams should have quit immediately when Uncle Jerry said no.

I just think that there are kids in the organization that can slot into short-stop well and would be better average guys in the line-up and that Anderson should at least be given a look in center field. He physical attributes would seem to be well placed in the outfield. NEver know though. A lot of people think that outfield is easy. Center field is not easy but Anderson certainly has the speed and throwing arm to play it. Whether he can read a ball off of the bat is a different thing.

Tim Anderson is a bench player at best on a championship team.

I am seeing Levine say 10 years $350M for Harper and calling Cubs a match. Um really? That’s a lot of luxury tax.
