White Sox defense looks pretty solid


Rendon had a shot at scoring if he was sprinting for the full 360 feet

Elvis Andrus is just glad someone else bumped him off the top spot this weekend.

First thing I noticed. If Rendon wasn't loafing he'd be at third at a minimum.

Good call using today as an off day for Bregman. He has hit well vs Manaea

The bats are angry my friends. Like an old man trying to send back soup at a deli.

The Rangers thread had a 7 day head start, yet only has about 350 posts to our 2k+. Where did their fan base go? I thought for years they were the best in the state!

If you ever do franchise mode on MLB the show, Yordan wins MVP almost every year even if you just simulate the season

He's a real life glitch

It still blows my mind that Yordan has a grand total of 91 games played. 105 hits and 88 RBI in 91 games. He's not a power hitter. He's a pure hitter with insane power.

And he still takes his walks

What is so impressive about Yordan is how easy and natural his power is.

Reminds me of Griffery Jr. So smooth and effortless.

That and the guy squares up everything. I don't think I've seen him hit a que shot or roll over a weak ground all. Even his outs are hit on the screws.

Yordan moved to cleanup today. TED to the 2 hole.

I'm trying to think of 2 players mixes, something like Chris Carter "easy" power, with the contact skills of Miguel Cabrera.

Urquidy on the mound. I'm on the As first 5 inning under 4.5. Seems like pretty solid value

Nice to see a couple Astros among the five greatest hitters of all time. Ted and Yordan.

That's good news is it holds out to be true. I honestly think they could wait until the first home game to start him.

We are in a dangerous position. If one more outfielder gets dinged up, we have no outfield depth on the 40 man without having to make a roster move. I know we have a bad history with trades with the blue jays, but I think they should look into picking up an outfielder from Toronto via trade. They are going to have an issue with too many outfielders once Springer comes off the IL. Grichuk seems to be the odd man out. Plays center field and would probably be an offensive upgrade over straw.

Let's hope it never comes to this, his hamstrings might explode if he has to crouch down like that for a whole inning.

I definitely think we should pick up an extra outfielder. Whether that's a super cheap free agent or by trade. that's why I was really surprised we cut Souza loose.

Maybe they think Garcia is our 5th OF if necessary

Ask for George back?

I think either him or Diaz. Diaz played some LF last year.

I can hear the Blue Jays front office laughing all the way from Canada.

Being 6'6" 245 kind of helps with that power. But, yes his swing is just about perfect.

Implementing this mid season would be pretty nuts
