Enough talent to be .500 or a tad above, but not enough to win the WS or make trades to do so.

IF they are winning because of guys like Avi, Anderson, & Davidson playing well, I am 100% fine with another 75 win season.

I told you there would be positive side effects to getting rid of Sale and Eaton. Stupid that they didn't get rid of Frazier, who is already tanking his trade value and poaching PA's from Saladino and Davidson.

If doesn't matter if the White Sox fielded a team of MLB All-Stars or a AA team; they'll end up finishing the season having between 73-79 wins.

I don't think there was a market for Frazier, at least not without eating a ton of his salary, not to mention the team acquiring him would have to enter either arbitration or offer him a new deal.

Considering Chris Carter--arguably more of a two-dimensional run-generating talent than Frazier is--got a measly $3.5MM from the Yankees, I doubt there was much interest in a guy making $6.5MM who was 20 points worse in wOBA.

He is making 12, not 6.

He is a much more versatile player than Carter but that does seem excessive in comparison.

KobiAshe is the one stealing AB from Davidson. Still, I like the idea of bringing him along slowly to start the year in a platoon. I want that platoon to end in the second half if he has shown himself worthy.

You are a dumbass. I mean 100% pure dumbass.

Anderson, Avi, Davidson, & Abreu are the only guys hitting in the same spot in the order. 5 of the guys in the lineup tonite did not start yesterday.

So the lineup is a lot different today than it was yesterday. Ooof.

He was making 7.5 last year (I mis-typed first time around), according to Cot's, hence the past tense.

They need to start selling some of the veteran pieces to get to the level of suck needed to draft Beer.
