Disagree. White Sox could easily get 100 wins especially when you consider what division they play in. That lineup is legit. Learned that in the cornfield game.

Disagree somewhat. They need Tim Anderson. Don't see any reason to shop him. They could do without Moncada.

And the Brewers will score the first run of the season. And the Cubs tie it with a Sac fly as well.

And Nico Hoerner with the first HR of the year.

I have the White Sox winning 88 games, even in that division. I still have them winning it but I dont see them doing too much in the playoffs as of now. I think their rotation is strong as hell but I think their batting lineup is too flawed and problematic for them to make it far. I think Luis Robert is a potential All Star, not a potential MVP

As for Anderson / Moncada, you can't win with two low walk / high strikeout guys. Anderson's walk rate is atrocious. He led the league in batting average 2 seasons ago at .335, so you'd expect him to have an OBP close to .400. Nope, it was .357 which shows just how bad his plate patience is. Last year his average was well above league average .309 and yet his OPB was .338, which is average at best. And Moncada with 200 strikeouts in a season is just inexcusable

I'd probably pick Moncada if I had to trade one, simply because I know that Anderson's lack of walks isn't a huge overall detriment to his game and he'll still be successful in general behind the plate

Some valid points but why would they trade either? They are a world series contender. Not moving anyone of value.

This Suzuki kid looks pretty for real. I like his approach. Hasn't gotten out yet.

I disagree on that lineup. Now a fully healthy Eloy. That team is gonna rake and has one of the more difficult lineups to get through.

This is random. But man how old was Witt Jr when Greinke was a rookie as a Royal? Had to been like 4 or 5. Crazy to think about. That must of been about 04 or 05.
