That wonderful time of year where Sox Machine runs the Offseason Plan Project. It’s time for White Sox fans to act as the general manager sharing how they would construct their roster for the upcoming 2024 season.
Josh Nelson and Jim Margalus break down the decisions that lay ahead for general managers.
The “Don’t know what it will cost, besides dignity” Plan:
I couldn’t get myself to actually make this the full Plan.
Just starting my draft and oh boy does Getz have his work cut out. No idea how you don’t just waive the white flag on 2024 and move onto doing things that make sense for 2025 but that is probably the direction I am going to go. Gotta think the budget is going to be much closer to 165 then 185 but we will see if Jerry keeps his word on actually wanting to pretend to contend in 2024.
Regarding a Rule 5 pick, it would be difficult to factor into an OPP, but drafting high can bring in a useful position player (or at least superior to a lot of what the Sox trotted out last season). Last year, Noda went second and Sabol fourth. After that was all pitchers.
