It feels like there's a small segment of the White Sox organization that's modernized and an overwhelming majority of it is stuck in 2006.

Fegan's articles mentioning him have me hoping he replaces Coop after this season. It seems a bit dysfunctional the Sox don't have a pitching coach using the same techniques at each level of the organization.

The Sox finally benefiting from a player making alterations to their swing would be nice. Hopefully this is the new Zack Collins.

Adam Engel as well.

Going to be very intriguing to see how Collins' new swing looks in September. Batting average up to .295, the K rate is very manageable, etc. He's 2-3 with a HR tonight.

Wouldn't shock me if he's a worse Kris Davis, it also wouldn't shock me if he lowers his K% to ~20% and hits 40+ dingers with a high batting average. His minor league profile was about as strong as you could possibly want from a power hitter.

Wish the Sox were more aggressive in their roster churn during this rebuild. Enough of Engel and Covey, specifically. We know it's never going to happen for them.

He had a 13% K rate in 228 AAA PA's last season. There was every reason to expect him to come in and be a higher average, elite power, low strikeout guy from the beginning. What we've season this season is that he's a hacker who struggles to elevate the ball on anything middle or below. I'm hopeful the second part can be addressed with a swing change/alteration which is sorely needed.

Not pressing the panic button by any means, but his strikeout rate and ground ball rate both alarming right now.

Nelson Cruz and his 160 wRC+ would look pretty sweet in this lineup on opening day next year.

Praising a team that's on pace for 98 wins seems pretty fair. Not every team can be the Yankees, Astros, or Dodgers.

Signing free agents to improve your team is a pretty neat idea.

I would guess Stone doesn't agree with Moncada having been the Sox best offensive player this season. Hearing he and Benetti have a conversation about that could have been enlightening. But alas. That already happened to some extent on Sunday over RBI's.

They do. Renteria lead the majors in ejections in 2017.

I very much hope Bumgarner signs with the Sox this off-season. He has been terrific this season and seems like as good of a bet as you'll find to age well into his 30's.
