Some names to keep an eye on Joe Girardi Raul Ibanez - Dodgers Special Assistant to GM Brad Ausmus - Angels Special Assistant Brandon Hyde - Cubs Bench Coach/Has ties to the Sox Chris Woodward - Dodgers Third Base Coach Sandy Alomar Jr. - Indians First Base Coach/Has ties to the Sox Bo Porter - Braves Special Assistant Jayce Tingler - Rangers Special Assistant Josh Paul - Angels Bench Coach/Has ties to the Sox/Angels Catcher who dropped the third strike on AJ in the 2005 ALCS I was all for the Sox going after and hiring Gabe Kapler to replace Robin Ventura. Now, I still want someone who fits that mold.

Nice way to start the game by Moncada. And I will never understand batting Anderson 7th if the Sox are serious about his development. They need to bat him higher in the order where he can get more at bats and more at bats of consequence.

I don’t mind the loses but I can’t stand the poor fundamentals

This poor communication on the field and the poor display of fundamentals has to be a reflection of the manager right?

He's no Eli

Does anyone know if the White Sox have an in-house sports psychologist on staff? I know that is an area that the Cubs have invested heavily in but I wonder if the Sox have done the same. I ask because Lucas Giolito is a massive headcase seems like

Yeah that's true but he when he signed his deal he was an established star player in the league. Rodon isn't that so you could get something team friendly

I assumed everyone was on that wavelength

Regarding Rodon, if I were Rick Hahn, I would approach him about a long-term extension. I know that his agent is Scott Boras but Boras did secure an extension for Steven Strasburg, who has been more injury prone than Rodon throughout the course of his career. The Sox do need to start keeping some guys around and signing Rodon to a team friendly extension also makes him more valuable.

Luca Dalatri striking out 15

Another guy to follow is Gianluca Dalatri

Nick Lodolo is my pick to go 1-1

A big part of me was hoping that they would cut an under slot deal with a prep player like Jordan Groshans for example and go crazy in the following rounds but I don’t know how well that strategy works when you don’t have comp/sandwich picks

Reminder that Dayton Moore came up with the Braves

All the athletes, please.
