Signing Gio Gonzalez for a mere $2 million a year (like the Brewers did) would have improved the starting rotation. He certainly is a better starter than Banuelos.

If Colome is traded (which I hope is not the case) I just hope he brings more than another bust like Blake Rutherford.

Anybody who thinks this White Sox team has too much starting pitching obviously believes in the Easter Bunny.

Yeah, Hahn has burned up a lot of money this past season BUT THE WHITE SOX STILL HAVE ONE OF THE LOWEST TEAM PAYROLLS IN MLB.

The White Sox offered Eloy Jimenez a long term contract this spring. He accepted the contract and was on the Opening day roster. The White Sox also offered a long term contract to Dylan Cease, and he declined the contract. Cease is still in the Minors. I can't help but wonder if Cease had signed the contract, he would be pitching for the White Sox now. Seems crazy that the team keeps calling up stiffs like Fulmer and won't bring up Cease.

I find it difficult embracing this rebuild/tank. Year after year of losing teams while JR and his investors are laughing all the way to the bank. This White Sox franchise is more profitable today than at anytime in its history. The two previous White Sox owners (John Allyn and Bill Veeck) didn't have the money to compete and both were forced to sell the team. At least both of them wanted winning teams. I don't see that here with JR.

This would have been a much better team this year if Kopech and Rodon were in the starting rotation. It will be curious to see what the front office does this off season.

Hopefully both Cease and Kopech will be good pitchers in 2020. If not, its going to be another long season. I'm hoping that Cease is brought up this year. (hopefully sooner rather than later) Having Cease up here this year will let him get some experience at the MLB level.

McCann has the 2nd highest batting average on the team and it seems like he's being benched every other day. I'm beginning to wonder if he's even in the future plans of the team. There have been comments on this site about whether Abreu and Colome will be traded at the deadline. I'm beginning to believe that McCann will be traded and the Zavala/Collins era will begin with the White Sox.

It would not surprise me if both Abreu and Colome were traded for prospects. The payroll will keep getting smaller and JR and his investors will make more money.

Whenever Cease is brought up with Rick Hahn he has always said he won't be brought up until he is ready and performs well enough in the Minors and he deserves to be brought up. He has said numerous times he won't bring up anybody to the White Sox unless he deserves it. It sounds real good but its BS. Perfect example is Zavala being called up. I realize that the team needs another catcher after Castillo getting hurt but still if you look at Zavalas hitting records this season they are appalling. His batting average and OBP are terrible. If anything he should probably be demoted. That being said the team has a starting pitching staff that can't get anybody out and Cease is still in the Minors. Its absolutely insane that Cease is not with the White Sox now. Bums like Banuelos are in the starting rotation and Cease is still in the minors waiting to be called up, I've said this before and I will say this again, its almost as if the White Sox are losing on purpose.

Your heart is in the right place but the changes you want are not going to happen. The franchise is making money hand over fist. As long as it keeps making money JR is happy with his organization. Always remember, Forbes magazine said the White Sox were the 6th most profitable team in 2018.

Sun Times White Sox beat writer Daryl Van Schouwen wrote the article.

Nobody ever talks about this but Hahn grew up a Cubs fan. Hahn was never at a White Sox game in his life until he started working for JR.

The article in todays Sun Times said the White Sox have no interest in signing Keuchel. Maybe they'll change their minds. We shall see.

I wish Hahn would have signed Gio Gonzalez. He signed for a small amount of money. Add Gonzalez and Cease to the starting rotation and things could have gotten interesting.

I realize that the MLB All Star Game is still a few weeks away but as of now the White Sox have as many as 6 players who could make the All Star team. Giolito, Colome, Mc Cann, Abreu, Anderson and Moncada could be picked for the team. If these 6 keep performing well it will be interesting to see who goes to the All Star Game.

Fine with me. If any other MLB team wants Castillo they can have him.

Play McCann as much as possible. If he keeps producing extend him. You can't extend him if he remains a part time player.

Castillo has no business being in the starting lineup ahead of McCann. If the White Sox released Castillo today there isn't one team that would pick him up and put him on their roster.

I just wish he was playing every day. Playing Castillo every other day has been for the birds.

McCann had a big hit tonight. I hope he's in the starting lineup tomorrow instead of Castillo.

Why is Castillo playing instead of McCann? What am I missing here? Is this team actually losing on purpose?

I always thought his low career home run totals (186) kept him out of the HOF.

If Colome is traded, I'm expecting more prospects in return.
