I check out the MILB stats nearly every day. It only takes a few minutes. I see very little on the farm teams to get excited about so far. Maybe, they're rating them on potential and not reality.

Moncada has always been as fragile as a porcelain teacup. I won't miss him. The same goes for Jimenez.

On the bright side, Benintendi appears to be the ideal lead off hitter. Through the eight games he's hitting a respectable .094 and he's already scored a run. The $75 million commitment is money well spent.

Why?

Even though Shaw took the loss, he lowered his Spring ERA to a more respectable 24.92.

Shaw, nine pitches, five hits and six earned runs. Pretty impressive.

57

I'm surprised at how close the game is.

I liked Buehrle, but he's not even close to being a Hall of Famer.

I've never liked LaRussa, even during his first turn with the White Sox in the 80's. But, even though he's a sleepy 100 year old and had an awful year in 2022, I would rather have him manage the 2024 White Sox than Grifol. I saw no redeeming managerial skills exhibited by Grifol in 2023.

It's crazy.

Here we go again. Dejong has a lifetime OBP of .299. Just start Montgomery. He'll be 22 when the 2024 season starts. Robin Ventura was 22 in his rookie year. He had a tough first season, but the next year he had 100 RBI.

Seems crazy to me. Thirty million for three years? I don't think Lopez is worth anywhere near that much.

For you youngsters out there, Harry and Jimmy were the best.

I won't miss him. I never cared for his generic announcer voice or silly segues.

Thames is a former ML player with a lifetime BA of .246 and an OBP of .309. He should fit in well with the White Sox.

Can anyone imagine Jerry paying $40 million over 5 years for a manager?

I'm grateful that Kopech hasn't walked anyone yet today. Oops, I spoke too soon.

Tough win. Can't lose them all.

I was concerned that the Sox were going to win, but the relievers came through late. Why stop at 100 losses?

Solid loss. It looks like 100 losses is likely.

I was concerned the Sox would win this one, but they came through late. Phew!

Close. I guess you just can't lose them all. Edging the Twins doesn't help the White Sox goal of 100 losses. Come on boys, we know you can still do it.

Hopefully, another notch in the 2023 White Sox goal of 100 losses this season.

Just what every team wants, a relief pitcher with no control.
