its nice to see possible reasons why they would hire someone who could be classfied as an "up and comer" rather than silly emotional tripe about infatuation with the Royals or cheapness. They're doing what they have to do to ID coaches who fit modern , hardworking, problem solving, individualized approaches . This is not one size fits all coaching. It's specialization. Yes we all know its easiest to become hateful and fatalistic whenever they make moves but this place is just a parody of meatballism now. Openmindedness has all but vanished.

He's a big leaguer and they need more of those, so it wouldn't be a bad addition to the team but him falling off a cliff wouldn't be surprising either.

Not sure how it's not business as usual. It would be signing a 32 year old coming off a career year... A guy who has graded out as a negative defender every year of his career, and by a good bit. Someone who between age 24 and 29 basically was worth 0 WAR over 450ish games. He won't demand a big contract, he's a strong-side-of-platoon bat, and he's projected for a little over 1 WAR. This is absolutely business as usual.

Interesting question. Put another way, are the Sox 3 players away from being a favorite? I think the answer is yes! The problem is, those players are Ruth, Gehrig, and Koufax 😳

More good advice here than currently available through HHS. If you want a further scare, look at everything Chet Lemon went through after his first series of strokes.

No, it's about the people who have beaten the senseless "ex-Royals hire" meme to death. By all means, tell us why you think the Sox have hired the wrong people. If your only argument is that they once worked for the Royals, close your eyes when the sauce gets poured on your meatball head.

exactly i'm just fed up with signing up for one event and then having to cancel, etc. won't do it and i need tonight's game.

Unfortunately, their hiring track record doesn’t bring confidence. I’m sorry if you think not buying what they are selling, having a show me don’t tell me attitude, not giving the White Sox any of the benefit of the doubt is meatballism to you, but buying everything that they are selling to me is akin to being in a cult. They lost 102 games 2 years after they were supposedly embarrassed they lost 101, and broke a record for losses in 2024. They made the GM hire because the owner said they couldn’t waste a year. So far pilfering the Royals coaching staff has lead to 324 losses in 3 years.

I think I'd prefer Crews to Lile because Crews could actually stick in CF and replace Robert/let him slide over to a less strenuous position. Lile has obviously been better at the MLB level thus far, but it's a small sample size. I don't think Washington would give up either guy though.

He was excellent with Bill Raftery on the Wake Michigan OT game this week.

Maybe they spelled the contract incorrectly and it instead read Bob Witt (Sr.), RHP?

How's it working out? The White Sox just set a major league record for the worst season in the 125 year history of major league baseball, and the 2nd worst ever for 2 and 3 seasons combined. Give me trying and failing over not caring at all.

Someone should invent a sort of building where you can park on a 2nd or 3rd floor.

When you want to get something off your chest go ahead and post because you are a Sox lifer just like all of us on this board. 41-121, bring it on I'm still here. I don't need a "Croix de Candlestick" pin as a badge of honor or some fake Cub fan woe is me.

I find it easy being a White Sox fan. I renew my season tickets every year and go to the games and just hope for the best.
