Hit some golf balls and see a couple of games...I'm in desperate need.

Openers are starters...and we have plenty of those.

I'm envious!

I think this team looks great right now and we have the money to buy needs if any become necessary. A little patience is needed to see if Katz has fixed some of these young guys. By most accounts we have one of the best teams in the AL.

Oh! Those seem like good reasons.?

And we still have ammo if needed after we see how this is all shaking out.

This staff was made for openers IMO.

It has gotten boring around here with no news...but really!

I have this jacket and wear it every day during the winter. You can't imagine the number of people who say "nice jacket" here in Michigan.

That's just plain rude. Try to control yourself.

The broadcast schedule can be found on the Official White Sox site (whitesox.com).

I agree 100%.

What kind of fair contest allows a team to spend 5 times the amount of some of its competitors. Firm floor and ceiling limits need to be set asap.

I am not advocating Yermin as a backup catcher. Yermin would be my 3rd/emergency catcher until Vaughn comes up... primarily filling in as DH. I don't and never did want Yermin to catch in anything other than mop-up situations.

In a world that will have both leagues with DH in the not too distant future...he is a commodity worth something if we can showcase the hit tool. To call him a 3rd catcher is the same as saying DH with emergency catcher capabilities IMO.

Yermin is "my" third-string catcher and I would love to see him get a fair # of at-bats while giving Vaughn a chance to sign an extension. He is a prospect worth developing for trade value if nothing else.

Not long now...MLB sent notice of my TV subscription yesterday to be effective Feb. 28.2021. A sure sign that Spring is just around the corner.

I thought it was obvious... I was making a generalized statement that in my mind was referring to the recent comments concerning Vaughn, Gio, and Lynn. Some felt Gio came from money and would hold out for the bigger payday. Some felt that way about Moncada and Robert. I think young players are smart to take a bird in the hand. Anyone can have their career cut short in a moment.

Are you saying more conservatives have died than liberals?

Hamilton is a good example of why young guys should think long and hard before turning down a fair extension offer. Bad stuff can happen to anyone.

Jose didn't just get lucky with his improved hitting and fielding...he showed up in the best shape of his life. He has pride in himself.

If you watch Tim Anderson and Derek Jeter actually play day after day...Tim will be the Gold Glove winner IMO.

As you point out...the depth of our lineup just wears a pitcher out. Even when a pitcher seems to be rolling along he will hit a wall and the roof caves in.

I suspect it would be of the fair variety. He appears to like the organization and generational wealth means not working the signing table at Sox park in your golden years. Like everyone...he would prefer not sponging off the folks. These are not dumb guys...they know careers can end in an instant.

It won't bother me if you are there...but it will bother some people. On the other hand, if my being vaccinated, wearing a mask, and social distancing bothers those same people...they are the ones who should stay home. Don't expect everyone to do it their way. Just my opinion.
