    2021 Offseason Prediction: Who We Lose and What Will Be Our Needs?

    in Pale Hose Talk

    Posted · Edited by Lonchair

    What does everyone think about the bullpen or possibly the rotation, after Crochet’s inning last night?  I know I’m going to get shelled because it was three batters, but jeesh!  Bit of a wrinkle to think about for the future, which is what this post was about. Getting Bauer would be great & let Crochet have a year in the pen & possible spot starter.  This hopefully will protect his arm some & then unleash him To the rotation in 2022

    I approve of this move, now go get Lynn.

    Dyson<Engel. I don't want Lynn unless we only give up money & a sandwich or something. We don't need to add a 33 year old pitcher who's having a peak in his career by giving up future prospects that could lengthen the championship window. 

    This move is confusing but at least doesn't cost much.

    Jason has improved a lot since he started calling games for us. That’s for sure. When he’s an old man, he’ll be a great.

    Stoney Tweeted recently that one day, as you mentioned, that Bennetti will go down as one of the all time greats. How would like to hear that from your work partner?  It's also great that the fans appreciate what we have going for us along with this team & its future.

    Steve's really dry but Jason brings the humor out in him in a way that never happened when he was paired with Hawk.

    Yes.  It's like Jason is showing Stoney another side of himself (Steve) that he didn't know he had or didn't want to reveal on air. Maybe just trying to be professional in the way he thought was being professional. It just seems like Stone is so much more relaxed & happy coming to the park every day. I really do like & enjoy the both of them.

    These guys have become my favorite broadcasting duo since... I dunno, Hawk and Wimpy in the 90s? Nothing compares to Hawk's "You can put it on the board, YES" as far as play by play calls, but besides that Jason and Steve are everything you could want.

    -Openly pro-Sox but objective about the game, not overboard with homerism

    -Informative about what's happening in the game, skills/capabilities of players, what scouting reports say etc.

    -Entertaining banter, playful roasting

    I agree with all of what you're saying.  They have been brilliant, entertaining & just a pleasure to listen to.  I think Bennetti just brings out the silly in Stoney & they're having fun....& bringing us along for the ride.

    Realistic trade candidates AKA The Lynnsanity Thread

    The writers that tend to write about hypothetical trade proposals are the ones who tend to need them for readership. 
     

    Bowdens line doesn’t represent anything.

    Bowden's trade hypothesis is not in favor of the White Sox for the long term contention of this club. The young arms on this organization are what will sustain future contending seasons. Stay the course & get a Buewer type in the offseason for 2021.

    Sox fans are weird. One one hand, you have people that criticize Reinsdorf for being too loyal. On the other hand, you have people who post insane stuff like this. I'm just going to assume people forget Ozzie signed a backroom deal with the Marlins while he was still the Sox manager and that he's a drunk. 

    Why do you call him a drunk?

    He's the only one left with less than 6 years of control right? Just insanity what the Sox are pulling off.

    I was thinking the same thing!  The Sox/Hahn are doing things that other teams would, & try to replicate, do with their young, core players. It feels weird that the White Sox are doing something that other teams & fans can admire. It's a whole new world. The future is bright!

    Yeah, at this point the culture appears to matter. 

    Yes, & what a wonderful culture it is!  The future looks bright & these guys, being together for so long, could be something special. The big Red Machine of the 70s, 90s Yankees.  Sorry, just a little excited & ready for the season to start😃

    My question is do we have any angst over not getting Joc and his 30 some homers from the a Dodgers. Seems we were looking at him at one time 

    Much angst from me, but even more for not getting both Joc & Maeda for that price. Maeda is going to be a solid number 3 for our rival. Getting those two was my wish from the end of the World Series. Maeda's contract has White Sox all over it. Plus, I want him to get some justice for all the ways the Dodgers screwed with his bonuses.
