Are we losing these remaining games on purpose to stay in front of the Nationals for the draft?

Let's Go White Sox!

Great responses guys. So if we look even further down the line it looks like these will be the biggest contributors in the next 5 years. LHP Noah Schultz (2025/26) LHP Hagen Smith (2026) OF Braden Montgomery (2027) 3B Caleb Bonemer (2028) SS Billy Carlson (2029) Does anyone consider anyone else in this category? The starting infield for the next 5 years looks set with Vargas, Meidroth, Sosa, Montgomery, Teel and Quero. It's then a question of how we manage Benintendi, Robert and Tauchman and if Schultz and Hagen get going. Add to that a big bat and a couple of solid relievers and you have yourself a potential division winning team IMO.

RF Tauchman SS Meidroth LF Benintendi 1B Vargas CF Robert 3B Montgomery C Quero/Teel DH Quero/Teel 2B Sosa Rotation We have to be patient with Schultz and Hagen Smith Burke Thorpe Martin Cannon Civale Bullpen Leasure Eisert Wilson Vasil Closer Taylor Anyone else you are hopeful to realistically see or dismiss?

Anderson, Abreu, Gio, Keuchel, Kopech These guys at some point showed passion.

The last game against the Twins has your answer. No Mazara and EE just works. Use them sparingly.

Do we also keep Eloy in LF in the hopes that all three get better?

Really have to give props to the FO for that.

Curious on your thoughts.

Kneejerkery in the game threads is the very reason I keep the forums on during games, it just adds to the drama. Imagine the chat if EE missed that bomb, if Grandal didn't get the call at home plate, if Tim made another error, or if the pen lost the game, That's just baseball, so please let the kneejerkery continue.

2005 seems like a lifetime ago, I'm also an Arsenal FC fan and they won the league last in 2004. Both teams now are showing huge promise. 15 years of sporting depression, let's go!

I"m not arguing, it's just a different opinion.

I think DK would defer to Gio also but I still prefer DK as a team leader. I'd also want competition in our rotation. It's nothing against Gio's pitching, having him as our no.1 starter based on pitching is still warranted, I just want a person with more experience at the top of the rotation.

Pitching isn't as consistent as Dallas and he isn't as vocal. What Dallas did earlier this season to rev up the players was something I've been looking for in a team leader for ages.

EE's chinstrap annoys me. That should be reason enough to ship him off to Schaumburg.
