Despite being in first place and with the biggest lead in the MLB the White Sox are 24th in team home runs, compared to 3rd in last season's abbreviated effort, and 25th in 2019. Was last season just an aberration in a shortened season? Or has missing Jimenez and Robert affected us that badly? And finally does it really matter as long as runs and wins keep coming?

I may be proved wrong so don't dump on me but I think Moncada and Abreu will improve when Jiminez and Robert are back in the line-up, at the moment the production pressure lies heavily on those 2 and in the past Abreu has chased balls and extended his strike zone when he lacked support around him. Moncada's lack of power this season could still be a legacy of covid as it can have a lingering affect on some people, but the real question is if not Moncada who is a better (realistic) option for 3rd?

That makes sense, I thought his injury was a pretty stupid one to do in Spring Training, but I did not think he was a liability in LF, just not the best.

Excuse the dumb question as I am an English White Sox fan whose knowledge of the finer points of baseball are not the best, but is Eloy actually as bad in LF as some posters on here like to have us believe?

Can't see them trading Vaughn, but the other 3 could be traded for the right price, although I think trading Burger may come back to bite as he looks to be potentially the best hitter, his lack of positions limits his options with the White Sox. Mercedes value is the lowest as he essentially has no position other than a DH and those last few weeks were painful to watch.

Maybe Boras' spin rate will be down as well due to the crackdown!

Is a Hall of Farmer where all the great farmers get elected?

Do you think TLR has coped well with all the lineup changes caused by injuries? The team is still winning despite all the chopping and changing.

Genuine question, do you think the White Sox would be doing better, the same or worse if Ricky R was still manager?

No afraid not, I haven't made it back to Chicago yet, my only other USA trip was to Vegas!

First post and I'm an English White Sox fan, been a White Sox fan since I saw them live when my family visited Chicago in the early 80's, it was hard following them in those days as baseball wasn't reported much in the UK, but now thanks to the wonders of the internet I can stream games live. So please be nice! Why if Eaton was going to be DFA'd today and he has been so poor at the plate, why was he lead off hitter yesterday?
