  1. Even during the no money Bill Veeck years the Sox some of the time had a pulse (South Side HIt Men). The Sox had enough star players to win it all in 2008. Just give me a competing team. As far as the walk ons they'd stand no chance. If the Sox are going with walk ons against a big league schedule maybe we'll only win 30 this year. I do think the Sox will sneak up on some teams who can't get up for the Sox in head to head matchups. I'm just frustrated entering the 2025 season since I'm unfamiliar with all but 3 players.
  2. Man I hate that thought. That this crappiness is by design. It's insulting to Sox fans. I know maybe 5 percent of the fanbase is all gaga over the rebuild/reload. Most people want their team to win NOW especially fans who have already seen their team stink at rebuilding/reloading.
  3. First time in my Sox fandom I have to study the roster, try to read mlb.com to learn who will be playing for us on a regular basis this season. I can't be the only Sox fan who needs a class in Sox 101 2025 team. It sickens and disgusts me. Am I alone here? Certainly some of you know some pretty darn good Sox fans of past years who have no idea who these current Sox stiffs and retreads who will take the field in 2025 are. If so please tell me I'm not alone! It sickens me to see who will comprise our infield this year and catcher positions. And the bullpen. Who are these no names and why did the Sox do this to their loyal fans. I am a longtime Sox fan whether u believe it or not. p.s. At least I've heard of Beni and Robert and Vaughn.
  4. I don't troll. Like or hate me I write how I feel as a life long Sox fan, a formerly proud Sox fan. The Sox have changed me for the worst. Ask fathom or caulfield how mad I'd get on here when our Sox lost to KC or the Cubs. Bitter anger.
  5. In my opinion both have as good a chance of getting good again as the retreads the Sox acquired.
  6. Our luck to be fans of a team that think rebuilding/reloading is sexy. I for one don't like writing off seasons and seeing the months of the calendar fly by. I live for the present, baby.
  7. You can't be a fan of acquiring Joey Gallo and some of these other old guys from other teams can you? My point is the only thing that matters are the young pitchers and a few position players that aren't ready. So in the interim it's obvious the Sox are bringing in a bunch of old lousy hitters. Michael Taylor? Cmon. Austin Slater, Mike Tauchman, DeLoach. Give me Anderson and Abreu and some other former Sox mediocres hanging around other teams.
  8. I like your posts 2023. But my point is if you have veteran placeholders make 'em former Sox players/pitchers. Nobody cares about somebody else's oldies making outs for our team. Did anybody pick up that guy who played OF for us last year, I forget his name. He went to the Cardinals then went 3-for-3 in one of the playoff games I attended in KC last October.
  9. My point is if you bring in a Gallo and some of these other old guys to play for a 105-115 loss team, why not have some of our old faves back? They'd be more popular than these new oldies we acquired. We coulda got Tim Anderson cheap and the folks who don't wanna rush Colson could be happy. We coulda acquired Madrigal for pennies and played him over whomever gets the 2B job. Abreu coulda played 1B over Gatto. And on and on.
  10. Joey Gallo hit 10 homers in 223 at bats last year; he could lead us in homers. Sox are the oldest young team in baseball history. ... Seriously why not fricking bring Abreu back if Gallo is gonna get a lot of playing time? Abreu probably could hit 25 homers in 2024-25 with our Sox.
  11. Reaction: 1.) Happy about Colson (at some point this is an entertainment business and following his progress might be moderately exciting; it would for a second make me wonder if I should buy the MLB package). 2.) Who the heck is Drury? Is Justin Anderson that former Royals guy? He reeks IMO. ... Is anybody ever gonna discuss projections for our pitching staff? By far it's the biggest bunch of no names in Sox history. Not hyperbole. I've followed the Sox forever and can't name one starter still. Have to check the articles for names.
  12. outside top 108? and we're supposed to start winning mabe in 2026?
  13. I think some of the folks (not you) that are against rushing prospects are living in the past. If a kid is 22 or up and is considered an elite prospect, bring him up. The Royals let Witt have a miserable season, then he ultimately became a star rather quickly. See the ball, hit the ball. It's not a complicated game. Let Colson play on opening day. Why not? The team is gonna lose 110 regardless.
  14. The Chicago media should just ignore White Sox spring training or make the White Sox pay for coverage of spring training. There's not one player I want to read about or hear speak. If the White Sox insist on throwing this product in front of their fans, the media should just treat the White Sox like a minor league team, i.e. absolutely no coverage. Michael Taylor? Cmon. There should be absolutely zero interest in this roster. Are they actually gonna sell out opening day?
  15. This isn't a way to run a franchise. Have the fans wondering if you possibly can have a worse record this year than 2024. Absolutely no moves of consequence in the offseason. If we win 60 games he's manager of the century.
