I'm glad you praise him in your post. I appreciate that. I get frustrated by the age thing. I think he has five good years left in him if his age has not been doctored and that takes us through the WS title years.

As ridiculously horrible as the Sox are they still are only 8 games back. This is what irritates me. We could be doing the rebuild thing and actually still be winning the division. Granted we've had some injury problems, but if the front office didn't sit on its hands all winter, it could have acquired some arms and a bat or two -- guys that wouldn't be blocking anybody. All it would have cost is a few bucks. The only harming of the rebuild in that scenario would be getting a draft pick of 10 or so instead of one or two, big deal. Eight games back with one of the worst teams in modern Sox history, embarrassing. I wish the commish would fine the teams that are tanking. If you watch our games or highlights of our games, it's clear the fans who do go to the Cell want to win. They are actively rooting for W's. Eight out! LOL.

Good post. I'd like to add he's been phenomenal as a White Sox and is ultra consistent. All he does is put up numbers. Stud.

Guy goes 4-for-4 again today. Has been as consistent or more consistently excellent than any other player in White Sox history. And he gets no love. Very strange and sad. If we are dumb enough to trade him I hope it's to the Cubs so he stays in Chicago. Any fan who wants him gone deserves him raking for the Cubs.

It seems Alex Jones' 20 minutes of fame have been used up. Is he still popular? It seems to me he's considered a caricature or a weird uncle type. I did a youtube search and watched his hour long interview with Kevin Trudeau. Geez. Alex Jones does no homework, thinks Trudeau's books actually were valuable in curing illnesses. Jones' take on the mass shootings being fake ... beyond awful. They should take him to one of the cities where these disasters happen and have him go to the hospitals and see the injured and deceased. What a dope. But I thought he jumped the shark with Kelly interview and is now just regarded as a weird uncle.

So how many years do Weinstein and Cosby get? I say one for Cosby, probably 20-40 for Harvey. Harvey out on probation in about 12 years. Cosby serves his whole year.

Only the Democrats can have a viable candidate (last election) in Bernie and not let the voting process play out and get him in as the candidate over a controversial Hillary. If the party would have ridden Bernie-mania it would have won. Cause the media would ultimately have shrugged and said, "Damnit we wanted Hillary to fulfill her coronation, but If Bernie has to be the candidate then Bernie it is." They'd have backed him heavily as they did Hillary. We don't need to re-visit the problems of Hillary as a candidate, but we do need to push Bernie cause he is a.) a name. b.) beloved by the youth. c.) willing to get us free stuff unlike the bastards whose only goal seems to force homelessness on the poor and middle class. Nobody cares bout us actively besides Bernie.

I read an article that said this year's draft blows and all the picks are about the same. It made me laugh as I am no draft-nik.

Thanks. That's an educational post IMO. Thank u

No evidence. I just read some poster saying somebody wrote he might be older than it says on his baseball card. I hope he's the exact age he's supposed to be. Look, he's hitting great again this year. So taking the emotion out of it ... Mr. Hahn is probably thinking seriously about trading him at the deadline this season. It'd be just like Sale. Trading an all star for probably 3 prospects. Will they be top prospects? We shall see. I bet you right now the true odds of him being dealt are 50-50. Especially if what you guys say is true about him commanding 18 to 20 mill a year. That's not the Sox style to pay that jack, especially in this fan friendly age of fans loving prospects. I think it's 50-50 he gets dealt; maybe 60-40 cause of the rebuild thing and the fact fans won't give him any grief over a deal that involves at least 3 prospects. Personally I want to keep him.

I don't buy the re-signing thing. That doesn't seem like it happens very much.

PTATC I respect your knowledge more than anybody on the board. So give us your assessment. Will he make it or bust? And as far as his mechanics and delivery ... do you approve? My most recent eyetest saw a guy just laying it in there like a batting practice pitcher. Please give us your thorough analysis of his mechanics, his delivery and his arm angles. And give me the same on Nate Jones. Thank u sir.

I'm not a joke. I'm furious at the unfairness of getting to have a job where you are allowed to fail, and receive raises and pats on the back for failing with the so-called rebuild the excuse. I hate to break it to people, but there is a LOT of work to be done to build this roster. And with our fans' desire to not spend cash, good luck building a contender. Yes on paper there are some nice pieces, but already there are some ???s. Rey-Lo looks like a rotation pitcher (that's good), Moncada looks like an all star (that's good), Timmy is OK, but that defense? Gio frankly has a ton of work to do. Some want to ship Abreu out for more prospects. Davidson is my idol but may not be the answer at DH. The relievers? Maybe Fry really is good. Nate is OK. The rest of the staff blows. You know ... as bad as the Sox teams have been, we better be contenders 6-10 straight years to make up for the pain of these crappy teams.

Amen Flash! You and I are soul mates on this issue. It's the best job ever.

It's another one of those games where Hahn gets to be a genius. Instead of feeling embarrassed at that relief choke job, he can smile and wink at the investors and say, 'Just as we planned it.' That top 2 draft pick is coming next year ... yeah! Sure hope this year's No. 4 and next year's 1 or 2 are not busts. Of course we'll give them 4-6 years to make the majors. Hahn can keep the rebuild mystery going as long as he wants and be beloved by fans, owners, everybody. It's unAmerican to try to lose like this.

Yeah so we can get the No. 4 pick again (or 3, 2 or 1) when people are saying there's no difference this year between 4 and 14. What a joke the draft is in baseball.

The odds of Trump being impeached before the next election are greater than his winning again. The Russia thing will get him. If not the porn star thing could escalate, etc. He has too many ghosts to last long. Bernie actually would have beaten him. The Millenials were loving him and he was a huge thing. I think he actually got robbed out of the election by his own party and election fraud, etc. I'm a bernie backer, baby.

Trump isn't going to be re-elected if there's a candidate out there not named Hillary Clinton. People aren't that dumb to give DT another term. He's evil.

Any chance of Bernie running independent? Even he should be concerned about possible backstabbing to make sure he doesn't get the nomination. I realize running Indy means you can't win though which saddens me. The USA politicians no longer care about the poor or middle class at all on either side, or students and their debt, so I want a radical like Bernie to give us free stuff. Why? It's better than paying, paying paying and getting nothing in return except high medical costs and impending breakup of SS and medicare. Thanks, government for everything.

Nobody's going to pony up 18 to 20 mill a year considering he's probably older than his listed age. I'd say if he gets 15 mill a year he's tapped out there. I could see it between 12 and 15, couldn't you? Jose should be thrilled to get 60 million for four years from his favorite team, the Sox. Then one year deals like Melky.

The problem is our fans don’t want to pay any of the current players they only want to pay the unknown guys from other teams. just give Jose 12 to 15,000,000 a year for four years and call it good but no our fans don’t want to pay White Sox players

I just watched highlights. His delivery looked fine but he looked like he was pitching batting practice. He's lucky he didn't get killed out there. He was just laying it in there over the plate and it didn't seem very fast, either. Yikes. Does he have any options? Send his ass to minors. He won't be getting many guys out with that stuff.

I haven't seen Gio's starts so I'm just talking off box scores. He is 6-foot-6. He is walking some people. Sometimes these tall guys need to have simple windups or pitch from the stretch. I'm assuming he hasn't put much thought in his delivery, but he better go train under Randy Johnson for a month this offseason. Like I said, these excessively tall pitchers often have control problems. PTATC can u analyze his delivery?

If Bernie does run it's gonna be a repeat. He'll get backstabbed by his own party and split it. Trump will love that.

I disagree
