Once Again, Fire Ricky Renteria
I am a big fan, but I'm sure Ozzie had something to do with it. They went the opposite.

Nice Sox talk in an article on Eduardo Escobar

2018-2019 J2 Intl Signing Period - White Sox Preview
Miguel Tejada Jr is interesting. It was mentioned he’s not in the top 50 of international prospects, but he’s 15 years old. If he takes $300,000 put him in the system.

2018 White Sox catch-all thread
Blake Swihart still a catcher, or relegated to utility? Looks like the BoSox are ready to deal him.

Race for the worst 2018 record (Top 5 pick) again
Probably, but I almost wonder if some young replacements rejuvenate the team. Baseball is great, but odd in that what you expect on paper often ends up being the opposite.

How do the newly drafted players fit into the white sox top prospect list?
Walker may or may not have been BPA, but the scout rankings supposedly supported that he was. Take the good with the bad. If this shows to be a less than ideal pick, but held true to the system of selecting, then so be it. From top to bottom of the drafting philosophy, it will be a net benefit. Walker represents a commitment to the strategy.

Draft Day Poll: Who is your guy at #4?
https://theloopsports.com/2018/06/04/white-sox-scouting-report-joey-bart/ I still take Madrigal unless Mize surprisingly falls, but it would be interesting if Bart is there at 4. I wouldn’t be mad if that was the selection.

2018 MLB Draft
Isn’t Singer projected to be a #3 starter? I realize the other options are not without their criticisms, but taking a pitcher at number 4 with the first thing said about him is his quick availability to get to the majors doesn’t seem like a great choice. I like Madigral to complement our upcoming mashers. If he isn’t available or our guy, I’d still like to take a position player. We have #3 guys in our system, and I think we can add similar upside guys at lower rounds. Singer may be a “safe” pick, but I don’t like it. If they do it, I’ll root him on.

Welington Castillo to be suspended 80 games for PED, per Rosenthal
Definitely stupid, but upping your red blood cell count and increasingly your oxygen flow doesn’t sound like that big of a red flag. There’s danger in any rebalancing of what your body produces naturally, but... In any case, I respect his ownership for what he did. I’ll welcome him back when his time served is completed.

Dustin Fowler suing White Sox for injury
Agreed, there doesn’t appear to be anything there that would show negligence.

Know your surroundings- Dustin Fowler suing White Sox for injury
They should start requiring knee pads, helmets, and Kevlar for all defensive players unless they opt out with a signed waiver.- when can Sox contend?
It's best to wait and see your needs but player availability, matched with being a good fit sometimes doesn't setup ideally. I wouldn't be up set if they signed Moustakas. - Dustin Fowler suing White Sox for injury
