Then there's this: "His teammates rose to his defense and challenged Williams in a heated clubhouse meeting, according to multiple sources" http://www.foxsports.com/mlb/story/adam-la...going-on-031616

And there it is: Julie DiCaro ‏@JulieDiCaro 2m2 minutes ago Source tells @MattAbbatacola that several players went to KW complaining about LaRoche. So that explains the timing.

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Mar 16, 2016 -> 09:15 PM) How is Rodon doing today? Bad, but highlights make it look like he was throwing lots of change-ups.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Mar 16, 2016 -> 09:53 PM) Kenny has no problems being the bad guy. Colleen Kane ‏@ChiTribKane 37m37 minutes ago Ken Williams: "Sometimes you have to make decisions in this world that are unpopular. I’ve been unpopular before.’

Looking at the highlights on mlb.com, looks like a lot of change-ups from Rodon?

From a Boston writer: Jay Kenney ‏@RealJayKenney 5h5 hours ago Boston, MA Rumblings today that Hanley Ramirez could be sent to the Chicago White Sox. Nothing concrete though

QUOTE (Tony @ Mar 16, 2016 -> 09:46 PM) I'm not sure what that means??? Maybe the players aren't too happy with the club's decision?

David Haugh ‏@DavidHaugh 19m19 minutes ago Williams addressed unified #WhiteSox team: "One thing I commended my players on was sticking together. They stuck by their guy and his son. This better not have a lasting impact on the team chemistry.

QUOTE (Condor13 @ Mar 16, 2016 -> 08:29 PM) The Sox dont look bad in this situation to me. KW on the other hand looks like a complete ***. KW has to go and for me this just throws more fuel onto that fire. To say your not changing a policy but he can't have his kid there more then 50% of the time is completely chaging the policy. KW's comments were perfect

Wow, so maybe LaRoche wasn't doing what they asked: Colleen Kane ‏@ChiTribKane Ken Williams said he first talked to Adam LaRoche about cutting back on Drake's time in clubhouse a week ago, then again Sunday

Scott Merkin ‏@scottmerkin 4m4 minutes ago Chicago, IL More KW: ".. If this is allowed at this level right now, how do I tell the next guy that he can’t and then the next one after that?..

I just hope the Sox players are all on board going forward and there are no hard feelings.

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Mar 16, 2016 -> 08:10 PM) Do you think they'll put it on after that current game is over? I really want to see Rodon. yes

QUOTE (Saufley @ Mar 16, 2016 -> 07:56 PM) I just heard some guy call in to ESPN. He said it was written into the contract LaRoche signed to bring his kid to the clubhouse. Not sure how this guy knows that. Let's see what other stories come out. I'm sure that would have been reported in one of the 1,000 stories about Drake last year

QUOTE (chw42 @ Mar 16, 2016 -> 08:53 PM) The thing with LaRoche is that he sucked last year and it was clear his body wasn't going to really hold up after that injury last week. So if he wasn't going to be good and he was going to be hurting, at least he was going to have his son around. But with the Sox dropping the hammer on that, he'd literally have nothing to play for. I can see why he wanted to retire. Totally agree, don't know why this story had to go public

QUOTE (lasttriptotulsa @ Mar 16, 2016 -> 08:53 PM) I don't know. Even is he is a great kid I don't think I would want a 14 year old around all the time. I would feel like I would have to watch what I do or say all the time because I wouldn't want to expose a 14 year old to anything he shouldn't be exposed to. (foul language, dirty jokes, whatever it may be) Wouldn't it be hilarious if it was Avila (great clubhouse guy, been around baseball his whole life) who said something and not Latos/Lawrie

QUOTE (Tony @ Mar 16, 2016 -> 07:42 PM) And my response is: So what? Their isn't a single fan that isn't coming to the park because of this story. And if someone won't sign here because the Sox don't run a daycare at the stadium, oh well. If anything, it increases their chances at winning more regular season games, which in turn will lead to increased attendance

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Mar 16, 2016 -> 07:43 PM) This spring he has been around all the time, but LaRoche has been hurt and unable to do anything anyway. The article I linked stated he had limited access during the season, and he played on a couple of teams so he wasn't around every game. This is just KW being KW. It shouldn't have been a surprise Drake LaRoche would be at spring training daily. He was last year as well. In the article it said LaRoche's wife and daughter don't come to AZ until about halfway through spring training. KW should have said something before spring training started. That's all I'm saying. It's obvious he is frustrated by LaRoche's performance/injury/whatever, and he took it out on the kid. I don't think it makes the White Sox evil at all. I do think it shows how petty KW can be. , I'm sure this isn't just KW's decision.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Mar 16, 2016 -> 07:39 PM) I agree with the White Sox and you. But the defense of LaRoche on Twitter by players, fans, media personalities, etc. makes us look bad Haven't seen much negative reaction by the media. As for the players, of course they're going to stick up for LaRoche.

QUOTE (shipps @ Mar 16, 2016 -> 07:38 PM) I think there is a good chance he retracts them to be honest. And it is going to be the weirdest thing when it happens. LOL I highly doubt it, especially with him leaking what caused it.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Mar 16, 2016 -> 07:37 PM) Our organization looks horrible now. Great Not at all

Damn, there goes our chances at getting Harper for 400 million: Bryce Harper ‏@Bharper3407 5m5 minutes ago Good for you Roche! Nothing like father and son in the clubhouse..It's a FAMILY game #FamilyFirst

Ozzie ‏@oguillenjr 1m1 minute ago @Ken_Rosenthal what a joke kids were around in 2005. Kids in club house are great. Excuses lol what ever still will win 80 games lol

Just hope he doesn't have a change of heart. Can't see him doing it, as I'm sure Sox won't change their stance.

Perfect statement by Kenny....or is this a Hahn move
