South Side Fireworks Man

I hope the Sox don't bring up Jimenez until they feel his defense is developed enough to play an adequate major league outfield. Everyone always focuses solely on his hitting when determining when he is ready for a call up. I hope the Sox are also concerned with developing his defense and other baseball skills as well. This franchise never seems to put enough value on defense. Unless of course they plan on Eloy being a full time DH, I hope he doesn't come up too soon and be an embarassment in the outfield. I'm tired of watching that kind of White Sox baseball.

Nice job, Rondon!

Stone keeps confusing the Cubs with the Sox.

Atta boy, Engel and Yolmer!

Engel breaks up the no hitter! What a bunt can do LOL! ?

Another first round draft pick by this brain trust.

Rodon can't even stay healthy and may never be that effective. Fulmer sucks so far. Giolito sucks so far and has lost velocity for some unknown reason. Two first round draft choices and the primary piece to a major trade, these were supposed to be key pieces of the rebuild. Last year's number one draft pick tears his Achilles twice already. There's no guarantee this rebuild will be successful.

Hahn needs to be beaned everytime he's about to make a first round draft selection.

Now Leury can go back to being the backup infielder and not have to play outfield again.

QUOTE (Jake @ Apr 12, 2018 -> 07:55 PM) Wonderful.

We traded Chris Sale for this guy?

Rodon and Anderson for Machado sounds good to me.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 26, 2017 -> 09:52 AM) Does Jerry still own the White Sox? Unfortunately.

I wouldn't count on much from Rodon. But yes, the Sox should be competitive next season.

Best Second Baseman on the roster.

Fine, let Moncada play everyday at 3B but keep Yolmer at 2B.

I'd let Yolmer play 2B and let Moncada play 3B. Davidson can play 3B against some Lefties since Moncada struggles from the right side anyway. Leury at SS and Engel in CF. Baseball is a defensive game and I'm sick of garbage defense up the middle. Leury, Yolmer and Engel gives the Sox premiere defense up the middle.

QUOTE (Scoots @ Sep 7, 2017 -> 07:32 PM) Well whaddya know. A leadoff Yolmer Homer off Kluber. Yolmer is a good ballplayer.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Sep 7, 2017 -> 01:52 PM) These guys can all play next year, but all of them will have to improve in order for them to be regulars on a team the White Sox will sell as a contender. Engel will have to hit a bit. Leury is going to have to become a bit more baseball savvy. Hanson.....he just isn't a championship calibur player. And Anderson should have to improve his defense as well as his offense. Yet he seems to be the anointed starting SS. Why not let him compete for a job like everyone else? Leury is a much better SS and it's his natural position. Defense matters.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Sep 7, 2017 -> 12:06 PM) If we have the choice between someone who can't hit, but plays gold glove defense versus someone who can hit, but hurts his pitching staff in CF, give me Engel everytime. With an already bad defense and a young pitching staff, I don't want to make it harder on them than I have to. Engel is a young pitchers best friend in CF the way he turns doubles in the gap into loud outs. Agreed.

Atta boy Engel!

QUOTE (Two-Gun Pete @ Sep 5, 2017 -> 08:04 PM) I do like competition, and I would not count out any of our cavalcade of middling OF options for next season. I'd let Tilson, Engel, and Liriano duke it out for CF; I'd let Anderson and Leury duke it out @ SS for next season. As it should be.

QUOTE (Lillian @ Sep 5, 2017 -> 07:47 PM) Leury was always regarded as a plus middle infielder, but the outfield is really new to him. Right. And now that he has come around with the bat, he deserves a shot at the SS job. Anderson should not be annointed as the starting SS but should have to earn it. Let them both compete for the job next year.

Davidson! Tank my ass!
