QUOTE (Lillian @ Sep 9, 2017 -> 07:25 PM) Jose will probably be the #3, or 4 hitter and veteran leader, for the young contending club in 2019 and I believe that they will try to extend him. If he stays in his current shape, which is perhaps the best he's been since coming to the States, the front office may have confidence in his ability to be productive, into his mid 30's. I suspect that by then, he will be the DH. He is the clubhouse leader, especially for the Latin players, particularly Jimenez, Robert and Moncada. It wouldn't surprise me if Hahn sees both Abreu and Avi as part of the core, going into their window of contention. I'm not a big fan of having the entire team be kids. They are going to need some leadership. It would be hard to go out and bring in another veteran, who would be as effective in that role. But then, I guess most of you have already concluded the same thing. They very likely are not http://www.soxtalk.com/forums/index.php?s=...t&p=3559491

QUOTE (miracleon35th @ Sep 9, 2017 -> 01:35 AM) It is hard to rebuild when your first round picks include Rodon, Fulmer, Collins, and Burger. It's hard to read your thoughts on a rebuild when it is apparent that you don't understand what a rebuild is.

QUOTE (He Gawn @ Sep 9, 2017 -> 06:57 AM) I'm glad Sale recognizes that those were ugly jerseys, despite Reinsdorf's blindness. A frail minded pitcher could let that into his head, but he knew he had done as well as he could in those situations. It's disappointing he got suspended, but it was also smart of him to save his mind for before he started the game. I'm proud of him. This, in my opinion, shows great mental strength and can only bode well for him. Giolito standing up for himself when an umpire is having a bad game is hardly the same as Sale having a fashion hissy fit

Ezekiel Elliott gets an injunction because, surprise surprise, the NFLs investigation was dumb as hell

Limbaugh just evacuated his Florida home after telling his listeners all week that Irma wasn't a big deal

QUOTE (bmags @ Sep 7, 2017 -> 10:59 AM) Ole Ice Bucket Kyyle Not much to be excited about. Everything this front office has touched in the past 4 years has turned to ashes. But my Niko comment stands. He tore up the league he was in at a very young age

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Sep 7, 2017 -> 10:14 AM) Haven't seen anyone talk about it, but Lauri Markkanen is destroying it in the Euro tourney. #1 player on Finland and has been straight balling. Below are some excerpts from an article in the ringer. https://www.theringer.com/nba/2017/9/6/1625...anen-cedi-osman Sounds like the reports we got about Niko about 4 years ago

I can imagine certain Soxtalk members being extremely excited about Melky returning

Lopez has thrown like 30 more pitches than he should have up until now

QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Sep 6, 2017 -> 07:50 PM) Did Benetti really just ask Kopech why he changed his slider after Kopech had just explained why? Yes he did lol. To his credit, Kopech gave an answer that made it seem like a slightly different question was asked

Defense is fun tonite

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Sep 6, 2017 -> 01:34 PM) Patrick Finley‏Verified account @patrickfinley 23m23 minutes ago #Bears released their depth chart. No surprises, really; Unrein starts at DE, Deonte Thompson to KR, Bryce Callahan to PR https://twitter.com/patrickfinley/status/905493563097669633 I would say that Long, McPhee, and Amukamura being listed as active counts as a surprise

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Sep 6, 2017 -> 11:57 AM) This one is dead.

QUOTE (credezcrew24 @ Sep 5, 2017 -> 09:03 PM) And that's a major flaw of WAR. Leury has looked like a complete armature in CF while Engel has looked good. The metrics will tell you they've been equal and that couldn't be farther from the truth. this made me laugh

QUOTE (bmags @ Sep 6, 2017 -> 11:44 AM) Maybe I haven't squared up with how little our WR and QB talent (with Glennon not Trubs tha God) will hurt our offense or schedule, but I am heading into this season feeling pretty positive. I don't know. I just think we could really inflate our performance with power run offense plus TE pass game, and a top 10 defense. If they could manage to get lucky in the health column, they could surprise. Im not saying playoffs(although crazy things happen in the NFL every year), but definitely better than 3 or 6 wins.

You guys should stream your group. Who is the Leroy Jenkins?

Trubisky officially named #2 Qb

Ramirez is hitting like he is taking the cream and the clear

Subtitle edited for accuracy

The subtitle is true. Back to back homers in the first inning so far

I wondering if they want Rian Johnson to finish it

Finally over. The tank season couldn't have happened without his contributions but maaaaaaaan was it hard to watch

QUOTE (WBWSF @ Sep 5, 2017 -> 09:01 AM) Milwaukee had the lowest MLB team payroll on this past Opening Day with $63 million dollars. The 2018 White sox team payroll will be the lowest payroll in MLB.It will be much less than $63 million dollars. After the trade of Avi Garcia and probably Abreu the payroll will be less than $40 million. Always remember, low payroll=big profits=more moola for JR. nobody cares. As long as the kids in the pipeline are the real deal, it doesnt matter what the payroll is next year, so stop whining about it
