Undefeated since the team meeting.

Did Stone just call Yolmer, Hector?

Not me. I was thrilled to sell high.

At least in his case he wasn't meant to be starting.

The White Sox were almost moved out of Chicago multiple times in the 70's because they were drawing so badly.

Yeah this. The "they have to win" thing is ridiculous. The Cub didn't win anything for over a century. It is an excuse to dismiss reality.

Bingo. It is disingenuous to ignore history and suggest otherwise.

You can also pick and choose your "facts" based on your bitterness with ownership, but that doesn't make it right. Don't let the actual revenue numbers get in the way of a nonsensical rant.

Yes, didn't play until his Junior year of HS. Even went to a JuCo after that, and barely played at all. He got less ABs in 3 years of JuCo, than Gordon Beckham got his last year at Georgia,

Soxtalk as a GM: This guy is doing awesome! Call him up! Two weeks later: This guy sucks, cut him! Two years later: Why did they cut that guy, he is awesome!

I remember seeing Camilo Quintero get mentioned as a possibility during spring training, but haven't heard anything since... any word?

Whatever he did, hopefully he can sustain it. Also worth pointing out, a guy like this is exactly why there is no rush to get rid of players who don't perform instantly or even in a short period of time. Some dude take years to figure it out.

The damage from too SOON is WAY worse, than the damage from too LONG.

Everything about the White Sox is middle market, except the city they play in. Even at their absolute peak they weren't a big market team. Revenues, viewership, audience, etc all support that. We have a middle sized fan base when compared to the rest of baseball, who are extremely willing to jump ship at any time. Major market teams don't see that.

They are in a big market, but they are NOT a big market team. There is a difference.

That's why greg is an ultra-marathoner.

It very well could be something like the changes teams want him to make are obvious, but he won't... combined with roster crunches.

The injury time will keep Davidson out.

Having saw both of them pretty well, Rodman was WAY better as a Bull than Allen was as a member of the Heat.

Fair, though Allen was pretty well washed up by then.

I mean seriously. He won with 2 HOF players in Miami. He also won with Kyrie and Kevin Love (who was a top 10 NBA player until he got with LeBron) in Cleveland.
