Nice Job. From 1990-2008 the White Sox were 5th in MLB in winning percentage. Name the 4 teams in front of them. 2 are easy, the other two aren't.

It shouldn't matter though. DSL is a worse league than Serie Nacional in Cuba. They say the Cuban League is somewhere between A+ and AA.

Yup. Wynn in '59, Hoyt in '83 and McDowell in '93 are the answers. Next, 2 White Sox hitters other than Frank Thomas have won AL MVP. Who did it, and in what year did they win AL MVP?

Random Sox Trivia
Incorrect on the 2nd. McDowell in 93 is correct. El Narco finished 2nd to Roy Halladay in 2003.

The White Sox have only had 3 Cy Young winners in team history. Name them, and the year in which they won. If you watched beer money Tuesday during the rain delay this should be easy.

It was 1998. He only played for the Sox in 97 and 98.

Correct, what year?

Incorrect. This should be fairly easy, c'mon guys.

Fun fact: the Sox have never had a single season 50 HR hitter. Name the player that came closest, and the year he achieved it.

Yolbert Sanchez sucks. It makes me have almost zero faith in the Sox amateur scouting. Hitting .239 as a 22 year old in the DSL is really bad. If he was a real prospect he'd be torching that league.

I love that. I want a 1983 Sox home Jersey that says 83 Nation on the back but I can't afford it.

He could still mix it in every now and then during at bats when the fastball and cutter aren't enough to get a hitter out. I thought that AB vs. Springer was the perfect time to break it out.

They didn't have to show that, but that's pretty cool of McCann to sign those balls for those kids immediately after a game.

Colome has a nasty changeup that I have no idea why he doesn't use more. He's barely thrown it this season.

You better be 100% certain a guy can start if you're taking him that high.
-

Yes, but he started his Junior year. It's different if they think a guy can start. Never was the case with Burdi.

Whyyy does it always have to be so hard.
-

I hope that Burdi has taught them to never pick a college reliever in the 1st 2 rounds again. That pick should have been Dane Dunning.

Shit I'd rather see Vieira, control issues and all. I'd like them to give him another look.

I agree completely. Osich should be the first guy sent down. At least Cordero and Fulmer are interesting.
-

I wouldn't count on him next year. He's a guy I'd definitely upgrade. Remember Cliff Politte in 2005 and 2006? Kinda like that.
