I'm not. I am pointing out he was never charged. His accuser failed a lie detector, made the bed, kissed him goodbye, and it was 30 years ago. There is a pretty decent chance he's not quilts of anything other than being horny of .which he had a big reputation . Why there should be some cloud hanging over him now issilly. Funny, no one here said anything about it when Vince Coleman who is a known asshole, came to the Sox as a baserunning instructor. I guess the key is to determine how good you are at a job before determining if questionable things that were alleged should have DQd you in the first place. Not necessary rape, but have you been accused ever of doing something you didn't do? It does happen.

Cole Khmer is the first Bear receiver to have 2 or more TDS on consecutive games since 1964.

Don’t know but probably not very many. Winfield is a HOFer, and if Judge matches him a team will be overpaying him quite a bit. He played until he was 44 or 45. Hitters don’t age as well today. I think because of the max effort pitching movement. Plus one would suspect his defense will decline. I would love to have hi for 2 or 3 years, but the last few years of his deal, the team that gets him, and their fans, will be counting down to its expiration. -
So anyone accused of anything shouldn't be able to work. Got it. If you ever read the story you will see where there are some cracks. Her friend who she swapped Darling and Cone on the same night sort of remained neutral. She did give DBo and Vince Coleman kisses goodbye when she left. Could be a coping mechanism, could be someone got a bit overserved and did something they regretted. I don't know. But to say Boston is a bad guy without really knowing what happened is a reach. I am all for victims rights. But these guys weren't charged and yet many are disgusted Daryl Boston has anything to do with the White Sox. That's crazy to me.

Engel is faster and 1/5 the price, at least.

I don’t know what the big deal is about being a good base runner if you don’t get on base.

Guys that tall generally don’t age well. For players 6 foot 6 and taller, Dave Winfield is the all time post 30 WAR leader at 26. Hawks buddy Frank Howard is next at 17. 3rd place is Giancarlo Stanton at 3.8. I would think Judge will eventually be at the top, but It’s a big risk. -

Which would be ridiculous. It shows he has no confidence in his people building a team that fans will be interested to watch at the ballpark or on TV. Why are those clowns still making decisions? This half assed approach has worked once in 42 seasons. Why is it still being attempted? White Sox fans deserve ownership committed to winning. If you are going to go for it, go for it. Or sell the team to someone who will. That way we all win. Sox fans can follow a team who believes winning is more important than be totally loyal to dear leader.And JR can spend the rest of his days counting his money. -
Never was a fan of the 83 uniform. I always thought they looked like space suits. I love the black tops, but they wear them way too often.

The best he could have done was give his his $1 million buyout and tell him to go scratch. Instead he traded for a guy who couldn't hit righties and couldn't play RF. You almost have to try to be that wrong.

The obnoxious thing was he and Krause couldn't wait for the Jordan era to end. They thought they were so smart, and were jealous the players and Phil were getting all the credit. I think it has since been beat by "the Process" but the 5 years after Jordan were at that point, the worst 5 year cumulative record in NBA history. Without MJ, JR is a total failure.

I don't think people realize what an awful location that would be for a baseball park. Hard to get to. The nearest CTA train is a mile away. If anyone has ever been to a Bears game and decided to take a bus from Roosevelt, the closest station to Soldier Field, it takes longer than walking due to heavy Lake Shore Drive traffic. Its OK for the Bears 10 times a year on Sundays. But 81 games a year, most during the work week, would be a nightmare. The other thing is, the biggest complaint about the Sox current home, is lack of restaurants and bars around it. If the Sox moved to Soldier Field, that situation would be worse. -

He seems to be OK now, but this will start before then. -

I think they are or at least were counting on a period of sustained winning to then lobby for a stadium. Being a disaster hurts, and I think the sweetheart rents and building billionaires stadiums are a thing of the past. JR and Bill Wirtz did build the United Center mostly public fund free. He can do it again. -

Its coming soon. In the White Sox lease, the last couple of years of the lease, the state is not obligated to provide stadium updates that have become standard at other parks. They are now. -
4.0 WAR 3B would be kind of nice. I'm with you. I think there is more there. Hopefully a new staff and a new year get him there.

It's fascinating what it takes to get fired from the White Sox. Larry Himes builds a 94 win team with the lowest payroll in baseball, gets canned. OK, he's known to be miserable and JR doesn't like him, but fired? Really? Gene Lamont was a pretty good manager. Coming off 2 consecutive division titles, the only White Sox manager ever to do this, his GM guts his team and makes him rely on washed up guys like Sabo and Kruk and Dibble and Stieb. He gets canned quickly. Renteria does what he is supposed to do, gets the rebuild into the playoffs, but only has 2 starters. They obviously lose, everyone would have lost, he's canned. RH, LaRussa, the list is long, of White Sox employees maybe not even mediocre at their jobs with basically lifetime security. It is probably the biggest problem with the organization. Everyone plays favorites, but JR takes it way too far. -

The guy is older and has pretty much sucked except for last year. Unless he’s the second coming of Rich Hill, I think the Angels are going to be sad soon. -
It’s not one and done, and then if you win, staring the next series with your #1 pitcher last in line. Plus it looked like the little layoff did hurt the non WC teams initially.

It will be a lot different with the expanded playoffs and WC teams with less of a disadvantage. Also, with the new schedule, many of these teams won’t be able to beat up on their weak divisions as much. The White Sox schedule will be much tougher in 2023 than in 2022.
