  1. 3 runs are going to be tough to overcome, 4 runs, even tougher. It’s statements like that which get Steve Stone the big bucks.
  2. Still in it. Yost is going to have to go to that bullpen sometime.
  3. They are bad. We know they are going to have some really bad games, Opening Day stinkers suck.
  4. Rodon looked decent before he ran out of gas. Everyone else looks like they checked out during the rain delay.
  5. The White Sox don't play in a warm weather city or on the road vs. a team with a roof until May 10th. Stupid.
  6. I'm pretty sure, based on his Spring, Montas is going to be a HOFer.
  7. I like Disabled List better than Injured List.
  8. It was after. At the time of the trade, he was a good prospect, not outstanding. His signing bonus was well under $1 million. He hadn't yet played for the White Sox or else, perhaps they don't do that trade. Very unfortunate.
  9. Madrigal could hit.400 and people would complain
  10. Hawk still listed as a broadcaster on the updated White Sox website. He will probably be a full in.
  11. Big Frank back as a White Sox analyst on NBCSC
  12. Twitter will probably mess this potential signing. Right Rick?
  13. One thing that concerns me is his lack of playing. He was idle a long time before he signed, then hardly played and was hurt. And he missed a lot of time last year. That is development time he isn't getting back. Sometimes layoffs like these can really derail a career. There is no doubt about his physical ability
  14. The Sox could average 97.5 wins the next 4 seasons and Rik Hahn as a GM would still be under.500
  15. Robin Ventura. They gave away Ray Durham. Alex Fernandez. White flag trade had some free agents to be. Jack McDowell, another give away.
  16. They let Buehrle go after 2011, and he was willing to take less than the Marlins offer. Might have cost them a division in 2012.
  17. When he got hurt and was laying on the field, Ozzie told him he should have signed the extension. Boras got him more money.
  18. No chance. They tried to trade him for Nomar when the freight for his back loaded contract came due. He and Boras were done with the White Sox Hang is good at negotiating contacts with young guys when he has most of the leverage. When the player gets the leverage, his negotiating skills are for the most part, moot.

  20. I don't know, there are more than a couple of scouts who say Witt is going to have to overcome some issues which will make him initially a swing and miss guy. Who thinks the White Sox are the organization that can fix that? I can't see Adley not going #1, but if he doesn't, #2 has to be a lock. If the White Sox are hoping for Vaughn, I am right there with them.
  21. I forgot who it was, it was either Seattle or Toronto or Milwaukee, but last season was the first time they had opened the season at home in something like 10 years even though they had a roof. I was watching a game on MLBN, and they were so happy they got to open at home. Especially now that the season starts in March, let the dome and warmer weather teams have the first week at home. Opening Day is always big, but it's even bigger when it's actually the first game of the season. The weather obviously can be anything in April, but one week can make a huge difference.
  22. Right now Luis Robert is a combine star. Hopefully, it will translate in games, and he can somehow stay healthy.
  23. If the Dodgers didn’t do the trade because it was leaked, wouldn’t that make the White Sox the leakers? So apparently RH should have a problem with his own house.
  24. His comment was right on. Whether the Sox would have gone after Verlander or actually had a chance, is anyone’s guess, but it is another top line guyout of next years pool, which seems to be draining quickly. The Sox aren’t going to have another opportunity with just the Padres as their competition. They fucked up. Big time. Fewer stars, more big spenders interested means the Sox go back to signing their lowered level guys , hope everything goes right, and maintaining payroll space so they can add at the deadline when they are 10 games out.
