Jeff Keppinger Hahn's first free agent. Nick Swisher Adam Dunn Javy Vasquez Adam LaRoche

Because it usually goes with "old".

That GS robbery might end up being the key moment in turning his season around when all is said and done.

Getz just sucks. And it's not like he is even connected to Vaughn's failure compared to Rick Hahn. Andrew hardly had time to be blamed on minor league development mistakes anyway. Sticking him in the outfield due to Abreu's presence was the first cardinal sin.

Meidroth and Quero are not going to be traditional counting stats stand out so...more players you grow to appreciate watching them day after day, month after month.

Greg doing a full 180 in less than a week. Venable MoY?

This is for WestEddy...proof someone is helping Elko WITH the Sox lol. "Hitting director Ryan Fuller said Elko was primarily tasked with curbing his chasing this offseason, but with the notion that narrowing his focus would benefit his in-zone contact rates as well. He was an avid adopter of the White Sox' new Trajekt machine in spring training, and has maintained a steady routine of slightly less fancy pitching machine work in Charlotte. "He's an intelligent kid and does his homework," said Knights manager Sergio Santos. "He's in there with [Charlotte hitting coach] Jim Rickon and what they kind of do is challenge themselves. They'll have the machine and Jim will mess with the dials and [Elko] will have to make that decision whether to swing or not, and it's definitely helped."

"Shredding against International League pitching in possibly the country's most hitter-friendly ballpark at an advanced age is very far from a 1-to-1 comparison to major league production. But even if this is simply the minor league heater of a lifetime, since Elko is still rocking a 28 percent strikeout rate that threatens to elevate upon promotion, it comes alongside meaningful swing decision improvement that has made the Ole Miss legend's well-known contact issues less disqualifying. "He's putting together all-around quality at-bats," Chris Getz said. "He's always hit the ball hard. He's actually increased how hard he's hitting it, and most importantly, how often he's doing it. He's certainly leading the organization in home runs, and I think he's at the top in minor-league baseball."

https://www.mlb.com/gameday/astros-vs-white-sox/2025/05/03/778066/preview Benintendi Robert Taylor and Thaiss should all be in the lineup. Going with 28-32000 attendance unless the weather is really bad again...day game though. Looks like 47-50 degrees, partly sunny with 10 degree winds for this one.

Unless we luck out with a bidding war between 2-3 teams AND also are willing to trade him inside the AL Central this time around...probably for injured Luke Keaschall lol.

RS/RA...might need a closer after 2025 20 Tie. White Sox/A's -20 (9-23, but expected w/l 14-18/1-8 one run games) 22.Rangers -24 23.Cleveland -26 24.Toronto -30 25.Nats -36 26.Pirates -43 27.Baltimore -46 28.LAA -55 29.Marlins -56 30.Rockies -80 (6-26)

Liam Hendriks

Up until two weeks ago we didn't know he was even going to turn his season around...or end up as anything but another version of 2024 Moncada. Half of us wanted to hold on and roll the dive that he would be productive AND not injured...the other half wanted to dump him for the best possible deal out of ST.

.346 .469 .731 1.200 ops last seven games .845 ops last 15 games Tied for second with Elly de la Cruz 13 stolen bases

Hunter Brown is probably going to be a big dose of reality tmrw but we shall see.

But we have Greg Jones...who hits better than Amaya, slightly.

Taylor finally comes through tonight...

M&M's guy is back Windy City limos

Brilliant strategy lol

why are you hunting for Amaya?????

Uh oh Leasure getting another shot to hold a lead... Can never manage to have a clean inning seemingly.

Uh oh Leasure getting another shot to hold a lead...

Robert up to 668 ops...

Another Robert walk battles back from two strikes. Scott held the ball to the last possible second. ONeil Cruz 14 steals...two tonight Elly de la Cruz and Robert 13

13866 for fireworks freezing your butt off night.
