  1. Goals for 2025 "The White Sox might be the only team in baseball that should be satisfied with finishing last overall next season. This is an organization that needs to follow the lead of teams such as the Orioles and Astros, who fell to the cellar for multiple years before using their draft picks to build a sustainable contender. Still, there are other ways for Chicago to measure success. Even though the team will have a losing record, it should strive to be much more competitive in 2025. It’s time to put an end to memorable losing streaks, and for the sake of the younger players, this team needs to develop a competitive mindset next year. Beyond the scoreboard, 2025 success in Chicago will be measured by the improvement of the organization’s younger players. Position players such as Vargas, Robert and Vaughn need to take a step forward or bounce back. Crochet, assuming he stays with the organization, must continue to establish himself as a workhorse. Young pitchers such as Cannon, Thorpe and Ky Bush need to make progress toward being trusted rotation members. And hopefully, some of the minor leaguers mentioned above can give White Sox fans a glimpse of a brighter future." Not really anything new. Hard to consider Bush a top rotation candidate...Burke would definitely be the rising star possibility after his two starts. Crochet and Robert 90% of focus. And the usual MiLB suspects like Schultz Smith Montgomery Quero. Astros/Orioles comps completely useless if they can't enjoy consistent run of Top 1-5 first rounders over 3-4 years of bottoming out. Stupid Yahoo Sports keeps changing their headlines and then there are numerous others like Bell firing in Cincy under the same link.

  5. Why would you want to tarnish his name by forever affixing it to the 2024 Sox team? Wasn't he experiencing back problems weeks ago? Of it's only to sit on the bench and observe and be inspired to fight for the starting role in 2025...but they would still be short circuiting his development by a half season in the minors.
  6. I should have said if they get mowed down by AL East/West opponents like NY, Balt and Houston.
  7. For example, treated Benetti more like he would a typical White Sox fan, rather than privileged "insiders" like KW, Hahn and Boyer. Basically, Jason was too "blue collar" in his behavior and not a true BLUE blood. An other, to him personally. Despite the fact he grew up a dyed in the wool White Sox lifer. His effort at putting him in his place or not letting Benetti get too big for his britches backfired spectacularly.
  8. Until they brought in Miggy via trade and drafted Verlander...yeah.
  9. Then you have to consider the cost of living in Chicago, it should be a $60-75,000 position but they're relying on twenty-somethings to have their parents subsidize salaries and all those kids to remain living at home indefinitely in order to save money.
  10. More middle infielders without any dominant tools...more please. Baldwin Gonzalez coming next to an infield near you.
  11. So Marlins Mets DBacks and Red Sox. Ties to AJ Hinch of all people. Marlins have broken many a front office executive and scout over the years. Not a straight line of service with the Mets going back to 2009.
  12. Home » Articles » White Sox hire David Keller to run international scouting department ArticlesMinor LeaguesMLBNews WHITE SOX HIRE DAVID KELLER TO RUN INTERNATIONAL SCOUTING DEPARTMENT written by Joe BinderSeptember 22, 2024 1 comment The White Sox have made a quiet addition to their scouting staff. Based on a tweet from MLB insider Jon Heyman, it appears Keller was hired back by the Mets in 2017. He is currently listed as a “Special Assignment Scout” on New York’s staff directory. https://www.soxon35th.com/white-sox-hire-david-keller-to-run-international-scouting-department/

  16. It will start this off season if none of the three AL Central teams advance out of the first round.
  17. This article needs two separate sub articles on Sox PR/Broadcasting/Media Relations Boyer vs. Harrelson Benetti and then the current Stone Schiffren fiasco...and the focus on ticket sales and agents over analytics. (Will never get Len Kasper on record about his regrets...unfortunately.) Then another on international scouting going back to Kenny Williams/Dave Wilder/skimming/Club Burn through the Cuban Connection and the eventual firing of the intl scouting director who had won Scout of the Year just 2-3 seasons ago.
  18. Surely will bring Pete Alonso on board...who will proceed to turn out like 2011 Adam Dunn or David Wright.
  19. Greg Prince, who pens the popular blog “Faith and Fear in Flushing” and has written four books about the Mets, ultimately agrees with the majority. “I’ve been charmed by all that went into creating 40-120 my entire rooting life,” Prince wrote in an email. “The legend of the 1962 club will endure no matter who holds the record. All that being said, hell yes, let somebody else lose more than my team. Plus, you know, history. Somebody setting a mark like this while we’re here to witness it is worth a dozen Danny Jansens facing off against another dozen Danny Jansens.” https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5729682/2024/08/30/mets-white-sox-mlb-most-losses/ 9 living members still from that 1962 Mets' team...just thought it was ironic we hired someone to run intl scouting from the Mets who JR would undoubtedly rather associate with the 2024 Mets The nine living 1962 Mets are Jay Hook, Craig Anderson, Felix Mantilla, Cliff Cook, Galen Cisco, Rick Herrscher, Jim Marshall, John DeMerit, and Ed Kranepool.
  20. Those '88 O's, who were already on their second manager before the streak was even half over, ended the streak with a 9-0 win against ... the White Sox. They then dropped to next two games in that series. From 0-21 they went on to go 54 - 86 (.388) to finish at 54 - 107 (.335) https://phpbb3.ultimatemets.com/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=33629 Mets' fan board following Sox as they close in on 1962 Mets
  21. All the praise for the Bummer move like we ended up with some kind of bounty of impacful talent because they were Braves...that was just ATL taking out the garbage and saving themselves a bunch of money on Lopez and Soroka, who they were likely going to cut anyway. Shewmake? Would have been better much better off simply keeping Romy Gonzalez. Shuster has been okay as a poor man's Tanner Banks.
  22. Did they ever figure out who was responsible for the Gonzalez graphic last year when his numbers were absolutely horrific? Baseball America? Someone was messing with the Sox about their #1 pick.
  23. The Camden Riversharks were an American professional baseball team based in Camden, New Jersey, from 2001 to 2015. They were a member of the Liberty Division of the Atlantic League of Professional Baseball, which was not at that time affiliated with Major League Baseball.
