Not very superb.

Is he from S. Carolina or somehow related to MTG?

So was Joe Borchard. He probably still possesses more power in his bat.

Eloy? Of the 2017 Futures Game?

Still alive!!!

The all-time shutout record for one season? Deliberately trying to self-sabotage for an unconditional release/DFA?

Gen.McArthur: I will be back for the heart of the Sox line-up.

There's still time left to buy a delightfully-overpriced Campfire Milkshake if you hurry.

It's not time again for a Michael Kopech leg/foot/ankle injury again, is it? Guess we messed up the season when we didn't trade for Ortiz and his 845 OPS...would be second to Sheets. And certainly could have used DL Hall as well.

Classic Civil War Buff/Reenactor

Well, apparently they're determined not to ever announce a crowd this season with just four digits. Because THAT would apparently be TOO embarrassing.

They don't need difference makers. They just need REAL major leaguers/competence/respectability. Dominic Fletcher was the closest they could claim to a difference-maker added the entire offseason. That tells you pretty much all that you need to know.

Jesse Winker, check him out. Lugo ERA down to 1.05. Like the those historic 1967-68 pitching numbers....when you face the White Sox frequently.

Man, those were some ugly...albeit colorful, uniforms that year. A far cry from the iconic hat style coming just a few short years later.

That would require someone in this group to basically be a highly opinionated Cy Young-winning pitcher...a run on Soul Glo for Melido as well as an abbreviated no hitter and finally, a crafty shorter than average lhp gainng the moniker of Bulldog.

Also cutting back on the scouting budget...

Grifol simply can't survive without the quintessential veteran loogy. Plus, Royals connection.

This typically works about as well as the dreaded "vote of confidence."

https://www.mlb.com/news/former-mlb-players-reflect-on-wearing-number-42 Jack Perconte was the quintessential 1980s second baseman: a .270 career hitter over seven seasons, more walks than strikeouts, two career home runs in 1,630 plate appearances, able to steal 30 bags in a full season, and a solid defender. He debuted with the Dodgers in 1980 before spending two seasons each in Cleveland and Seattle. His final stop was with the White Sox in 1986. “I was given forty-two for my short stint with the Chicago White Sox,” he wrote on his website. “That memory is right up there with my few accomplishments on the big-league stage, and with each passing year, I consider it my proudest achievement.” That first game in Chicago, on Aug. 25, 1986, was memorable for another reason, he wrote: “For my first night with the White Sox, along with the number 42 on my jersey, was the name Preconte. I played with a misspelled last name for an entire game. That is how sports go; the low is never far behind every high. Ha.” But the importance of the jersey number didn’t resonate with Perconte right away.

Give him more deep dish pizza so he eats his way off the team…

What's the worst thing that could possibly happen? More stabbings outside gentlemen's establishments?

Washington Nationals (-) Signed to a minor-league deal, Jesse Winker (.341 average, .982 OPS) could be an interesting trade target this summer. Why did they even bother to acquire DeLoach when they were simply going to waste even more money on Pham/Pillar/Grossman/Phillips, etc.???

Still not accounting for two additional losses...at any rate, next loss against KC would be for a 20-142 pace.

Just try to find a good 3B for fantasy leagues, lol. I have about 5 SS already, but third is really bereft of impact talent once you get past the top 5-6 guys. At the very least, Burger was a fan favorite...would be the top offensive player on this year's team (after Robert went down) and the obvious replacement for Moncada at third. Now Colson could certainly end up at third, or even Ramos, but that would leave the Sox a SS short again, unless you believe in the sudden resurgence of last year's first round pick after less than two weeks of action.

"One pitcher to keep a close eye on this year is the White Sox’s Garrett Crochet. A No. 1 draft choice out of Tennessee in 2020, Crochet was called up to the majors as a reliever Sept. 18 that year and from there to the end of the season he threw the second-most 100-mph pitches (45 out of a total of 85 or 52.9%) in the majors. A year later, in April 2022, he underwent Tommy John surgery. This season the White Sox made him a starter where he’s so far been close to unhittable — but heading into the weekend, he hadn’t thrown a single 100-mph pitch and his average four-seam fastball has been 94 mph. It would seem he’s learned from the Tommy John surgery the necessity of being a pitcher and not just a thrower." https://www.yahoo.com/sports/bill-madden-baseball-obsession-velocity-093000833.html
