Fallout 2: The Purge of the Sox Prize Vault, Grifol and Getz Flambe'ed.

Looks a bit like Jermaine Dye...stick him out in RF. Hope and pray the ball is hit directly at him.

Would rather have 80s 90s Jamie Gertz. Lost Boys rules! Colson will be the main promotion for 2025. Doubtful he even comes up this year.

Verlander was the obvious key. Victor Martinez/Pudge Rodriguez... Can't remember when the Miggy Cabrera deal went down now with MIA.

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?
