Yes all true. Also paying less in advance with contracts for still unproven players results in less money paid out, but it also steals motivation. Why work for your first big contract when you already got it? Swing at anything and try to make the highlight reel back home. Move a runner over or bunt? Don't be ridiculous. I'm a star. Stars don't do that. They hit homers.

I think they are free swingers and can't get it through their head not to chase off speed stuff. Why? In order to get noticed back on the island or in South America you had to HIT. Walks will not get you a big league contract. They just can't change, This mentality got them here. MLB pitchers exploit this, Will they learn in time? Some do.

The further you get geographically the further away you get emotionally.

Fair weather fan

I'm still not giving up. GO SOX!

Point taken but maybe they simply put them in a position to almost win. Either ya do or ya don't. Everyone has a reason why they didn't. If you don't believe me just ask'em.

He's the reason the Aron Rowand Jim Thome trade was made. He would take over centerfield. He had a few good moments, A 3 homer game in Seattle?

c'mon lets not be a bunch of quitters. Circle the wagons and fight.

If winning a championship is the true litmus test then Rays have ZERO championships and the Dodgers have the same as the white Sox (ONE) since 1988.

The Cubs? Maybe you are on the wrong board. The Cubs won one in 2016. The sox won one in 2005. They got one we got one. The only difference? The White Sox didn't go 108 years between championships. A record that will never be broken.

No you won't

As long as JR owns the team we must live with his choices. Its a take it or leave it. Getz would probably be next up. Maybe not all bad. A midwestern guy. A former major leaguer. Familiar with the organization on multiple levels. He has been groomed. Remember its not our choice its JR's. Who would he chose that would be better?

OK prepare to rip me apart. Its only April. It looks bad but there is talent here. There have been teams rise from the dead much later in the season. Lets not give up. The teams in our division can be had. Anderson is the spark and hopefully Liam will be back. Keep your chins up boys. f***'em lets fight. Lets go, go go White Sox

Hooooo Boy. This hurts.

As soon as he wakes up and sobers up he will call........could be a while.

Yep. So far so good, but let him get around the league once. Seems as if he is already getting more off speed pitches in the dirt. If he chases........well he will have to adjust. Refreshing though to see a real outfielder in right. Left and center too this season.

If he asked today he would need to speak Spanish.

Lets see, Al Lopez a winner but not so well liked by his players, Eddie Stanky universally detested in MLB circles, Ozzie excommunicated, Joe Gerardi considered a jerk. So who fits that mold? A.J Pierzinski is up next.

I guess I'm just venting. Like everyone on this site I'm frustrated. I realize times change. I still believe, however, young men respond to discipline. They need and want to be led. So if they don't respond and we finish 4th or 5th, what's the difference from finishing third?

Isn't it enough the team has made most of these unproven players multi millionaires? Does the manager have to handle them like fragile flowers. What ever happened to a hard ass manager? Maybe a Joe Gerardi or Ozzie Guillen type. Produce or sit. You sit you don't get your precious stats. You're hurt again? You go on the 60day dl. See how that affects your star status.

Phillies looking to get well on Sox pen.

In todays world lucky no one got shot.

even better

The biggest contribution Bummer can give us is going back on the DL

Yeah I guess standing in left field can really tire out a young strong athlete. Ridiculous
