Collins should be batting every game regardless of pitchers’ handedness.

The complete picture with the White Sox is going to look eerily similar in terms of "how the players got where they are" It's fairly obvious the White Sox are attempting to follow this model. The fact that a certain low-rent poster (see my sig) apparently disagrees with me only solidifies my point. His takes are shockingly simple.

Houston had a complete culture change (new GM, new manager), White Sox had a complete culture change (new rebuild, new manager) Houston played poorly for a number of seasons and accrued high draft picks, White Sox played poorly and accrued high draft picks The difference is the White Sox were able to trade valuable assets for future talent. If the trend is any indication, the White Sox are approaching the upswing in performance in a similar fashion to what the Cubs and Astros did. So what I said was mostly accurate.

Being a Sox fan in Chicago is still a cultural thing. The issue is losing does nothing for the casual fan. That’s where losing hurts. Die hard fans will likely be there regardless but they don’t fill a stadium every night

Honestly, the only lesson to be learned is "don't trade for washed up pitchers" Tatis had never played a professional game when we traded him

It actually doesn’t. It has been mentioned before: Houston has an under .500 record and a ring. The Yankees are way over .500 and only have 1. In case it wasn’t obvious to you, we are on the Houston model

It’s fairly obvious Tatis was traded when the goal was different. Almost everything about the White Sox has changed since then.

Then I suggest you go do this: find all the worst trades in MLB history and see how all the teams fared. When you’re done report back. That was a different era in White Sox baseball. Stop living in the past.

Your therapist is underpaid.

This is one way to celebrate a White Sox win...

You’re right but this board won’t forgive you for it

Bulls are still bad... but Coby White could be a star.

Glad to see that, for sure. Greg should apply for it for funsies.

Moncada should always be second. Period.

@Real: Well, something bad might have happened, best go to soxtalk.com and take out my failing marriage on the message board. Soxtalk:

Does Abreu have any value?

Particularly if Anderson is healthy, I agree. I just wonder how desperate a fringe team that thinks they're close would get.

Noob gotta noob.

Spoken like someone who hasn't had a bad ankle sprain before. Moncada would have done the same exact thing. That was some scary shit.

Bring him back after the break.

Let him sit a few days

Put Colome on the trade block. See who is desperate.

Now is certainly not the time.
