QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Apr 24, 2017 -> 01:16 PM) Looks like me ragging on Adams for not K'ing anyone finally paid off. Having said that, let's see him carry that through to another start. IIRC, Tyler Danish struck out 9 in his last outing as well.

Not much to talk about tonight.

QUOTE (harkness @ Apr 23, 2017 -> 07:54 PM) Asche though? I mean I get the k rate... but we got one guy actually hitting and a horrible offense. But he doesn't play. The K rates are quite similar... Asche - 14K 35AB Davidson - 17K 34AB Davidson has 3 more HR and 9 more RBI than Asche. However, I fully expect Matt (and Avi Garcia) to ome back to Earth sooner rather than later. BTW, have the Sox won a game that Asche has started?

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Apr 23, 2017 -> 07:21 PM) Sox offense for the non shut out The Sox scored six (6) runs today... the same number of hits they had in game 1 and game 2 combined.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 23, 2017 -> 01:12 PM) Collins huge funk continues. 0-2 2k Ouch.

Saw him in the dugout today. He usually only plays against left handed starters.

QUOTE (Feeky Magee @ Apr 22, 2017 -> 07:36 PM) Future White Sox #3 starter Matt Cooper 1.0 IP, 0H, 0BB, 2K It sickens me whenever I think that this organization is hell bent on putting him in the bullpen.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Apr 22, 2017 -> 07:39 PM) Can we replace Asche with Delmonico already +1

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Apr 22, 2017 -> 08:43 AM) Can anyone the White Sox ever call up hit? Nobody on the active roster can hit...

He was on with Carmen and Jurko the other day. He raves about Willy Garcia. Just an OK listen, if anybody's interested... Grudzielanek on ESPN 1000

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Apr 16, 2017 -> 07:14 PM) I know he's a little bit older but Cooper has done nothing but produce since being draft. He's at least intriguing. I'd like to see him get a year at Charlotte first. IMO, he's a very underrated prospect.

I didn't realize (or just plain forgot) that Kevan Smith was a QB in college. That got me thinking about a few other collegiate signalcallers that went on to wear a White Sox uniform. Joe Borchard - Stanford Josh Fields - Oklahoma State Clayton Richard - Michigan Scott Carroll - Purdue/Missouri State Kevan Smith - Pitt Any others?

QUOTE (southside guru @ Apr 15, 2017 -> 03:40 PM) Adolfo back in the lineup for Kanny That's great to see. He went 1-3 with 1 run scored. Joel Booker went 3-4 and Mitch Roman was 2-4. Booker (.390) and Roman (.457) are both off to GREAT starts. The 2016 draft keeps looking better all the time.

QUOTE (joejoedairy @ Apr 13, 2017 -> 04:08 PM) Speaking of neither of them, are people no longer excited about Spencer Adams. With all the talent that came into the system this past offseason, I think he got lost in the shuffle more than anything else.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Apr 12, 2017 -> 12:12 PM) Good to see Johan cruz with another hit. It'd be nice to get a full year of health and some punch at the plate from him. I feel the same way about Jameson Fisher and Micker Adolfo.

QUOTE (Sleepy Harold @ Apr 10, 2017 -> 11:18 AM) Birmingham just started, Cooper on the mound Charlotte (4-0) @ Durham (3-1), MiLB.tv, Pelfrey vs Whitley 6:05 PM ET Birmingham (1-3) @ Jackson (3-1), MiLB.tv, Cooper vs Young LIVE Winston Salem (0-4) @ Down East (3-1), McRee vs Martin, 7:00 PM ET Rome (4-0) @ Kannapolis (0-4), Wentz vs Solorzano, 7:05 PM ET Charlotte is 4-0. The rest of the system is 1-11.

Is anybody here willing to try this? Alexei's pregame meal

I hope this isn't a jinx... I'll say Alec Hansen and Joel Booker.

QUOTE (Tony @ Apr 1, 2017 -> 05:32 PM) This is as happy I've been as a Sox fan for probably the last 4 seasons?? And before Greg comes in with his bulls***, no one is happy they are going to be bad. It's about using just a tad of intellect, understanding the path they were on was NOT working and they finally seem to have a plan with a long term objective in mind. Let's not kid ourselves, aside from a fun April in 2016, we haven't seen a lot of quality baseball on the South Side in a while. This is going to be worse, but it's not like they are coming off a 95 win season. At least now they are trying to lose, and it's for a purpose. This is one of the best posts I have ever read on any message board.

QUOTE (Sox-35th @ Apr 1, 2017 -> 05:21 PM) But please, greg. I'll say it again. Stay away. It took a lot of us a very long time to accept that the rebuild is the best thing for this organization. We don't really need you whining and crying about how bad the team is. We know it's bad. We have a solid GM who is watching the same thing we are. Greg sounds like many Cub fans did 4 or 5 years ago and guess what??? they all came back. Sometimes you've got to go through hell before you get to heaven. I endured the rebuild of the late 80s, and I was rewarded for it. My health keeps me from attending games, but I will be watching them on TV (as I always do).

Anybody hear AJ on The SCORE the other day? Excellent interview. Hope this works. download.podcast.play.it/media/d0/d0/d1/dE/dH/dN/d9/1EHN9_3.MP3?show=Interviews+on+670+The+Score&category=Sports+%26+Recreation&callsign=WSCRAM&market=Chicago&awCollectionId=787&awEpisodeId=759290

QUOTE (ChiSox59 @ Mar 30, 2017 -> 04:34 PM) So is this guys going to go by Luis Moirán once he gets to the states? Kind of like Jose Abreu going by Jose Dariel before he came over. Or more like Yasiel Puig Valdez sticking with Yasiel Puig? Just curious. Not sure what is customary for the Cubans. When Micker Adolfo signed, he was known as Micker Zapata. Now Carlos Sanchez wants to be known as "Yolmer." A lot of Latin players change their names for whatever reason.

Have there been any Alec Hansen sightings this spring training?

QUOTE (GreenSox @ Mar 25, 2017 -> 08:05 AM) Several 3B didn't really get it until they were 25+ (Donaldson, Frazier, e.g.) There were a lot of people who thought Robin Ventura would never play 3B in the Major Leagues. Six Gold Gloves later... This is a good discussion, but it seems like some are forgetting that the Sox play in the AMERICAN League. If all he can do is hit, there will be a spot in the lineup for him.

QUOTE (yesterday333 @ Mar 23, 2017 -> 01:29 PM) Great article. Makes me want to keep Abreu. Seems like he could be a stabilizing influence on Moncada. I was in the "trade Abreu" camp since he's not getting any younger, and his trade value is not likely to get any higher than it is right now. But after reading this article, i now think that his value to this team as a mentor is much greater than anything we'd get for him in a trade.
