2nd Generation Rebuild
Sale, Q, Eaton were ll of a initial rebuild that couldn't compete, hence why we haven't had a winning season since Kopech was a HS sophomore I don't think we can endure anymore losing for a new wave of prospects It's go time

2nd Generation Rebuild
So wouldn't this be 3rd generation rebuild? Enough already

Team USA 2020 Olympics team has 2 Sox prospects
Forgot how fast the Olympics were approaching Would prefer for them to both be in Chicago, but realistically they'll both be up in September of 2020 at the absolute earliest, more likely 2021

Chicago writer adds Q, R.Hill and Hamels to FA want list
Cubs can opt out, potentially

Chicago writer adds Q, R.Hill and Hamels to FA want list
You think JR wants to go nuts in the bank book? Hell no, this organization is what it is...Cole ain't coming here, and nor is Strasburg...Hopefully we just don't overpay mediocre talent like Wheeler

Chicago writer adds Q, R.Hill and Hamels to FA want list
Could get behind the idea of any of the 3 I previously proposed bringing in Q AND Hamels for the right price Q>Hamels>Hill for me I expect Cole, Strasburg, Bumgarner, Keuchel, Ryu will all be out of price range and don't want to overpay any of them nor Wheeler or Odorizzi...The group of Q/Hamels/Miley appeals more to me with Kopech, Gio, Cease in the picture, Rodon coming back, and Lopez still here...Hell, wouldn't shock me to see Nova back for pennies with this FO (hope not) Ideally want Cole/Strasburg but won't happen Gio-Q-Hamels-Lopez-Cease looks pretty damn solid with Kopech and Rodon returning too (And Dunning at some point), can compete now AND ease these guys back in/compete long term

A Realistic Offseason
Wild because Cashman has been trying to dump him for years, don't think he lets him leave now

2020 MLB Draft Thread
I thought that's a reason why some were against Machado

The White Sox way

2020 MLB Draft Thread
Pick 11, the first pick that's unprotected of course

2020 Coaching Changes
Believe it when I see it If they go, why keep Ricky? Dump 'em all
-
A Realistic Offseason
- When healthy, Avi always had a respectable AVG na drespectable pop - I'd want him to DH and backup in RF and don't value WAR - Who? Castellanos? Maybe
-
A Realistic Offseason
What about to DH for cheap when we accept JDM isn't an option? A .280 and 20+ bombs looks good to me
-
A Realistic Offseason
Can't see CWS winning over Cole, Strasburg, Ozuna types...hopefully I'm wrong...Winning isn't determined by money spent however, I love the youth of this team and rather see them develop than overpay a handful of guys I'd say it's very "real" Hahn and KW fall flat yet again and settle for lesser, but hopefully effective FAs Aside from getting stuck with likely expensive deals with older players, I don't see them happening, not with this FO, they'll be outbid on both and if they aren't they're overpaying which I fear Grandal I wouldn't mid as much as Gardner, but he'll be a lot of money for a .240 AVG

Will Jose's number get retired?
Imagine these last years without him...Not sure I could even follow
-
A Realistic Offseason
I like bringing Abreu back (3/42?) and ridding ourselves of deadweight Otherwise, hard pass on Gardner, Grandal, Lowrie, Nimmo (unless crazy cheap) Cole is a pipe dream, as is Ozuna probably unfortunately While I want Cole/Strasburg/Ozuna as Sox I think we should prepare ourselves for Alex Gordon/Nick Markakis and a Miley/Hamels type Former Sox Avisail Garcia and Jose Quintana honestly make sense for us as well That being said, fully comfortable with: McCann Abreu Madrigal Moncada Anderson Eloy Robert Leury Collins, Yolmer on bench And Gio, Kopech (on IP limit), Cease, Lopez, and eventually Rodon Wouldn't be upset with Avi, Gordon, Q, and Hamels as offseason acquisitions Obviously prefer JD Martinez, Ozuna/Castellanos, Cole and Wheeler, but let's get real Gio, Q, Hamels, Cease, Lopez, Kopech*, Rodon* Robert, Anderson, Moncada, Abreu, Eloy, Gordon, Avi, McCann, Madrigal Quality bench in Collins, Sanchez, Leury

Chris Sale
Best days are behind him Grab me a Cole/Strasburg or a Wheeler with a Hamels/Miley

Will Jose's number get retired?
Hall of very good in Sox history, thankful for 79 however, can't imagine this era without him
-
2020 Coaching Changes
God i wish they'd bring in a new, respectable staff (Sciosia, Madden, Girardi) Highly doubt Renteria is an MLB manager if he's not on Sox payroll right now
-
Zack Collins
Thought it was a 1 year deal, team option?
-
Zack Collins
Regardless, I hope McCann is brought back on a 2 year deal...McCann/Collins and /or a FA is a quality depth at C, Zavala too So anxious for the offseason, really hope they make smart moves (If only they'd move on from Ricky)

Can reylo make a similar jump as giolito did this year in 2020?
Gio is the exception, not the rule While I hope ReyLo can improve, only time can tell We know the talent is there, really about finding consistency and limiting the homers (which Gio can do too)
