    f***ing internet connection completely skipped over his AB. Did he double?

     

    Yes. RBI double to the wall, bounced over.

  2. I love Hawk because I grew up on Hawk, and he is an all time great. But as a broadcaster he is way past his prime. He is only hurting his great legacy by continuing on IMO.

     

    Benetti is a fine broadcaster. He isn't Hawk. But that shouldn't be held against him. Filling Hawk's broadcasting shoes is a tall task no doubt. Could Benetti use some old school baseball broadcasting flavor? Sure. But I am willing to let him continue to grow into the job before completely writing him off.

    As things currently stand, I think some of you guys are going to be disappointed with how the Sox play this. The offseason still has a long way to go. There are still a bunch of a FA available, which makes guys like Frazier / Melky / Lawrie more difficult to move. Perhaps once the FA pool continues to dwindle, we'll see a market develop for those guys, and they're ultimately moved.

     

    But if Frazier, Melky, Lawrie, Abreu and Quintana are on the team in April, I fully expect the Sox to try to compete. Stop gap OF, DH and C signed. Still plenty of options for the first two. Lawrie plays everyday at 2B until he gets hurt or Moncada pushes him to bench. Saladino (if healthy) is the super sub. The young arms come up in June.

     

    Sox to reassess in late June, and move the impending FAs at that point if they're out of the race.

     

    Honestly, at this point, that is what I expect.

     

    This is my fear as well.

  6. I would imagine that Lawrie would bring something back in a trade, even if mere org fodder. If Lawrie were non-tendered, the FO must know that Saladino will be fine by spring training. Or is ok handing the reigns to Sanchez.

     

    What I want to know is where is the Avisail Garcia non-tender?!

    The more I read Nightengale's story, the more I think Ventura is NOT coming back. Focus on the two key phrases: he can "return if he wants" and "the White Sox refuse to blame Ventura for the losing records". I mean, what better way for Mr. Loyalty Program Owner to set the stage for a graceful exit of one his prized pups than this. Allowing Ventura to leave on his own terms without the shame of being fired, AND publicy declaring the team doesn't hold him accountable for the past five years of futility. Robin will sail off quietly into the sunset, and then that will be that.

     

    I really really hope this is true, but I have no faith left in this org. seriously.
