Another year of losing its lust. I really enjoyed when they put more effort on going through the team in depth. Just alot of interviews of players and coaches mixed with highlights of today's spring training games. They weren't very high on sox this year. Coming up 3 to the bottom of the division.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Mar 6, 2016 -> 07:32 PM) Not to mention Lawrie has been in the AL his whole career while LaRoche was declining and moving to a different league Yes but Lawrie hasn't been full healthy every year except for last year for a career high in games and has never lived up to his potential. The good thing Lawrie has going for him is hopefully being off of the turf now full time and being younger he continues to get better.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Mar 6, 2016 -> 07:10 PM) My point is that basing something on one person is pointless, which you just confirmed. Yes but Laroche has had more power in his career. He's hit 30 before. Lawrie hasn't hit 20 before. He's hit 16 which is the highest in his career and played the most games last year. Can Lawrie hit 20+? Possibly but it's not a guarantee. Can Laroche hit 30+? Possibly but again not a guarantee. Plain and simple need need them to produce. I still think the Sox are short a more run producing bat.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Mar 6, 2016 -> 07:08 PM) And Abreu blew away almost every projection his first year there. Well can all agree Abreu is a much better hitter. What's your point.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Mar 6, 2016 -> 06:41 PM) Don't forget a 10 year age difference. Comparing Lawrie to LaRoche is beyond ridiculous. How is comparing these guy's ridiculous. Lawrie is coming in here having career highs on certain stats and when Laroche came over was a bit more consistent producer in his certain stats. The issue is Sox need Laroche to desperately bounce back and Lawrie to continue to be healthy and putting up numbers. Plain in simple sox upgraded this year but still need guys to produce consistently. Really honestly sox are going to need to score at least 700 runs since every team that made the playoffs last year scored at least that amout.

QUOTE (staxx @ Mar 6, 2016 -> 06:29 PM) 16 in Oakland last year, with the move to the Cell, i'd say the chances are pretty good he hits >20 People thought Laroche would be a 30 homeruns producer at the Cell and that didn't happen.

To me the best idea of the lineup is putting Eaton and Jackson at the top of the lineup and leaving Melky and Lawrie farther down in the lineup to be more runs producers

QUOTE (dmbjeff @ Mar 6, 2016 -> 06:25 PM) Lawrie will put up 20+HR, they are swapping power at 2B for a Corner more or less. Thats a hoping he puts up 20+ homers not a guarantee

Based on streamers projections if Sox run melky, Jackson and eaton for most of your everyday outfield is only putting up 32 homeruns combined. Better be hope Frazier can adjust to the AL and Laroche bounces back cause the sox need those big bats to produce.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Mar 6, 2016 -> 05:50 PM) Seeing Rollins over Saladino still makes me roll my eyes... I mean, I know that's what will probably happen, but I think Saladino will have a much better year Saladino defense yes but I'm not sure offensively on him

The #WhiteSox, who had been patiently waiting for Austin Jackson's pricetag to drop, will announce 1-year, $5M deal when he passes physical. https://twitter.com/BNightengale/status/706628201150189568 And cut someone from roster

So who gets cut from roster to make room for Jackson. Will have to make another roster move for opening day to put Rollins on too.

Hey @whitesox fans, 2day is your day on 30/30 "Good guys" from Glendale,Az. 7pm est all things WSox on @MLBNetwork. https://t.co/4azp52aWjl https://twitter.com/Plesac19/status/706490007649779712

Good positive is avi's hits came on pulled balls and flyout was cf. If he can use the whole field should make him alot better

Frazier on White Sox clubhouse: "If the atmosphere is like this, this is where I want to play for the rest of my life." https://twitter.com/CST_soxvan/status/706187507415670786 Been seeing more and more stuff on the what seems to be better atmosphere in the club house this spring. We can all agree last year didn't seem as lively but alot more stuff coming out better now hopefully. One of the things I've read was that Hahn wasn't only adding better pieces but more energy and attitude to the club. Hopefully the new addition of Frazier, Lawrie, Avila, navarro, Latos and Rollins really help the team. Get the guys jell together and pull for each makes the team better.

Garcia pulls a ball past third base for a run-scoring double. Shuck makes it in from first for a 1-0 White Sox lead https://twitter.com/scottmerkin/status/706210586820874240

Honestly I lost all credibility for levine. Dude can't get facts straight about baseball and yet that's the field he works in. He tweeted out when the Orioles were supposed to sign Fowler that the cubs were getting the Orioles 28 pick for compensation. Had another tweet that the cubs are getting back a second round pick for compensation for fowler signing with orioles. Kinda take things he says with a grain of salt. I'm sure the sox are still looking for an outfielder and probably a lh bat. I doubt cargo is getting moved. Seems tho the Sox are looking at whoever for the outfield can also play cf.
