QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Mar 28, 2016 -> 08:03 PM) It's really great seeing Davidson hitting like he is. Just hope and pray he found something that propels him to stardom. That would be huge for the Sox . Would make Frazier trade bait for some nice assets . We all know what Ishikawa is at this point in his career . I don't exactly know who to want to make the team, If Davidson makes it , how often does he play ? He has to go down and prove all this mashing isn't just a mirage. But I surely don't want Ishikawa on the team . There's just not a lot of upside with him. Carlos Sanchez has been an extra base machine this spring. Again gives me hope that at some point he can be a pretty good little hitter and make Lawrie expendable. Davidson and Sanchez become long term ( cheap )pieces while the 2 year guys , Frazier and Lawrie can be turned into either major or minor league pieces. Ha so much hope in spring. It's embarrassing I still think this way . But it's why baseball is my favorite sport . I agree. I'd like to see Davidson up DHing and see how he does since we know what Ishikawa is. Davidson has some confidence back and I'd like to keep it that way.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Mar 28, 2016 -> 07:47 PM) Yeah, it's tough man. I was on the 'El with my fingers in my ears at a couple points, lol. Going all Jimmy Fallon in fever pitch when he's at dinner? Lol

Meh I like these Oakland games even though typically we suck there.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Mar 28, 2016 -> 07:10 PM) That's a ridiculous rationale. Well he's having a good spring. Why not bring him up to DH? He said when he first came here and didn't make the team it messed him up. He seems to have confidence right now. I hope it doesn't destroy it. That's my rationale.

They have to bring up Davidson with the team to start the season. He said he's gona be crushed if he doesn't make it.

Woof. That's what this organization gets for not spending enough money.

The took a buy low chance on Turner. Didn't work and it happens.

QUOTE (Black_Jack29 @ Mar 24, 2016 -> 07:37 PM) It's hard to believe that it won't be Rollins. Especially after the spring he's been having. I'm also (realistically) optimistic about this crew. I'm cautiously optimistic but optimistic nonetheless. I think it'll be Rollins with Saladino as utility. We have good infield depth.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Mar 24, 2016 -> 07:37 PM) I agree. Rodon's stuff is just as good as Sale's. Doesn't mean he's going to turn into a workhorse Chris Sale but he has a chance. Agree whole heartedly.

I didn't like the things he said about losing all confidence when he came here and didn't make the major league team. He doesn't sound very mentally tough for this game. We'll see how he reacts to AAA again.

So I haven't watched any games, but it seems like we're playing better defensively. Who is gona be the starting shortstop? I'm cautiously optimistic for this season only because nothing has gone right for this team lately. We're due for some good fortune. I'd love one more bat before the season but I could see it not happening until May.

Rodon has the Sale ceiling IMO.

I have no problem sending him to AAA for a little bit to start. See how this rotation does with Danks and Latos. He'll be up this season it's just a matter of when.

Retirement official! One dead weight out of the way.

QUOTE (Black_Jack29 @ Mar 18, 2016 -> 01:13 PM) I'm getting the feeling that Sale doesn't want to play for the Sox anymore, and it probably goes well beyond this incident. He may be regretting the team-friendly contract that he signed. Well that's on Chris then. Shouldn't have signed it. Also R.I.P. white sox

Maybe Kenny is going full Castanza and wanting to get fired lol

Get rid of KW. Get it over with.

If this team was so mentally weak last season, how will this not destroy them?

Players are all coming out and talking s***. Way to take charge Robin. You f***ing clown.

Whelp this season will be f***ed. This organization is a cluster f*** and it starts at the top. What a clown show this is. It's all come to a head now.

Something so stupid and minor right before the season. This is going to be an interesting start to the season now.

Yay another dumbass overreacting thread. Eaton overpaid? *facepalms*

This situation just seems so bizarre because of the timing. Few weeks before the season and now we have this stupid distraction. Better not give this team an excuse to win 76 games and suck. I really hope this isn't pissing Sale off and leading to a disaster.

QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Mar 14, 2016 -> 02:38 PM) Kershaw had an ERA over 9 in spring training in 2014. Exactly. Spring training for pitchers is to work on things and get ready for the season.
