The Mighty Mite

This season is basically over, just shut down the constantly fragile Eloy, Moncada and Robert. Let them heal 100% and hopefully be ready for next year. All 3 and TA should forget about weights, baseball is a game of agility not emulating Charles Atlas.

I'd like to know who is in the scouting department both at the Major and Minor league levels. Whoever they are, they are really bad and need to be replaced.

Giolito has done his part in the higher ERA this year.

One thing for sure, I hate night games on get-away day. Wasn't it against the rules at one time, if a city was more than 500 miles away a night game was not allowed on get-away day.

Typical TLR, guy has a nice game and sits the next game, what a demented jerk.

At least the guy can field.

The Sox tease us again, let's see if they can win around 8 in a row and maybe win a series against the Royals next week.

It was a joke.

I knew he made his money in real estate, too bad he didn't stay in Brooklyn.

Never knew that he worked for the IRS, another reason to despise him.

Exactly, they're in a different county for cripes sake. They should change their name to the Orange Crush.

I felt a tingle down my leg when I read the title of the thread.

I think Konerko will eventually make the HOF, if Ron Santo is in then Konerko should be in.

It's probably too early in their careers to classify our current guys plus unfair because of all the injuries sustained by them. I thought that Robert had the makings of a great 5 tool player, Eloy and Moncada probably very good but I have more faith in Eloy than Moncada, Yoan has become a head case. I think once Vaughn starts playing first base on a regular basis he could become a very good player especially with the bat, another Big Hurt, no but maybe a Konerko. A

That's amazing and if you're a Sox fan so sad.

Great is a word that gets thrown around a lot when it come to sports. When I think of a great player, I think of HOF caliber players. Ruth, Gherig, Williams, Musial, Mantle, Mays, Aaron, Clemente, Robinson, Tony Perez, Rose and our Frank Thomas plus so many more. I loved Johnson, Quentin and Dye, very good players but IMHO not great and certainly not Hall of Famers.

Durham might have been the 3rd best second baseman in Sox history but not close to Joe Morgan, Craig Biggio or Ryne Sandberg. That's the problem, we develop some very good players but not great players and like I posted earlier we don't sign great free agents.

When you think about the franchise since WW 2 which I would call the modern era, it has had some great players, just about all of them what the OP would call the lower end of the top tier or at the top of the second tier. I would include Appling, Fox, Minoso, Aparicio, Fisk, Baines, Ordonez, Ventura, Konerko and Abreu. I might have left out a few but there has only been 1 Superstar and that was Frank Thomas. I omitted Dick Allen as he was with us only 3 years with 1 great year. The point is the 2022 White Sox are a continuation of what we have seen for over 70 years, we just can't seem to develop really great cream of the crop players and certainly don't sign any as free agents. As long as JR is around, nothing will change and we will continue having a mediocre farm system with lousy scouts, lousy managers and coaches but will still manage to win an occasional division title and of course lose in the first round.

Excellent analysis.

I hate this team, I hate the owner, I hate the manager, I need help.

I agree on a PR, I'm blaming McEwing for not realizing Grandal is probably the slowest guy in the league.

How McEwing sent Yaz home is almost criminal, he's the slowest guy on the team and looked like he was running in quicksand. I feel for Yaz as I blew out my ACL in 1977 playing tennis, only time I had more pain was when passing a kidney stone in 2017.

I just checked the radar and don't understand why they aren't playing right now or maybe the field is unplayable.

I'm too old for another rebuild but there needs to be some changes on and off the field.

You're right, it's Premium. Last time they were on Peacock I'm pretty sure I got it for free,
