QUOTE (hi8is @ Mar 7, 2016 -> 07:18 PM) Yea, hard to complain about a 90 win year. Pitching was bad which is what held us back and what I'm complaining about. Winning 90 games was definitely impressive.

QUOTE (hi8is @ Mar 7, 2016 -> 07:14 PM) Didn't we win like 94 that year? I think it was 91 and a third place finish. Edit: checked. it is indeed 90 as posted above me.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Mar 7, 2016 -> 06:50 PM) Remember 2006? Power was fun. Yep. Stupid pitching (that year).

Current lineups I have are: vs RHP Eaton LF/RF (depends on what they decide to do with him position wise) Cabrera RF/LF Abreu 1B Frazier 3B LaRoche DH Lawrie 2B Avila mostly C Jackson CF Rollins/Saladino (whoever wins) SS vs LHP Eaton LF/RF Cabrera DH/RF/LF (maybe Rollins even if he has a strong spring) Abreu 1B Frazier 3B Lawrie 2B Navarro C Garcia RF/LF/DH Jackson CF Rollins/Saladino SS If they decide to go with Sands to let Avi work on his new stance/mechanics in the minors, that's perfectly fine with me too.

QUOTE (knightni @ Mar 7, 2016 -> 12:54 PM) Remember this? Lol yeah that's pretty bad.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Mar 4, 2016 -> 01:21 PM) This is way worse than what Eaton said... I hate how everyone just laughs at Kawasaki like..."oh hey, look at that Asian FOB doing Asian things, SO FUNNY!". The Japanese headbands just makes it even worse. Kawasaki's gotta realize that they're laughing at him...not with him, right? I can't wait for the stupid ass bleacher bums to show up in racist Japanese gear again. Turns out Kawasaki is the one who supplied the headbands for him teammates.

QUOTE (VAfan @ Mar 7, 2016 -> 09:41 AM) Shuck is going to get AB against righties, with Jackson sitting down. Jackson's splits are not so good against RH, and Shuck didn't hit lefties well last year. It won't be a platoon, but that's who Shuck will replace, with Eaton moving to CF for those games. I expect Shuck to get into a bunch of games we're winning late for Melky and Avi.

QUOTE (credezcrew24 @ Mar 6, 2016 -> 05:34 PM) He's 24. He should be getting regular at bats, and as much time in the outfield as possible. The problem is that's not going to happen in the majors. If the White Sox want to see him develop to his full potential he needs to be in AAA. Especially since he is working on his mechanics.

QUOTE (fathom @ Mar 6, 2016 -> 05:28 PM) I really don't think there's a chance Avi goes to the minors I don't think so either but you can make a case for why he should or could.

QUOTE (WhiteSoxLifer @ Mar 6, 2016 -> 05:24 PM) 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. Olt is a no doubter.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Mar 6, 2016 -> 05:20 PM) I would be perfectly fine with Garcia starting the year in AAA and Sands serving as LaRoche's platoon partner. Me too. And if LaRoche tanks again or gets hurt, you can call up a guy in Garcia who's been getting regular every day reps.

QUOTE (ChiSox59 @ Mar 6, 2016 -> 05:19 PM) Do wonder if this creates LaRoche / Avi platoon, or if Avi still gets plenty of starts in the OF and Melky to DH more often. Well it could do both. LaRoche DH against righties. Melky DH with Avi in the outfield against lefties.

Theoretically they could potentially send Garcia to AAA since he is working on a new stance/mechanics or I guess trade him.

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Mar 6, 2016 -> 05:06 PM) Does this move take Shuck out of the 4th outfielder position? If Avi is on the team as well, I just can't see the Sox carrying 5 outfielders at the same time. Why not? They kept 3 1B one year. Shuck can serve as a late inning defensive replacement for Cabrera/Garcia.

As I've been saying for the past few weeks, looks like it was more about playing time than about money.

I bet Latos and Danks will get the final 2 spots but Turner will be stashed in the pen as a long reliever/emergency starter until a spot opens. They won't dfa him with the risk of losing him if he continues to impress.

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Mar 5, 2016 -> 12:50 PM) Thompson? Crawford?

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Mar 4, 2016 -> 05:57 PM) Dan Hayes was on CSN, and while he didn't commit to agree with Levine, he did say he knew as a "fact" the Sox have been after CarGo all offseason but the price has been sky high. Wasn't it posted here a while ago that the Rockies wanted Q but the Sox said no or something along those lines? I don't doubt that they've had interest in the offseason but that doesn't exactly mean they are trying now.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Mar 4, 2016 -> 05:18 PM) Very misleading thread title... got me excited over nothing Yep. Title should have "may" in it. Or not even exist at all.

Levine has been pushing this for months. Plus there's nothing concrete about: "White Sox may now be focused." It's not like he's coming out saying they are definitely in.

QUOTE (fathom @ Mar 4, 2016 -> 03:05 PM) Levine has been stuck on CarGo to the Sox for 3 months now....not buying it for a second. Exactly. And I kinda feel like the Rockies would rather hold onto him for a few months rather than sell lower on him now.

Doubt it means the Rockies move someone. He fits nicely as a bench bat with their left handed bats.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Mar 4, 2016 -> 11:04 AM) Adam Eaton gets called out for his comments, but this s*** is OK at Cubs camp? Seriously? https://twitter.com/MDGonzales/status/705799798452912128 It's only really offensive if someone is actually offended though. I didn't really feel like scrolling through comments but did anyone say anything?

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Mar 3, 2016 -> 05:02 PM) Austin Jackson makes more sense here than the Indians, but still believe the race will be so tight nobody will need to make desperation spring training trades or provide overpays on fa's. Upton and JD give them plenty of offense. They'll just have to use Gose more often. I thought the plan was a Gose/Maybin platoon? I doubt Jackson signs to be a platoon player.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Mar 3, 2016 -> 02:12 PM) Kind of weird seeing someone else wear #21 but refreshing Same with 15...
