Out of Options list.
QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Mar 15, 2016 -> 11:21 AM) Yes. I doubt many teams would claim him and roster him on their 25 though and pay him $1.5 million. A rebuilding team looking to add depth could. Think we keep him as a long reliever though.

Latos will NOT start Saturday
QUOTE (oldsox @ Mar 14, 2016 -> 06:44 PM) You pro-Latos folks are deluding yourselves. Anymore so than the pro-Johnson/Turner folks?

Eaton blossoming into a leadoff star for White Sox
QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Mar 14, 2016 -> 07:55 AM) Not bad considering Cubbie boy David Haugh called him a 4th OF on a contender. I think David Haugh is a Sox fan, at least that's what I got when the crosstown series was going on last year listening to the morning show they do.

Adam LaRoche injured
QUOTE (reiks12 @ Mar 13, 2016 -> 10:40 PM) With Morneau still looking for a suitor should the White Sox be considering his services in case LaRoche doesn't get healthy? No. I bet the front office would be fine using Jackson, Eaton, Cabrera and Garcia between outfield and DH. And with no days off the first week of the season, I bet they'd break camp with an 8th reliever if someone needed to start the year on the dl making a move for a bench bat when needed.

3/12, White Sox at Cubs, Television stations list
QUOTE (EvilJester99 @ Mar 12, 2016 -> 04:28 PM) What do they do with Avi if he keeps hitting like this?? Good problem to have. Make them earn playing time. If LaRoche isn't hitting a month into the season, he gone.

It's nice to see a catcher use his body to block a pitch in the dirt.

QUOTE (bmags @ Mar 12, 2016 -> 12:38 PM) So this Lawrie in the two hole thing keeps happening Could be to just get him 2-3 at bats more quickly before bringing someone else in. Or to just try it out I guess.

3/11 at Padres
QUOTE (South Sider @ Mar 11, 2016 -> 04:00 PM) I agree. They are setting the tone for the season. I like what I've seen so far in Spring Training, and it looks like this team should be much more competitive than last years team. I had my Debbie Downer moments over the course of the offseason, but the Sox really do have a shot at the AL Central. That's almost all a baseball fan could ask for. Exactly. All you can ask for as a fan is good fun baseball. It is just entertainment at the end of the day.

Official 2016 Soxtalk White Sox win total prediction thread
QUOTE (bmags @ Mar 11, 2016 -> 12:36 PM) My cynical side sees us at 81-81, in it in september before a horrible 2 week slide in the last two weeks. My optimistic side sees us winning a bad division(recordwise) with 88 wins. Man seen this story too many times over the years.

White Sox Sign Austin Jackson
QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Mar 11, 2016 -> 10:13 AM) Apparently it is a different reference. Ooooh lol so sorry haha I feel stupid haha

White Sox Sign Austin Jackson
QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Mar 11, 2016 -> 10:08 AM) Lighten up. Huh? I'm making a reference here. Why am I being told to lighten up?

White Sox Sign Austin Jackson
QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Mar 8, 2016 -> 01:28 PM) I'm sure someone in the twitterverse is thinking that. Random but I figure I'd quote you on this (you'll see why in a sec), but any time I see Jackson referred to as "Ajax" I can't help but think his actual name is "Francis." Haha Anyone awesome will get this reference.

One Thing on Brett Lawrie
QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Mar 11, 2016 -> 08:26 AM) Amen! Brett Lawrie. He definitely has an attitude about him that I really like and think was needed for this team. Plus, he's a thorn in the side of the Royals which makes the Lawrie trade that much sweeter for me. Someone had to replace Samardzija haha

One Thing on Brett Lawrie
QUOTE (Jerksticks @ Mar 11, 2016 -> 08:03 AM) Whole lotta weord bat wiggle & hitch in that HR video. I just hope he doesn't suck worse than Beckham. Yep. It's obnoxious to hit with in MLB the show to the point where I edited the hitch out of his stance lol the game gave him an overaggerated version to the point where you can't see the ball out of the pitchers hand because the bat is blocking the players view.

One Thing on Brett Lawrie
QUOTE (3GamesToLove @ Mar 11, 2016 -> 08:01 AM) One more thing on Brett Lawrie. His surname is pronounced like the name "Laurie," now "Lowry." This confusion alone is enough to make me regret signing him; I hear people getting it wrong more often than not. Hopefully once the game broadcasts start up this'll be rectified? Thank you! I've been saying it correctly but cringe when people pronounce his name "Law-ree" or the other way you gave.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Mar 10, 2016 -> 01:00 PM) I was going to put down 90, but then I remembered to subtract 15, since Robin is still the manager, subtract another 15 because KW is calling the shots, and finally, subtract another 15 because Jerry Reinsdorf owns this team. So 45-117. Haha

Spring training 3/10 SS: Royals vs White Sox, white sox vs Rangers
QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Mar 10, 2016 -> 11:49 AM) Said it would be about 10 days before he got in a game. What's it been 7 0r 8 days ? It's been like 4. But in the paper I read this morning it said he'd play Saturday.

Empirical evidence that the Sox will be good this year
QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Mar 9, 2016 -> 08:19 PM) Yeah I found it, thanks. Nice that they got the CF board, however they weren't able to update the LF/RF boards Hey I'll take it. Like I said, teams with renovations in the off-season usually don't make it into the game until the following season after the first season of renovations.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Mar 9, 2016 -> 07:48 PM) which video? I can't remember exactly which. It was video focusing on fielding and at one part had an angle where you could see the CF video of the cell. If you go to operationsports.com you may be able to find it. I'll look tomorrow.
