A fair and balanced soliloquy about Jose Abreu, by ron
Another thread where Ron trashes Abreu. Shocking.

Spring Training Thread
This is by far the least excited I have seen the fanbase in the several years I have been on Twitter. Sad but not surprising.

Have we hit bottom?
You know it's bad when the Browns are more relevant than the Sox.

Brad Keller? Wow, things turned south quickly in Kansas City.

3/11 @ Brewers?
I bet Nova doesn't even make it to July with the Sox. He's going to be worse than Giolito.

Ivan Nova is a bum

Jace Fry has pitched like shit all spring.

Personal opinions on Sox rebuild pieces.
Anderson is having a fantastic spring. Not that it means anything given that they're just exhibition games, but it's nice to see regardless. Hoping this is the year where he takes a big leap.

Who is your top 2019-20 free agent target
Exactly. To be fair, Martinez is a lot better than Dunn was when the Sox signed him, but he's going to be 32 at this time next year. Not exactly a spring chicken.

Who is your top 2019-20 free agent target
JD Martinez is a stud, but I could totally see him being one of those guys on the wrong side of 30 whose performance falls off a cliff once they sign with the White Sox. It would be so predictable.

Who is your top 2019-20 free agent target
My targets, in order: 1. Chris Sale or Gerrit Cole 2. Xander Bogaerts 3. J.D. Martinez 4. Nick Castellanos 5. Yasmani Grandal But after seeing this offseason unfold, I'd be shocked if they got any of them.

Trade Proposal
It's not going to happen, but I wouldn't mind this. Get a prospect or two along with Zimmerman, trade Abreu for another prospect, then bring Abreu back next offseason. They're going to stink this year anyway, so they might as well really stink and at least get a couple more prospects out of it.

Personal opinions on Sox rebuild pieces.
You have no hope for Reynaldo Lopez, a guy who put up a 3.91 ERA and 3.1 WAR as a 24 year old and isn't even close to hitting his peak. Alrighty then.

Harper to Phillies 13yr/330 mil
Harper would have paid for himself and then some in no time. Jerry Reinsdorf is too much of an idiot to realize that though.

Harper to Phillies 13yr/330 mil
Must be nice to have an owner that actually wants to win.

I think Robert will follow the same path as Eloy. End this season in AAA and then get called up in mid April 2020.- 2019 fan engagement poll
Yeah Busch Stadium is nice. I've already gone there but I'd go again. I've been to pretty much every stadium in the Midwest, I try to go to a stadium a year with my dad.- 3/1 vs Rangers, 2pm
I've never been more uninterested in Spring Training games than I am right now. Normally I'm so excited. Not this year.- Guess the Opening Day 25 Man
100% agreed. Yolmer is fine for what he is but he should be a utility guy from here on out.- Guess the Opening Day 25 Man
God that team is terrible. Might even be worse than last year if it's even possible.- 2019 fan engagement poll
I have decided that I am going to go to a few games (3-4 at the most), only because I love the Sox. That being said, I am going to give Reinsdorf as little of my money as possible. I plan on buying the cheapest tickets in the house, going on Sunday's to get the $10 parking, and spending very little on food inside the stadium. He doesn't deserve my money or anyone else's for that matter, but it is what it is.- KW: "It's a shame" the Sox are being portrayed as cheap
Funny how a couple weeks ago it was said that Reinsdorf didn't think any player was worth 30 million a year and here we are knowing that Harper's AAV in this deal was only 25 million...but Jerry still didn't make a legit effort for him. The guy is a clown that needs to sell the team.- KW: "It's a shame" the Sox are being portrayed as cheap
Lmao what a joke. - 3/1 vs Rangers, 2pm
