I will go with Melky Cabrera.

I will go with Todd Frazier.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Mar 31, 2016 -> 08:26 AM) So fast before the Lakers came to their senses. This guy is potentially a top 5 player in the league in a couple of years. He is a 19 year old kid who made a mistake. Crucifying him is absolutely ridiculous. Is Russell even that good? I know he is young and has lots of potential, but Butler is an already established star. I would trade anyone on the team besides Jimmy for him.

It is funny how some people wanted the Sox to sign him a year ago, and now they do not want to touch him with a 10 foot pole.

I would rather have Ishikawa than Loney to be honest.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Mar 30, 2016 -> 02:55 PM) I'd trade anyone on the Bulls for Russell. Even Butler?

Why in the world would the Sox take a high school pitcher tenth overall?

raBBit made it sound like the Sox are pursuing James Loney. Interesting.

QUOTE (scs787 @ Mar 29, 2016 -> 11:56 PM) I've never really understood the Hawk hate. I absolutely prefer a guy who is a "Homer" and is cheering along with me. I'Il get yelled at for this, but give me Hawk all day over Vin Scully who everyone loves. Maybe I just don't hear Scully enough, but whenever I do get the chance, it's always so bland and zzzzzzz. Also, Mike, are you the dude on Pride and Passion who always "Feels drunk?" No, that's not me. This is the only White Sox forum/website that I'm on. I'm happy to know that I'm not the only Hawk supporter out there. He's a unique person for sure, but he's very memorable and good at what he does most of the time as well.

I'm going with the man, the myth, the legend, Jose Abreu!!!

Sale looked like he was in midseason form.

I like Dunts format, so I will copy his style. The ideal roster for me right now would be: Lineup: Eaton RF Rollins SS Abreu 1B Frazier 3B Melky LF Lawrie 2B Navarro C Garcia DH Jackson CF Bench: Saladino Avila Shuck Ishikawa Rotation: Sale SP Quintana SP Rodon SP Latos SP Danks SP Bullpen: Robertson CL Jones SU Duke SU Putnam RP Albers RP Jennings RP Carroll RP

On the TV broadcast yesterday, Stone mentioned something along the lines that the starting pitchers would only go a few innings each for their last Spring Training appearance before the regular season starts. With that being said, how many innings do you think Sale will go today? 3? 4?

If they plan on taking another pitcher, I hope to god that it is not Turner.

That is all. But seriously, I really do like Hawk. His schtick can get excessive at times, but I’ve grown to appreciate him even more after hearing Benetti the past few weeks. I will be very sad when he retires. and yes, I know this thread isn’t necessary but I’m bored as hell at school so bare with me.

I hope that Gasol doesn’t come back. He’s a solid player, but the Bulls need to get younger and build for the future.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Mar 28, 2016 -> 05:04 PM) 37, but we all know Collins will be #38. Eddie Collins is getting reincarnated to play for the Sox?

Imagine Sale, Latos, Lawrie, and Swisher all in the same locker room. Eek.

Yeah, Danks still sucks.

You just realized this now?

I wonder what the pitching matchups are going to be in the Oakland series. If I had to guess, I'd say: Sale vs. Gray Quintana vs. Hill Rodon vs. Hahn Latos vs. Graveman No one on their side is that intimidating other than Gray, so I wouldn't be surprised if the Sox win 3/4 or even sweep. I'm hopeful.

QUOTE (fathom @ Mar 27, 2016 -> 03:56 PM) Carroll starting games in April would be a huge fail by the org Why? If he's better than Danks/EJ/Latos/Turner at any point in April, he should start.

If Latos struggles, I could see Carroll making the team as the spot starter/mop up guy.

Will Robin Ventura be the manager of the White Sox on September 1st? Yes How many wins will the Sox have when they return from Detroit on June 5th? 58 games scheduled through that date (33 on the road). 33 More games started - Navarro or Avila? Navarro Carson Fulmer debut date and role? July 12th, as a starter Tim Anderson debut date? August 28th White Sox All-Stars? Sale, Rodon, Abreu, and Frazier Mat Latos starts? 25 Number of team home runs (136 last year) 165 Runs Scored/Runs Against (622/701 last year) 718/689 Dealers choice--any other random 2016 Sox predictions other than final record Sale wins AL Cy Young, Rodon throws a no-hitter, Sox acquire CarGo at deadline, Danks wins 13 games with an ERA under 4, and Lawrie hits 25 homers.

I just turned on the game, but it seems like Rodon is going through that "dead arm" period.
