Shane Smith, Davis Martin, Burke, Vasil, Vargas, Quero, Meidroth, Baldwin and Elko are here. Schultz, Hagen Smith, Braden Montgomery and Teel should be here sometime in 2026. Things are starting to look up. There's an old saying, The White Sox Are Coming, Tra La, Tra La!!!!

It would be a tremendous boost to have Devers on the team. He can hit, something this team needs and it also would be a good PR move.
-
Devers is unhappy in Boston. He doesn't want to play either 1st base or DH. He wants to play at 3rd Base where he always played. I would think his days are numbered in Boston. I realize that Getz isn't going to trade for him but some team will acquire him.

If JR wasn't content with this losing he would have improved the team this off season. They lost 121 games last year and he did nothing to improve the team. He could have easily signed 2 hitters and one bullpen pitcher and this would have been a better team. I have no doubt that they will trade Robert Jr and Benedenti for next to nothing. The trades will simply be salary dumps. Last but not least I heard Bruce Levine on the radio this morning and he said that Elko has not been brought up because the organization thinks he's a one tool player. Last I looked Elko has home runs and a high BA. How many tools does Vaughn have? I also wouldn't be surprised if Elko was traded sometime this year to another team who will let him play.

You've mentioned in the past that you didn't think a new stadium in the South Loop wouldn't be that good of a thing. Just curious, if they do get a new stadium, where do you think it should be built?

The White Sox were labeled Winning Ugly in 1983. These past 3 years the team has been Losing Ugly. There has been nothing lovable about this team the last 3 seasons.
-
It just seems to me that this ownership is content with this losing and low payroll. That's how this comes off to me.I don't think i'm wrong.
-
This is really an odd situation. The team has had trouble scoring runs and yet they won't bring up their best hitter (Elko) from the minors. I'm beginning to wonder if he'll be brought up before September.
-
I'm hoping that Elko gets called up sometime this year. I would like to think he deserves a chance.

I was at the games over the weekend and at the team stores and Grandstand. They were crowded with fans looking at the new City Connect apparel. From what I saw people were 't buying alot of the new stuff. The new jerseys are nice but it looks too much like a Bulls jersey. I also think the previous City Connect jerseys are better looking than the new ones. I would think that most fans would rather have old ones instead of the new ones. I'm guessing that the new numerous City Connect hats will be more popular than the new jerseys. I don't know if they release the merchandise sale results but I don't think the new City Connect items will be as popular as the old ones.

I always thought that Sportsvision flopped was because the Chicagoland area wasn't wired for cable.
-
I can't help but wonder if Tim Anderson is next to be demoted.
-
Maybe the Rangers will want Vaughn.
-
It looks like Vaughn is going to stay here and Elko will not be called up. If I was Elko I would ask to be released or traded. What else does Elko have to do in the minors to deserve a shot in the big leagues?
-
With Meidroth and Quero in the lineup and Vargas and Robert Jr starting to hit, things should start getting better. But still, I can't help but wonder how long this is going to go on with Vaughn, I can't see him being put down to the minors.They're not going to pay him his $5 million dollars to hit in the minors. If he continues to tank I would like to think he would be traded to some other team for not much of anything. The White Sox would probably have to pay most of his contract.
-
Keeping Elko in the Minors and having Vaughn starting every day tells me this organization is content with losing.
-
I would like to know what Elko is thinking. He has to be down in the dumps thinking what does he have to do to be promoted.
-
I hope they don't remove the parking lots at the Rate. Its one of the reasons I go there. The parking lots are great.
-
The team has had trouble scoring runs the last 2 seasons and yet they won't bring up their hottest minor league hitter. Seems rather odd. Perhaps ownership just doesn't like Elko.
-
Hats are great!!!!
-
Elko deserves a shot. It looks like its not going to happen anytime soon.
-
I've believed that ownership has been content with this losing team and LOW PAYROLL. Still, how can they be content with this situation of Vaughn? I would imagine that Elko can't be too thrilled still being in the Minors.
-
Meidroth, Quero, Baldwin, Shane Smith, Davis Martin And Cannon are on the team now. Elko should be up this year. Teel, Braden Montgomery, Noah Schultz, Hagen Smith and Grant Taylor will probably be on the team next year. It looks to me that the team will start to be alot better next year.

I'm under the impression Vaughn is one of the highest paid members on the team. I can't imagine him being DFA. Something has to be done. Elko desrves a chance. Hope its sooner rather than later. -
Luis Robert trade thread: La Pantera stays.
WBWSF replied to ChiSoxFanMike's topic in Pale Hose Talk
Robert Jr has never been the same hitter after he got hurt last season. It looks to me like the injury he suffered last year has turned him into a much worse hitter.
