Clevinger & Andrus Back, Scholtens optioned, Alberto DFA
WBWSF replied to Sleepy Harold's topic in Pale Hose Talk
How are they going to move on from Moncada? -
Clevinger & Andrus Back, Scholtens optioned, Alberto DFA
WBWSF replied to Sleepy Harold's topic in Pale Hose Talk
I can't help but wonder if the White Sox are going to trade Burger. If I was running another team and needed a 3rd baseman I would rather have Burger than Moncada. Moncada isn't going to be traded. He can't hit for power and is making some big money. -

Burger is not starting in tonights game. -

WBWSF replied to Sleepy Harold's topic in Pale Hose Talk
Its not only crazy its out and out terrible. Moncada should be replaced by Burger at third base. Burger is hitting, Moncada is not hitting. The White Sox are stuck with Moncada. No other team will trade for him and pickup his contract. The only way he is traded is if the White Sox eat most of his remaining big contract. -

Alberto has more home runs and RBIs than Moncada. -
Moncada can field and can't hit for power anymore. Anderson can't hit and field anymore. I don't see how these 2 can be traded. I can't believe any other team would want them. The White Sox would get next to nothing for them in a trade. So I'm assuming they won't be traded. Burger should be the every day 3rd baseman now.

I got the impression during the whole game that the White Sox tv announcers (jason and Steve) wanted the Tigers to win the game. Perhaps they should be announcing elsewhere.

The Phillies went to the 2022 World Series. They got hot in the playoffs and wound up in the World Series. I don't know anybody who thought they had the best team in the NL. I would be happy to see the White Sox in the 2023 playoffs.

The first time Veeck owned the team he traded Callison, Battey, Romano, Cash and Mincher after the 1959 season. Those trades cost the White Sox at least 2 pennants in the 1960s. At the end of his second ownership he tried moving the team to Denver. There weren't too many White Sox fans who were upset when he sold the team after the 1980 season.

Former White Sox radio announcer Bob Elson once said the only thing Bill Veeck cared about was money.

Why did the downfall happen and could it have been avoided?
WBWSF replied to Dominikk85's topic in Pale Hose Talk
I don't know if moving to the suburbs would increase their attendance. Last year the White Sox drew over 2 million fans. I've read numerous times that 20% of White Sox fans go the games via public transportation. There 's very little public transportation in the suburbs. -
Garfein: Tim Anderson hates pitch clock, not Chicago
WBWSF replied to superchops70's topic in Pale Hose Talk
If Tim is upset about being here isn't it understandable? He's playing on a team that isn't doing well. AND he has stated a number of times he wants a contract extension and wants to finish his career with the White Sox. The front office has not offered him a contract extension and I'm sure he is not happy about that. -
Do you really think that Ozzie would want this job at this stage? This would be a bad situation for him.
-
I can't believe that Hahn would resign. This is a one time deal for him. No other MLB team would ever sign him as a GM after his lack of success here.
-
One of my main complaints about Hahn is the millions of dollars he has spent on players who didn't produce. The list is endless. Why not sign Giolito who has produced to some degree.
-
I can't understand why they would trade Giolito. He's been out best pitcher. Who do they have to replace him? The only way I would trade him is if Hahn offered to sign him long term and he refused the offer. Other than that I would sign him.

And That's a White Sox 4 out of 5 Winner !
WBWSF replied to CaliSoxFanViaSWside's topic in Pale Hose Talk
It sounded like there were alot of White Sox fans at the game. -
The thing that gets me about the list is the millions of dollars spent on them. I find it unbelievable that Hahn still has his job. Although I do believe if this season continues to be a disaster Hahn will be gone this off season.
-
Another option is just to renew the present lease. I have met people who think that will happen.

GT 4/29: This ends tonight! White Sox vs. Rays - 6:10 CT
WBWSF replied to The Beast's topic in 2023 Season in Review
This win will hopefully turn the season around and help the team into the 2023 Playoffs!!!! -
JR has been a bad owner but he is not stupid. If this team continues to tank somebody has to be held accountable and that person is Hahn. It wouldn't surprise me if Hahn was gone by the All Star break.
-
With the injuries of Anderson, Moncada, Crochet and Hendriks and the complete collapse of the middle of the order (Eloy, Vaughn and Robert Jr), it is somewhat understandable how this has become a disaster. That being said,unless something really changes there is not much light at the end of the tunnel. Also, Ozzie Guillen really wanted to be the manager this season and wasn't given the job. He has to be happy that he didn't get the job now.
-
This has been a dead boring team. I'm beginning to wonder if the manager might be replaced sooner rather than later. I remember when Eddie Stanky was fired early in the 1968 season and Al Lopez was hired. Maybe Ozzie Guillen might be brought in to try and shake things up. Luis Robert Jr has to be the biggest disappointment on this team offensively.

Many years ago George Weiss was the Yankees GM. He created a dynasty with the Yankees in the 1940s-1950s. Nobody liked him but the Yankee owners didn't care. Weiss did his job very well and wound up in the MLB HOF. I knew some people who worked for the White Sox who liked Himes. Fact is JR didn't like him so Himes lost his job. He now has Hahn as his GM simply because he likes him. Hahn has been a terrible GM just as JR has been a terrible owner. They both deserve each other.
-
It was bad enough that JR fired Himes but I will never forget how JR went all over the media badmouthing Himes after he fired him.
