A few years back, while I was listening to a White Sox Weekly broadcast, I heard one of the national baseball "experts" (sorry, I do not remember who it was) and he predicted that the closer for the White Sox when they were ready to contend would be Carson Fulmer. That was at a time when Carson was still considered by people as a future starter. I do root for Carson since by all accounts I have seen he was initially upset about being moved to the bullpen but quickly acclimated to doing whatever it takes to succeed in the bullpen. With his stuff, he could be a possible closer down the road...if he can throw strikes!!

In honor of you both, let's call it the Parkman-lane scale of panicness. I am currently at a .25 and in no way canceling a trip that I have planned to San Antonio next week. (I don't really like crowds anyways). My wife is more at a 5, so we will see, but I think that is more because she does not like to fly.

Thank you...I have now voted.

I did not see an option for just start the season as normal allowing fans to come to the game as usual....so I did not vote in this Soxtalk survey. Would that be the Libertarian button that was not included?

That a boy, Carson. That'll do!!!

It depends. Have you taken The Big Hurt's advice and recently been using Nugenix?

Absolutely!! Tim Anderson is the leader of a group of guys who are really easy to root for.

? I get ya

2012 Adam Dunn would work in this lineup.

Seems to me that you should recuse yourself from this argument....you just want to give Mercedes his job ?

??

You're a better man than me...I probably wouldn't be soberly watching them....would have to have a few cold ones if I was lucky enough to be there...enjoy!!!

Barring injury or a trade, it is Colome's job for the season. However, if Herrera bounces back I could see the Sox turning to him if Colome struggles holding leads. I think they keep Bummer in the setup role. Crazy out of the box idea....try Rodon when he's back.

I'm guessing 86 wins this year as this team learns to win. They will go as far as their pitching takes them as I expect them to score runs. I still think they should've spent just a little more in free agency and brought in McHugh to really compete this year....I'm getting greedy. Still love what they did this off-season with free agents and extensions.

Where's the clamoring for that Engel extension?

Make room for that Cross Town cup in your office Rick....you are gonna have it for awhile.

Haha, I was thinking the same thing. What will you give us for a slightly used former AFL MVP?

Engel really has great value as a 26th man.

Hey, it is Spring training for them too...I'm sure he will be a big dick by the time the regular season rolls around!!

Whoever that is playing LF...did not move

I wonder if the extension negotiations had been on Yoan's mind. He sounds like he is locked in now.

Gonzalez has had a nice Spring. That is encouraging as well.

This lineup in general is going to be fun to watch, especially when a middling reliever comes in and has to face 3 of them no matter what, with the new rules.

As Hawk would say, "you can tie him, but you can't beat him"

In the distant future from the broadcast of the 30th annual Field of Dreams game..."pinch hitting for the White Sox....Mike Trout."
