I guess that's funny to you as well. I hope they prove you wrong and compete for the division.

Sorry, Teel is one of my favorite players since I met him at Sox Fest last year. Not laughing but go ahead.

Well great game to promote baseball around the world.

Serious injury to one our best players was not funny, but go ahead and fvking laugh.

not funny

Yea, looked like he pulled a hamstring. Terrible news for our Sox. And for what?

Not always easy for people to do that these days, but the work ethic and tenacity they had was admirable.

Watching on the free Tubi app. Ant looks like a stronger version of Meidroth.

30 semi trucks per day with contaminated soil are taking a circuitous route which appears to be the only way for trucks to access the Fire site and get to an expressway to head to Joliet. Canalport Avenue is definitely a road less traveled, but yes, they can do it. https://maps.app.goo.gl/5CCrDDmYgfCkknvj8 City of Chicago Streets and San can make sure the road stays clear and is not damaged. Maybe some barges floating that material down the Cal Sag would make more sense. What a mess.

I was hoping to see Everson Pereira out there this Spring. On paper he profiles as a player who could be a pretty good CFer. I have not seen Acuna playing Center so I am wondering if he has the instincts and ability to play that difficult position, i.e., quick recognition/ good reads on fly balls, and the ability to make long throws. I hope he does, because as of now, there doesn't seem to be a good option. And no, Baldwin can't be the regular CFer.

All valid points.

Phase I environmental will require appx 30 large trucks per day removing wet, contaminated soil. The contaminated soil will be transported via tarped trucks exiting the site southbound on Wells Street/Wentworth Avenue to 18th Street, then west on 18th Street to Canalport Avenue, then southwest on Canalport Avenue, then entering eastbound I-90/I-94 ... and continuing to southbound I-55 for disposal at a licensed landfill in Joliet, Illinois - a circuitous route for truckers through narrow streets. Reverse that and that is a main route for ingress to the site. Oh yes, the contractor will be required to hire street sweepers for the contaminated mud from truck tires.

Some fans think Braden Montgomery needs to have a few hundred more ABs in AA before he comes up to the majors. Will that be the case with Roch or will he have a shorter runway? I am not sure Colson Montgomery wants to shift to 3B or that he profiles as the prototypical third basemen. Vargas has the cat quick reflexes to play the hot corner. If he has a good offensive year, he may cement 3B has his starting position. Nevertheless, if Roch proves to be an offensive force, the Sox will be compelled to plug him in at some position. Never forget, Andrew Vaughn was supposed to be an offensive juggernaut.

Maybe give Schriffen a fvking break. He is a nice young man who admittedly is learning on the job. OK, he doesn't fit the parameters of what you think you wanted to see as Benetti's successor. So what.

I recall going to see the 1977 White Sox and the excitement that team brought to our fan base. The one thing that drove record attendance was the amount of HRs they hit (192, I believe). Comiskey Park was showing signs of age at that time, inside and out, but that didn't hold back fans from attending...we loved our White Sox and we loved HR. Of course, Sox fans either recall or have read about that magical season, which leads me to proffer the following question. Which players on this years roster are going to hit HRs, and how many?Can this years White Sox energize fans like the '77 hitmen did? Here were the HR totals for players on the '77 White Sox. Oscar Gamble: 31 Richie Zisk: 30 Eric Soderholm: 25 Chet Lemon: 19 Jim Spencer: 18 Lamar Johnson: 18 Jorge Orta: 11 Jim Essian: 10 Ralph Garr: 10 Can the 2026 White Sox line-up achieve similar results?

I imagined that Getz has put a for sale sign on Benintendi so to speak, just looking for a team that will pick up perhaps half of his remaining Contract. Quero has had an amazing ST, but maybe Getz would consider a trade for him, if the right deal was offered....like a TOR starter. Quero is an amazing catcher, but he may have one flaw - he looks like he is slow on the bases... but that is just from my own observation. Maybe he is faster than he looks. Not hoping they trade him but some have mentioned that they do not like having both catchers in the line-up in case of injury or substitution, and the Sox have others who can DH from either side.

Very good, thank you. Maybe Acuna as the lead-off man though with Baldwin hitting in the 9 spot. My own roster has Braden starting in RF because, IMO, he is way better than Baldwin, especially defensively, right now. Also Braden can hit, from both sides. I am so psyched about this season. We have a lot of players that are going to hit. Let's go.

Meidroth will not be replaced by Sosa, but eventually he might be by a player like Antonacci who can play good defense and has some power. Sosa is a back-up infielder and DH who will get a lot of ABs once again because he is a proven hitter with power. Always exciting to see him come to bat because he hits the ball hard.

Last season Meidroth had 12 errors, one of the worst at his position. A notable error occurred on May 6, 2025, when a pop-up hit his head, contributing to a 4-3 loss against the Royals. Meidroth should not be worried about losing the 2B job to Sosa. Sosa is going to get ABs at 1B, 2B and DH because he was one of the best hitters last season, and one of the clutch hitters. Sosa also has a strong arm where Meidroth doesn't. But Meidroth was just not very good last season. That is why Antonacci could come up at some point in 2026, especially if he continues to hit the ball and Meidroth becomes a weak out. And yes, HRs are an important offensive metric, especially the way MLB has evolved. Think how 3 pointers changed college and pro basketball. You have to have them, and a lot of them to win.

After the endless mocking of Getz for referring to Acuna as a switch hitter, that trade might end up being one of the best moves he has made. Some fans thought the Sox should never have re-signed Luis Robert, but Getz got that contract covered plus Acuna, who could end up as an excellent player.

Means nothing. There is a CF in Milwaukee that barely got his feet wet before coming to the majors and pounding the ball.

I hope so, but in 2025 with the Mets he hit for a .234 BA , no HR and .567 OPS in 175 ABs. OK but not that great. There is a lot of fan projection going on with almost every prospect, and he is no different. As Dennis Green said, "go ahead, crown his ass," but I would like to see more of him before I agree with your assessment. Maybe he is the next Rickey Henderson, but I doubt it. There is a lot of hype about this guy so let's see if he can live up to it.

If Everson Pereira is the starting CFer and Acuna, Sosa and/or Ant are options to play 2B, what do the Sox do with Meidroth ? I guess it may take a few months to iron those decisions out. Ant is one player who is really gunning for a roster spot. Max effort.

Everson Pereira. Baldwin had some issues catching fly balls last season in LF and I just wonder if he has proven he can defend a much larger field in Center.

- RF - Braden Montgomery. If he struggles, maybe send him for a brief refresher to AZ, like the Sox did with Colson last year. This player is part of the young core so why wait, let's go now. - CF - I think Everson Peraira arguably has the right combination of defense, speed and power for CF....but who knows for sure since he has been sidelined with the oblique. - LF - Bennintendi by default, dammnit - 3B Miguel Vargas sticks at 3B. I think this could be a break-out year for him. - 2B I am thinking now ...maybe I would prefer Acuna Jr. or Sam Ant. at 2B over Meidroth. Sox need at least some power from 2B. I saw Sam jack that HR 417 ft yesterday and I am thinking why not him ? -1B / DH - Murakami and Sosa. Need both of them in the line-up almost every game.
