Not right now it doesn't. I would hope our scouts know more than we do who has a better chance at a bounce back season. Of course this is the White Sox we're talking about, so maybe not. If I could do one thing for this organization, I'd steal every scout the Rays have.

I thinks it's pining. It doesn't really matter which name you use. Just a rehab guy who knows how to pitch. A large dose of HGH wouldn't hurt either.

Cole Hamels, Avisail and either Edison Volquez or Alex Wood.

I was there that night. 1 of about 8-9 teenagers who didn't go on the field. Actually it was a little scary at the time.

Blake Rutherford has started to improve. As of today. .343 OBP .486 SP,4 XBH's. .826 OPS

Dear Gerrit, How do I love thee.....

Pass on him altogether. We need pitching more than Betts.

Too early I think. Next September is my guess for White Sox superiority. With 1 full years experience for Cease,Kopech Madrigal,Robert and Collins. Sox could be dominant for 5-10 years. Although we will never be as popular as the Cubs, a world series win will more than make up for it. One more thing. I've always kind of liked being the runt of the litter, so to speak. It makes winning a little sweeter.

I say Ozzie only half in jest. He was an excellent manager at first. But tell him he's got to leave his kids at home.

Ozzie.

Not to be negative, but do the same list with the Astros team.Yikes!! I sure hope they lose Gerritt Cole this winter. Plus, Verlander and Greinke are getting old. With that line up and defense tho, they could probably win 95 games with our pitchers.

Every once in a while you have to tank.

If so, at least he has all winter to work thru it.

Sign Cease,Robert,Madrigal and Vaughn to Eloy like long term contracts. Offer Kopech the same. If one or two flame out, it would still be smart.

I hope you're right. He's a lousy manager, but he seems like a good guy.

I pine for Ozzie.

Pitching,pitching and more pitching.

Moncada missed by 10-15 feet last night, but Jimenez took another out to RF again. I think his last 3 have been opposite field. Where do you pitch Jimenez going forward? Next year he might hit 50.

Again hire Ozzie. Jerry only hires White Sox alum. No kids ,no bunting. Thought Ozzie turned into a diva. 10 Years out of the game should have cured that. It will be his last chance. He's smart enough to know it. A slightly humbled OG is better than 90% of managers. Plus, to JR's delight, he'll work cheap.

And it's not like Jose has a mantle full of gold gloves.

I hope they get great play from Yoan,Eloy,Leury,Gio and Abreu. I hope Ricky and the other stiffs on the roster do what they always do. Hopefully we hold onto a top 10 pick next year. Top 10's are still exempt from compensation .

Sign him up.

I'll bet he gets at least 16 million a year. The years length is the question. If he accepted a 3 year deal he might get 18-20 MPY.

Castellanos sure had an incredible amount of doubles for the Tigers. He also led the league in triples once. He'll be 28 next year, and in the right park he could do some real damage. He doesn't walk enough, and his defense is lousy any where you put him. Who knows, maybe he could play a passable 1b. Seems the Sox have enough of those on the 40 man roster already. I once looked at stats for slugging 1B and OF guys and how their bats held up at their age 33 season. HOF guys didn't have a problem. Guys who were close to but not great plummeted. The obvious question is which type of player is Jose Abreu? If he had been born else where and made it to the Majors at 21-22. would his stats stack up? Defense aside, I don't know which guy he will be. If he's a close to but not great, he might crater next year and be out produced by Castellanos.

Excellent chart. actually a model of steady production. Add in last years missed september and the all star break and he'd be in Bernie Madoff territory. I know he's getting older, but better players tend to age better. He might be worth a 2-3 year extension.
