Ricketts racist emails
I doubt that would happen even if he was only 95. Reinsdorf isn't that way and his family probably isn't either. Racism seems to run in families although not always.

Anybody else already miss Hawk?
Never cared for Hawk. I always felt they should have dumped him and kept Wimpy.

Joc Pederson: ???
Is it worth giving up anything for JP if we don't sign Harper or Machado? Next year we'll be either bad or just so-so with out them. Adding JP probably wouldn't change that. When 2020 roles around the outfield might start to get crowded as well.

Sox steamer projections for pitching
The 1 thing that will make the Sox good in 2020 is bringing up 7-8 talented relievers in 2019 and let them take their lumps. We probably have more quality relief prospects than any team in baseball. With Dunning, Kopech, Cease and others joining the rotation in 2020, pitching could soon be a strength.

Top 5 Favorite White Sox of All-Time
dick allen,wilbur wood,oscar gamble,richie zisk and mark buerhle. in some ways wilbur wood was more than a baseball favorite. the knuckle ball almost seemed to make life more fair for guys who weren't born with much athleticism.

Alex Call vs. Steele Walker
Compare these 2 players since turning pro. I hope I am missing something with Walker, because Alex Call dominated Kannapolis at the same age that Walker couldn't hit .190 there. Call is considered to be better in the field than Walker is as well. Call has shown that he belongs in AA, and going forward he has a real chance to reach the majors. I don't know Calls best outcome, but his floor appears to be a productive 4th outfielder. I'll admit I don't know much about Walker. Was he fighting a minor injury after playing all year in college? Is that the reason for his unimpressive debut? If anyone has info for Walker please let me know. All I've seen is his top 30 page on white sox.com . Going by this limited info I would have kept Call and traded Walker to the Indians.

Sox trade for Yonder Alonso; Alex Call to CLE
Yuck, YA at 32 will probably be terrible. I know we had guys ahead of AC but he does have a chance to be a really good 4th outfielder. Dick Allen is right about Machado angle.

Michael Brantley to Astros 2/32M
If he is that cheap, he brings what Sale brought. The difference being Cleveland has better judges of talent.

Rebuild
6 years of this crap is almost more than I can handle. Next year looks terrible and 2020 who really knows. I've been watching for 50 years and the thought of 2 more seasons like this feels like a death sentence. I wonder what i'll feel like when my seasonal affective disorder kicks in.

2019 MLB draft thread
does this guy have extra strong wrists? The real Dick Allen had tremendous power because of strength in hands and wrists, not size 5' 11" 175.

Is it hahn, hostetler, renteria, the coaches, or all of them??
don't sugar coat it. renteria is a stiff. fire him monday morning. i'm not as down on hostetler. coaches should be axed including cooper. start over and tell hahn he's 81-81 next season or sayonara.

Race for the worst 2018 record (Top 5 pick) again
I'd gladly pick sixth if we could knock the Cubs into second place this week end.

Palka (again)
I don't think he is as flawed as you think. In his minor league career he has always walked a lot and hit for a higher average. It wouldn't surprise me to see his OBP go up quite a bit next year. That being said, his home runs might turn back into doubles as well. Either way he's still a good offensive player. I totally agree about his flawed defense though. Maybe he should go play 1st base in the winter league.
