Crochet Traded to Boston
Meidroth and Sosa are exact opposites.

Rule 5 Draft
Smith's numbers look really promising. Unless he gets hit by a bus, he'll have a chance to make it thru the season in the bigs. Well, our version of the bigs.

Crochet Traded to Boston
I was surprised in the worst way possible when I saw Madrigal running hard to 1st base the first time. Anyone judging his ability should have seen that. Overlooking it should get a scout fired.

Crochet Traded to Boston
only caution sign is they are a bit older. my own feeling is, if you're 23 and haven't reached the bigs, you won't be a star....ever. (mike schmidt exception duly noted). Giving up an elite talent for several good prospects sounds like a chris getz move.

Dick Allen, Tommy John up for HOF Consideration
Abreu might be a HOF member someday. Losing half of his career in Cuba wasn't his fault. voting members sometimes overlook stuff like that.
-
Winter Meetings Catch-all
Hitting the nail on the head. And in 25 words or less.

Juan Soto to Mets. 15 years/765m
If I remember correctly, the Sox made Dick Allen the highest paid player in baseball in 1972. 3 years at 235,000 a year.

Dick Allen HOF
I idolized him as a 10 year old. Also think he had the best season any Sox player ever had

Bill Melton Passes Away
my brothers and I were watching on tv when Bill hit his 30th on Sept 21, 1970. the first White Sox to reach the hallowed milestone. we all wish his family the best during this emotional time.

Manfred: mlb considering “Golden at bat” rule
They could make every AB the Sox get a "golden" next year. We still couldn't win 70 games.

would austin hays play here?
Could he be talked into playing on the south side? A very useful player to a better team. He and Beni could form a platoon.
-
Andrew Benintendi on the trade market (duh)
just let beni & robert stay and play til june. we don't have anyone to replace them any way.

Non-Tender Day
I thought to myself you could sub me for Taylor St. Sox and it would still work. Except it'd have to be 5 beers.

Should Sox pursue Carson Kelly
He's a free agent and a fine defender. He is a league average hitter for a catcher and has never been labeled a jackass. Price range 2-3 million per x 2 years. Quiero won"t be taking over for a year or so. He's better than Corey if 2024 is that's all CL will hit. Seems like a guy who could be a good coach later on.

Austin Slater Signed to MLB Deal
.266 average last year. Slugging average.

Really, who gives a hoot?

Travis d’Arnaud signs with LAA 2Y/12M
3 years younger than Moldy. Actually has a history of hitting his way out of a wet paper bag. Hope it works out for everyone.

Sox looking at building in South Loop
State of Illinois would be better off adding 250 million to any offer made by a new owner for the Sox. Beats the hell out of helping an incompetent arrogant fool build a new park.
-
Ryan Fuller Hired as Director of Hitting
hitting ball in air. good. how does he feel about walks?
-
White Sox claim Penn Murfee
Unusual path to say the least. Good signing compared to most older bullpen guys.
-
Venable named new Sox Manager-per Merkin
Empathy is a wonderful thing. Lacking it let's you know when you're dealing with a douche right up front.

How the Sox went from 12th in fWAR/talent to last
Kopech coming in for the 9th. Trying to lock down game 3. I wonder what M. Vargas is doing right now. Probably working on dance moves for a rap video.

Jerry Reinsdorf open to selling the White Sox per Britt Ghiroli
Saw the headline on MSN. Was totally pumped. Came here and learned the details. The ultimate click bate. Drop dead Jerry.

Managerial “Search”
I bet Grady has already signed a contract. This is all window dressing.
