September 1, 20169 yr Chicago White Sox Verified account @whitesox Prior to tonight’s game, the #WhiteSox recalled RHP Juan Minaya and C Kevan Smith from Class AAA Charlotte.
September 1, 20169 yr I have to fight the urge in each new thread to not respond "god this is depressing" in every one. Its just all so disappointing with very minimal positive signs I am....just done.
September 1, 20169 yr QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Sep 1, 2016 -> 03:08 PM) September call ups are kind of a fun thing. Why so much gloom and doom? way back in the olden days it was your first chance ever to see some guys you had maybe heard about. These two are just roster fodder. I don't know why they need another pitcher anyway. They never let Ynoa pitch as is.

Had there not been a black hole at SS to start the season, Tim Anderson would be all the news/rage today. But as we all know, he is putting up ROY numbers for the better part of 3 months now. Aside from Anderson and Fulmer, no... there isn't a lot to be excited about on the "fun to watch" guys coming up from the minors.
September 1, 20169 yr Kevan Smith should be interesting. Guy who has a chance to stick around the big leagues as a backup.

Its just all so disappointing with very minimal positive signs I am....just done. Yea even Tim Anderson in the lineup on a Carlos start doesn't really get me to tune in. Just a boring, bad team yet again. Cancelled my MLB.tv months ago. Renewed it briefly when TA came up then cancelled again. Didn't bother going to a game here in Seattle when they came this year. First time for that. Had been four years in a row since I moved here.
September 1, 20169 yr I dunno guys. Nobody complains about the FO more than me, but I've seen much MUCH worse teams on the field than this. This team is actually entertaining sometimes.

This team is actually entertaining sometimes. Well that's the rub. They have some decent, even star players. They also have a lot of really s***ty players. The "stars and scrubs" approach can work but not when your scrubs are quite this bad.
September 2, 20169 yr QUOTE (RegionSox @ Sep 1, 2016 -> 02:58 PM) I'm glad Kevan Smith is getting another chance. Me too. What happened to him in Toronto was unbelievable.
September 3, 20169 yr When Smith and Minaya played Thursday, they were the 25th and 26th players to play their first game with the White Sox this year. 26 new players matches 1995, the year the strike ended and they were patchwork all season. Zack Burdi...we need you to break a record. BTW...on average, the Sox add 16-17 new players each year. The last five years, they're above 20, which makes sense considering how many bullpen pitchers straddle AAA and the majors nowadays. Edited September 3, 20169 yr by flavum

September 3, 20169 yr I couldn't stand the Adam Dunn, Alex Rios, DeAza, declining AJ and Pauly years. But that's just me.

But this group seems more competent and fun. On this date last year Sox were 8 games under .500 so at 6 right now they are having a better season.................... Unfortunately they then went into KC and won 3 of 4 so we need to keep winning this weekend.

The Sox haven't had a true "everyday" Catcher since AJ. QUOTE (flavum @ Sep 3, 2016 -> 09:37 AM) 26 new players matches 1995, the year the strike ended and they were patchwork all season. There were 25 total pitchers on the roster that year (I'm not counting Dave Martinez). Look at some of these names! 1995 Sox Roster
