June 6, 20178 yr So.. Are we doing this thing or what? 76,000 votes is not insurmountable. Pods, AJ, Konerko, and Chris Sale were all voted in by a groundswell of White Sox fan support..
June 6, 20178 yr With Trout being out, will they take the next top 3 as starters or just pick a replacement for him. If they take the next 3 highest Avi's just 40,000 behind.

June 8, 20178 yr QUOTE (ChrisLikesBaseball @ Jun 8, 2017 -> 09:54 AM) The White Sox haven't had a position player start an All Star game since Frank Thomas in 1996. We were really really good at getting that 25th man spot for a while though. Lost our mojo.
June 8, 20178 yr QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Jun 6, 2017 -> 11:08 PM) Jake Peavy, too (#TakeJake) Peavy didn't win the final vote, but he was added to the all star team as a substitute in 2012.

June 26, 20178 yr Author Scott MerkinVerified account @scottmerkin 42m42 minutes ago Ozzie Guillen had a direct message for Avisail Garcia when they went against each other in winter ball in Venezuela: He told Garcia... ..he should "be embarrassed" hitting 7th in Winter ball and challenged him. Now Garcia is fifth among AL outfielders in the All Star vote Garcia responding to challenges from more than just Guillen in this breakout, All-Star 2017 campaign. Ozzie likes Avi's middle of the field approach at the plate--"A lot of people say he needs to pull the ball, I say why?" More Ozzie on Avi: "When you pull the ball you have more tendency to strike out and have bad at-bats."v Two more Ozzie on Avi: "He's showing his potential. I see a lot of players with potential who never make it ... And: "It started getting too late for him, now he's back on the map.” More to come in a story later today

June 27, 20178 yr QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 27, 2017 -> 08:42 AM) Full Avi article CSN ChicagoVerified account @CSNChicago 1h1 hour ago "You should be embarrassed you're batting seventh in winter league." http://bit.ly/2sbkVHh He's been slumping lately. Looks like he's trying to pull everything. Not barreling up much. Left a ton of guys on base yesterday. Didn't even look good against lefties.Was begging for him to go up the middle but kept hitting weak grounders to the left side. Avi doesn't hit Sox lose thus the recent lousy homestand.
