Quin Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 Because we're all taking a lot of emotional pain, I decided to add to it. Who wins in a seven game series, the current White Sox or the following 26-man roster made of active ex-Sox (and prospects):. The rules: Assume perfect health for both sides If Engel, Mendick or Cueto re-signed, they'd be added back. Pick whoever you want from the org to fill in the holes on the Sox roster: Mark Payton in RF, go for it! Burger at second? Sure! C : Omar Narvaez 1B: Jose Abreu 2B: Marcus Semien SS: Fernando Tatis Jr. 3B: Eduardo Escobar LF: AJ Pollock CF: Trayce Thompson RF: Luis Gonzalez DH: Avi Garcia Bench: James McCann, Josh Harrison, Adam Engel, Danny Mendick SP: Carlos Rodon, Frankie Montas, Jose Quintana, Chris Bassitt, Chris Sale RP: Vince Velasquez, Johnny Cueto, Dane Dunning, Konnor Pilkington, Ryan Tepara, David Robertson, Craig Kimbrel, Alex Colome 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought about Heuer, but he was not doing hot in 2021 before his injury. Also before anyone brings up Madrigal - thought about him. Nah.

wegner Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 Well that ex Sox OF sucks.....and their 1B may win an MVP but he'll suck in the playoffs. I'll take the Sox in 6...I'm counting on Kimbrel to blow at least 2 games. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxAce Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 Depends.. If Chris Sale is actually healthy again, then I don't think it's close. That ex sox OF might be terrible with the bat but they can throw some leather. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Allen Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 looking at both rosters, its pretty evident KW, RH and JR have no idea what a good OF looks like. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, if you combine the two rosters, you get one good player. Robert. Two if you count the fact that the Padres are moving Tatis to OF this year.

Depressingly, finding a backup first baseman was pretty much impossible, because they're all playing OF for the current team. The rest of them suck too much or are out of the league.

ChiSox59 Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 (edited) The ex-Sox bullpen and OF are rough. Those teams play 10 times, I am going with 5-5. .500 is the White Sox way, afterall. Of course, the Sox also don't even have an OF atm. Edited December 16, 2022 by ChiSox59 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buehrle>Wood Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 As loaded as the ex-sox infield is, I think I'd go current Sox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
