WestEddy Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago LaMond Pope got the memo, too. In today's Trib: Chicago White Sox: Offseason additions — and areas to address Kelenic leads off an "off season additions" piece. Nothing interesting, just recapping the off-season for people who don't follow the off-season. Quote “I’m looking forward to going out there and proving the player that I can be,” Kelenic said. “I’m looking forward to playing with another group of guys. I’ve been traded a couple of times. One of the cool things is you get to meet a whole different group of players and build so many more friendships. That’s definitely an exciting thing for me. “I’m looking forward to getting to know the guys, getting to know the organization and doing everything I can to help the team win.” Build new friendships, to replace the old friendships...hmmm I wonder why he needs new friends? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteSox2023 Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago I think this excerpt from Merkin’s article tells a lot. I don’t think he’s your average NRI.The left-handed hitter already has worked a few times with White Sox director of hitting Ryan Fuller, focusing on changes and adjustments Kelenic previously had in mind.

It seems like Getz may have targeted him, if Fuller perhaps saw something he could fix and recommended him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A number of them aren’t the most conformist in the world, and certainly not Boy Scouts. Talent is what makes everything ok. If Kelenic was good, he’d just be considered quirky. AJ comes to mind.

I think Kelenic's immature, maybe on the spectrum, a bit, for the way he just doesn't know the perfect amount of athlete-speak. He's certainly not Milton Bradley. Kelenic entering his 4th organization may be a wake up call for him, if it hasn't been explicitly laid out in that way for him, to pull his s%*# together and have a career. AJ rubbed guys the wrong way. In an interview way back, AJ once piped up about Aaron Rowand, mentioning that he likes to get drunk and aggressive when out on the town, and that's just not something anybody needs to be talking about in the media. The clip that got played here of Kelenic talking about how his teammate's child passed, that's just a thing where if you don't know how to address that with the utmost of respect, don't mention it. I believe he doesn't have that filter. That, and he's a hot head who hurts himself throwing a tantrum, or he sulks.
