What was part of the staple that held together a 2005 championship run for the Chicago White Sox is now the biggest question mark heading into a season where they are being picked by many to at least repeat as Central Division champions if not challenge for another World Title...MORE

another fabulous article

the pen needs to get better indeed, but i think will be fine

Thanks. Very good article, Boz.

This "aboz" guy is a hack.

Excellent write up there Alex.

 

It's a real boom or bust situation with our pen, and last season showed how important having a good one is. Unfortunately, other teams are starting to take notice of that, hence us missing out on the likes of Myers over the off-season.

Agreed. Alex is a very fine writer. Regarding Myers, let's hope that the one that got away doesn't come back to bite us in the ass.

Great article.

good article boz. the pen is a concern for everyone. WWKD? What will kenny do is the big question. Lets face it, Hermy is pretty much toast (i hate to say) and if its really true about Jenks losing 10 MPH off his velocity, than we are in BIG trouble. Losing Hermy is one thing, and can possibly be replaced. But losing the 'real' Bobby Jenks would be too much of a blow to overcome. You just can't replace that.

Good article Alex.

There goes the rumor that chat crew members can't read or write.

 

Nice job Alex.

Thanks for the feedback everyone.

 

Now that I have some free time, I'll be doing a weekly column for the site (I may even do two a week) tenatively called "Boz Knows" as well as appearing every now and then on the weekly podcast. Who knows I may even get a podcast of my own eventually or team with someone else from the site. Looking forward to getting some interviews and articles with some of the guys from Charlotte this summer as well. It should be fun.

I'm definitely a lot more worried about the pen now then I was when I wrote my article. All this news on Jenks isn't exactly helping matters.
