This dickish comments made in response to your quickly sharing relevant information are perfect examples of why many chose not to post. Thanks for sharing good info. on a cold winter day.

Might the low payroll be seen as a positive for a prospective new owner? Let's hope.

I've had a similar thought...particularly as we get closer to ST. What about bringing the top 5-6 FA's in together and make a proposal to be the 2025 face of the White Sox...at least competitive and a contender if we get lightning in a bottle? Today that's Santander, Alonso, Bregman and a couple pitchers. Of course it won't happen, but it's fun to think about on a snowy January. Thanks for starting this thread.

Welcome, Jeff. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Replies like, "And if Jeff Bolker states it in a thread named after himself, it has to be true." illustrate why so many lurkers don't bother to post very often. Good luck to you if you want to fight the good fight. If not, though, this is still the place that often has White Sox news first.

I simply don't find the negative banter and back-and-forth personal attacks here all that interesting. I check in because, in fairness, this site posts White Sox news/information more quickly than anywhere else.

I've been here a long time but seldom bother to post because of the constant know-it-all negativity...even in good times.

Don't sell this group short. Even when the team was good, Soxtalk sucked.

Chris Getz through this season.

I'd like to see Pedro gone and Getz assume managerial duties for the remainder of the season so he can see who these guys are and establish some kind of clubhouse culture that ought to trickle down to all levels of the organization. Getz takes a beating on this board. But he's ours. I hope he takes the bull by the horns, puts his stamp on the organization and is ultimately successful.

B/c Getz is the one who decides the other 15 percent and hires the new manager.

Hearing a report of the Bob Nightengale's comment that Pedro will manage out the season b/c he's paid for, and why pay someone else... I have a serious thought. If I'm the chairman, I'm telling Getz to fire Grifol and take over managing the club for the rest of this year (at no extra pay) in order to do a full evaluation of environment, talent, coaches, etc. Or perhaps Getz suggests it to J.R. Of course it's unorthodox. But desperate times...

I find this hard to believe. What do you know other teams do for their "kids" that the White Sox organization does not?

Makes it even better. We can use the DH for Nicky Three Strikes.
