They'll win 60/lose 60 and RIcky will probably lose another 20. Winning the Central will be hard but I'm more interested in how the individuals will do. I think that will depend on a few players having breakout seasons. Maybe it's me bit it seems the FA market was quite diluted among teams this year.

He'll have a much better supporting cast as long as RR doesn't make the worst hitter in the lineup bat 4th.

There's always a chance for the sophomore slump.

Not really. I guess he was surprised at the all of a sudden Yolmer love that Sox fans think are worth $6M.

My brother was photographing a birthday and met Yolmer Sanchez. During the discussion Yolmer broke it to him he was no longer a White Sox. Yolmer is hangin' around the Phoenix area.

Back when the Cubs played day baseball they put a camera in the vines to steal signals during a DH and got smoked both games.

I liked after the post game Let's Talk Baseball With Jimmy Piersal.

How they handle Collin to me is a mystery. Something tells me the organization has no confidence in his skills as a catcher. The asking price for McCann should be way high. Oddly this organization which was weak at catcher is now the strongest.

I still think the team would be better off without RR. The worst hitter in the lineup batted 4th. I could see him batting Madrigal 4th who is not even close to being a power guy. He's not a manager to take them further. If I had to choose between him and Ventura I would ask for death to be another option. Of course the Cubs always going with name didn't always work either. Baker couldn't take them to the next level and Pinella didn't realize he joined a circus. Still I think Ricky will take them to the usual land of underachievement.

Cubs ditched Ricky - Sox keepin him so far. Cubs have always taking who runs the club far more seriously even though that worked for them once. We have the only manager in baseball that batter the worst hitter 4th.

Still weak at manager. This is why they win 85 at most.

I don't this talent can overcome the incompetent managerial staff.

This was the biggest shocker to me and they didn't waste time. It was so un WHite Sox.

Anyone have confidence that Coop can fix anybody?

I don't want to trust all of this talent to the current coaching staff. I think the Sox will contend in 2020 but how one defines contend is a different story.

Only if you are Hamels.

I'm not upset they didn't spend all of that money on a guy who only pitched in the NL. Maybe the Sox want Cole anyway.

There's also Shark and Peavy. It's a Sox thing and no stats on paper is going to change that.

Should have gotten rid of Charlotte's manager.

Not a bad run for the Cubs though. Games aren't played on paper.

It's a cultural thing in Latin countries and so is bullfighting. I doubt this happened in the states. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cockfight

But you always wanted to be one of those students. Unfortunately I did not have hot teachers when I was in high school.

Should this thread be closed now?

While it could be a defensive improvement, we know Anderson can hit AL pitching, not so sure how long it would take for the other guy. The Sox have a poor history of veteran NL talent working out for them. Shark is just another example.

He needs to adjust to AL pitching.
