Jose Abreu

2006 was on the pitchers for sure. Buehrle had a 5 ERA, Vazquez was horrible... they were all pretty bad. Then, on the other hand, you get 16 HR/.295 BA from Pierzynski, .313/35/113 from Konerko, .281/18/67 from Iguchi, 21/71 from Uribe, .283/30/94 from Crede, 40 SB's from Podsednik, .315/44/120 from Dye, .288/42/109 from Thome, .285 in 304 PA from Cintron, .290 in 290 PA for Mackowiak, .328 in 203 PA for Ozuna, .327 in 167 PA for Gload... such a stacked team offensively, but horrible pitching. Reminds me of the 2015 Blue Jays, to some extent.

This winter weather today is HORRIBLE. 60 degrees and sunny in early March? Unacceptable.

QUOTE (fathom @ Mar 7, 2016 -> 08:03 AM) It's really incredible how Hahn was able to make all these moves and not give up the draft picks. The Jackson move caps off a fascinating, yet productive offseason. Kudos to Hahn. I would've been annoyed had we given up assets in yet another trade- the free agent market was where we needed to strike and that's where he struck. Can't blame him if this team flops.

QUOTE (Thad Bosley @ Mar 6, 2016 -> 10:14 PM) Could Austin Jackson start for any other team in our division? Kansas City (would have to be RF though), Detroit (over Maybin/Gose), Cleveland (while Brantley is out)... basically any team but Minnesota. edit- lots of posters beat me to it- I'd say no to Minnesota because Rosario is probably better

QUOTE (daggins @ Mar 6, 2016 -> 08:46 PM) Also one of Shuck / Fields / May, so 4. My bad, misinterpreted

QUOTE (daggins @ Mar 6, 2016 -> 07:45 PM) I would agree with this. More bench pieces could be added, but right now i'd go with 3B/SS/2B - Saladino LF/RF/1B - Sands / Avi (prefer Sands) CF/LF/RF - Shuck / Fields / May C - Avila Well, by my count, that's a 6-man bench (counting just one of Sands/Avi), and that would leave us with a 5 man 'pen...

QUOTE (WhiteSoxLifer @ Mar 6, 2016 -> 06:21 PM) Based on streamers projections if Sox run melky, Jackson and eaton for most of your everyday outfield is only putting up 32 homeruns combined. Better be hope Frazier can adjust to the AL and Laroche bounces back cause the sox need those big bats to produce. 32 seems conservative. They combined for 35 last year, and Melky/Jackson could easily hit more than they hit last year. I'd guess 41. 14 (again) from Eaton, 15 from Melky, 12 from Jackson

Seeing Rollins over Saladino still makes me roll my eyes... I mean, I know that's what will probably happen, but I think Saladino will have a much better year

/thread

I feel like Eaton would be better suited in LF than RF, but Melky would be a nightmare in... well, either

Eaton Cabrera Abreu Frazier LaRoche Lawrie Jackson Catchers Saladino/Rollins Or does Jackson bat 2nd?

wow, great news.

The White Sox will trade for Christian Yelich

Every time Butler left the floor, Houston went on a huge run. People do not realize how much his absence affected us.

QUOTE (scs787 @ Mar 5, 2016 -> 08:55 PM) First game I've watched in quite some time. That was a fun 1St half. A lot of solid ball movement. Has it just been injuries that are holding the Bulls down?....Or is the Rockets D that bad? both, probably

QUOTE (raBBit @ Mar 5, 2016 -> 02:08 PM) CarGo stuff is bull. Sox interest in Bruce isn't that high. They are working on something though. Harper?

6-4 Sox

QUOTE (whtsoxfan @ Mar 4, 2016 -> 10:18 PM) WGN news Dan Roan is reporting that the Sox are close to a deal that will send Carlos Gonzalez to the Sox Really? I don't see this anywhere online

QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Mar 4, 2016 -> 06:41 PM) Levine uses inexplicably bad grammar to hide the fact that all his articles are personal speculations disguised as reported rumors. He's actually a master of the written word, but he chooses to use his gift for evil. Yup. I mean, the White Sox may be interested in considering trading for OF Mike Trout. Boom, that's a headline.

Very misleading thread title... got me excited over nothing

Interesting, Turner's first 4 outs came on 4 pitches. Take notes, Sale.

And we play the NL East this year... great news!

So he gained 10 pounds. Wonder how/if that will affect his pitching

QUOTE (Condor13 @ Mar 4, 2016 -> 11:10 AM) So will this game definitely be a webcast on whitesox.com? yes

QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Mar 3, 2016 -> 11:09 PM) I think Draymond Green complains more to the refs than any player I've ever seen. Possibly even more than Dwyane Wade. More than Taj Gibson?
