pcq Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 Instead of -gasp- signing or trading for a quality LH bat we get our fourth season of Gavin Sheets?? Not hard to fathom their lowly status. Only the A's and Angels are worse in the AL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HOFHurt35 Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 It's early, I know. But man, looking at this potential roster leaves me asking myself, will we break 100 HRs as a team this year? I understand the focus in "catching the ball", and in fact it's a great mask to use when trying to be cheap about constructing a roster. But baseball is about hitting HRs, and lots of them. It's hard to win without them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the least ownership deserves. The fact that anyone cares is a miracle.

chitownsportsfan Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 (edited) 2 hours ago, ScootsMcGoots said: Last season, I checked out after May. This season I may very well check out after April. How depressing. What will happen is they will go like 8-12 to start, and then something will happen like they will win 3 of 4 to get a decent April under their belt. Then they will go like 5-20 in May and when the nicer weather in early summer comes around consistently you'll see 15k at the park and a team losing 2 out of 3 games, even at home, around 8-2. It's *just* the White Sox, but I think if that happens it might actually get a little ugly nationwide for JR. Especially if Sox fans get get a viral dig on or two on social media or TV or wherever. That's all we really have as fans until Colson comes up, just hoping to embarrass the owner. Edited March 3 by chitownsportsfan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Cease trade is obviously a big part of it but without that you can still see a lot of young players on this roster in August and September. Montgomery, Quero, Ramos, Nastrini, Eder, Cannon, Leasure, Bush. etc. They have lots of guys in the upper minors who are more than capable of making the jump to the big leagues.

Quero should almost certainly be no where near the big leagues this year, and several of those guys (Ramos, Montgomery, Cannon, Bush) it would certainly be Rick Hahn type decision making to pencil them in as coming up to the big leagues in August when they haven’t played more than 1/2 a year at AA and few of them were successful there early. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
