I think both guys can rebuild their value and help us win games. Rooting for both. However I was memeing about the “three true outcomes” or whatever it’s called and I think it’s funny that Gallo of all players is on the Sox. How the mighty have fallen in a way. I think it would be a neat storyline if he made the team. DH is up in the air. Give it to a kid, but also give it to gallo. Hell yeah.

Each year his OPS has been higher than Gallo’s, so you’re basing everything on bullshit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 (edited) TEMPE, Ariz. — Colson Montgomery would hardly view his back spasm blip as a refutation of his work, but his offseason was geared at keeping him healthy and keeping him at shortstop. “I was like 240 pounds in the offseason so I felt like I needed to lose it and I like being a little bit lighter,” said Montgomery, who lost around 10-15 pounds. “It was to be more athletic and to be what I am, because I want to be a shortstop, and I felt I had to lose some weight to be a shortstop.” https://soxmachine.com/2025/03/white-sox-notes-colson-montgomery-slimmed-down-to-stick-at-shortstop/ Edited March 2 by caulfield12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both threw bullpen sessions at Glendale, generating a lot of excitement. Edited March 2 by caulfield12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand They will move him to third next...although natural replacement for Vaughn or DH as well. Elko and Wolkow eventually there...hopefully George can stay at corner OF.

caulfield12 Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 White Sox: RHP Grant Taylor The White Sox are heavier in the pitching prospects, so the natural choices would be Noah Schultz and Hagen Smith, the top two left-handed pitching prospects in the game, per MLB Pipeline, who threw back-to-back scoreless innings on Feb. 26 at Camelback Ranch. But instead this nod goes to Taylor, who topped out at 101.2 mph during his first appearance in Surprise on Feb. 23. The right-hander is a starter to watch, after being drafted while he was recovering from Tommy John and dealing with a lat issue in ‘24. He has the stuff to be a high-end member of the rotation. -- Scott Merkin mlb.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
