bruni Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 Time to guess the number to be found on the soon to be top selling White Sox jersey for the next 6 years. If Abreu does not stick with 79, I am guessing either 25, 29 (bump Mitchell off of it - he will never use it in the bigs) or 44 - a good power hitter number. Any other guesses????

bruni Posted October 28, 2013 Author Share Posted October 28, 2013 Here is what is currently available: 1, 25, 31, 37-41, 44, 48, 51, 52, 57, 59, 67, 69-71, 73-98. Numbers 6, 13, 14 (if Paulie retires) and 56 are not in use but not going to be issued. Any other number would require a member of the 40 man roster to make a switch, not impossible or even improbable depending on the player and his 'hold' on the number/roster spot.

cabiness42 Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 (edited) 6 is held ransom by Jerry in memory of old hitting coach Charlie Lau. Beckham wanted 6 but they would not give it up so he went with 15 (1+5). Did you not notice I made it green? In all seriousness though, what if a free agent of Abreu's caliber said he'd only sign if he got #6. What then?
