The #WhiteSox's best find of the winter was the hiring of @jasonbenetti, who will broadcast ESPN's national Wednesday Night Baseball Game.

Zach Putnam and #WhiteSox weighing options. Surgery is one possibility, according to GM Rick Hahn.

 

This is not good. I expect to see Zach Burdi soon. Brian Clark and Matt Cooper being fast-tracked as well apparently.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Jun 24, 2016 -> 04:18 PM)
RV: Abreu is not in today's starting lineup due to leg soreness from being hit, but is available if needed.

 

Ugggh.... don't like this timing.

 

He is finally hot.. he needs to batting.

 

DH him.

Spoke to Mark Buehrle. He's here at the White Sox game. He says he hasn't filled out his retirement papers.

Buehrle said he'd think about coming back to pitch in the White Sox or Blue Jays bullpens. Seriously? Buehrle: "I might be. I might not be."

Potential HR/FB Rate Surgers

 

Player Distance HR/FB

Jose Abreu 315.08 13.6%

Seth Smith 313.97 12.5%

Stephen Piscotty 308.97 10.5%

Gerardo Parra 306.44 10.4%

Kendrys Morales 306.07 11.9%

 

The above list looks rather similar to the last one I published a month and a half ago!

 

There’s Jose Abreu at the top again. When I published the first article, his HR/FB rate stood at a mere 12.2%. Since then, it has increased to 15%, which isn’t significant; however, that stretch includes 16 straight games without a homer from mid-May into the beginning of June. This month, his HR/FB rate is a more normal 19.2%. Tiny sample size, of course, but I’ve been advising everyone to buy Abreu for a while now and the window is quickly closing to get any sort of discount.

Current White Sox players are hitting .235/.292/.259 against Minnesota Twins ace Tommy Milone.

 

Holy s***.

Aaron Rowand back on the South Side. Working as minor-league OF/base running instructor for #WhiteSox

Wasn't he already doing something within the org, or am I crazy?

Again, from a naked eye standpoint, the defense and defensive positioning is so much better this year. It is nice to see numbers that back that up.

As for possible additions from outside org, Hahn said 'we are having conversations daily looking to improve in 2016 and beyond''

:lolhitting

 

I'm impressed at how little there is in that statement. It's actually applause worthy nothingness. Totally serious, well done Rick. :)
