    White Sox Hot Stove thread

    All the money in the world to spend and then some and they can't even get free agents to compliment the rebuild team. It's absolutely infuriating.

    Is there room for a FA like Nick Castellanos on the team?

    Just think, you didn't even add in Tucker and Toro that are right on the doorstep as well.

    The Rebuild Projection : Updated as we go

    While our top prospect and possible best prospect in 25 years has his foot in the door, I'm most definitely not. They want to keep him as a replacement outfielder until one of the younger better guys comes up then fine. Until then he's a late innings replacement player.

    Is there room for a FA like Nick Castellanos on the team?

    The thing is no one is out of their range. They have more money than any other team to spend. The problem is they either won't spend it, or they won't overpay for a player to come here, which they'd need to do. I seriously hope they let Puig be. He's most definitely not what the team needs.

    There's a reason it's only 209 at bats and it's because he's not good. He was sent down because he was hitting sub .220. He's not a consistent 3 WAR player throughout a full season. You're assuming he'd be that player consistently and he's proven time and time again he's not that player. He's...

    I don't know, I have a huge feeling Robert will end up the best prospect since Frank Thomas. He's going to need to be up in the top of the lineup with the others. They've had him leadoff in the minors so I suppose he could do that. Personally I think he'd be best at 2 behind Madrigal. We'll see...

    I think Walker and Rutherford might be another year out with Vaughn. In the meantime Collins, Abreu, and Eloy can fill in as your DH most games. Eloy has gotten tremendously better in LF and he'll continue to work on it in the offseason. I'm ok with keeping him there for now. Personally I think...

    Is there room for a FA like Nick Castellanos on the team?

    Castellanos would be a perfect fit. Problem is, as we saw again in the last offseason, the White Sox will not spend money on top free agents. With Madrigal, Collins (DH), Robert, and Castellanos added to the lineup every day, that would be very very scary for other teams to deal with. Add in a...

    The Rebuild Projection : Updated as we go

    That's not like a 3 win player at all. His WAR this year alone is .8 and he's played in half the games. He strikes out way too much for a guy with 6 homers. Let's be honest, how many other teams is he even making the roster on? The only reason he's jumped above .240 this year is because he's...

    2020 Rotation

    Honestly we really only would need Keuchel. Personally I don't think they'd have a snowball's chance in hell at getting Cole, but they really need a lefty in the rotation. That allows Cease to either be your 4th or 5th. I can deal with Lopez as our fifth starter and I'd be pretty happy with that...

    No, .240-.250 is not acceptable with a prime time star slated for CF next year. He needs to be much much better than that especially when that puts his OPS still under .700. As I said at the end of last year and the beginning of this year, Engel is a late inning replacement outfielder because he...

    The Rebuild Projection : Updated as we go

    Scary thing is he's actually gotten better as the year has gone on and he's still really bad in left. As much as Engel isn't an everyday center fielder, they couldn't continue to keep letting guys play horribly in the outfield alongside Eloy so they had to bring him back up. A good portion of...

    The Rebuild Projection : Updated as we go

    I wouldn't go as far as to say it's a complete disaster (and trust me, I'm no Rick Hahn fan), but it's definitely going much slower than anticipated. Injuries to key players in the minors definitely didn't help at all either. Not getting a big time free agent last offseason also slowed down the...

    Is Alonso's heart with the White Sox?

    Yep it's always about the money. Money talks, and the Dads spoke very loudly.

    Manny Machado signs with Padres

    The front office of this team is a joke. If they enjoyed seeing 20K fans each game they better get ready for 10K. Unacceptable to lose out on both Machado and Harper. Money talks and they blew it. You don't let future hall of fame players at age 26 slip through your fingers when you have more...

    should the Sox move Mocanda to third base?

    If he was 27 and having these issues I'd be more concerned. He's still pretty young and I think the Sox have done a disservice to him making him lead off. Since he lead off a lot he took way too many close pitches. Once Madrigal comes up and is the true leadoff we'll see a completely different...

    *2018-2019 Offseason Discussion Thread*

    I'm not believing anything till I see it happen. No team is all in and no team is fully out at this point. But this makes me hopeful. :whitesox:

    AL Central: Lindor to miss 7-9 weeks

    Meh, that means he'll be back basically by the start of the season.

    What Are You Playing Right Now? (Gaming Thread)

    I think it depends on the game as well. I'm at least decent when I play BF1 or SW Battlefront 2. However, I'm about average when playing BFV, and they're all very similar with nearly identical controls.

    WWE/AEW & General Wrestling Thread

    I went to Backlash many moons ago when Shane O' Mac jumped from 30+ feet onto the big show. I still can't believe anyone would do that. Angle also came out insulting people in Chicago for being fat with their large pop and nachos. I kid you not this fat kid in front of me had a large pop and...
