White Sox - Future

A Off-Topic forum to discuss things that aren't related to the Amusement Park Industry.
Postby CoasterRiderSC on December 22nd, 2016, 3:01 pm
Now that Chris Sale and Adam Eaton have been traded, our White Sox suddenly have a top 10 farm system!
I'm super excited about the future of this team! I admit 2017 will probably be a rough year but I believe in 2-3 years we'll be competitive again.

What are your thoughts on trades of Sale and Eaton, the future with Rick Renteria, moves made by GM Hahn and other players that will likley be moved??

Been a very quiet and slow time period after the first 2 blockbuster deals. At least Jose Abreu will be back! Hopefully he can get Moncada acclimated....

Hopefully the prospects pan out. I think they will contend in a few years. If only they can get more prospects for Jose. As for the field, terrible move going for guaranteed rate field. I'm already calling it Gay Rate field for short.

I've resorted to calling it Comiskey Park or Sox Park now. At least with US Cellular Field, "The Cell" sounded cool.

White Sox future looks even brighter now with Jimenez and the other prospects picked up for Quintana!

I saw on MLB site that Sox have 4 of top 40 prospects in all of baseball and 6 of top 100! And that doesn't include Moncada and Giolito who have already been called up.

Give them 2-3 more years and they'll be a good team!!

Go White Sox!!! Year 2 of rebuilding process. We should expect to see more prospects getting called up this year.

This season isn't meeting my low-ish expectations. Before the season, I thought hitting would be fine but pitching would suffer. Seems to be both! Lost 1-0 yesterday. Its painful. I wasn't expecting them to break .500, but damn, we are less than .250 right now!

I Know, it's tough to watch/follow. But it's a complete rebuild. And there are some bright spots. Look at Lopez's numbers. Low ERA, AVG against. Nate Jones is a great bullpen guy. Moncada is doing decent.
Abreu is having a solid year so far. Hopefully Avisail can have another year like last year.
We haven't even seen Kopech or Jimenez yet!

These prospects will all hopefully be good.
Then the team is going to be VERY good for several years (i.e. Houston Astros and Cleveland Indians)

Just be patient :)

On the bright side, with a rebuild comes great prices. I see soo many cubs fans at GRate with friend groups because its easier to get 5 seats for $35 total than whatever it costs at Wrigley :lol: I have probably been to six games this season and last. The six before that probably took me 4 or 5 years.

Very funny!

As most Cubs fans won't remember or admit, Cubs were abysmal after they traded all their talent away!

And Rick Hahn followed the blueprint of the "Great Theo" and did the same thing! Even picked up the manager whom Cubs dumped.

Maddon is 1-1 in the WS! I'd rather have Terry Francona. The Cubs won game 7 despite Maddon's attempts to give the game away.

How about Lucas Giolito this season (so far)!!! 9-1 with a miniscule 2.28 ERA and a .92 WHIP!! And we stole this guy for Adam Eaton!


And Tim Anderson, Yoan Moncada and Eloy Jimenez are off to great starts, along with Jose Abreu.

Wait till Michael Kopech rejoins team in late 2019 or 2020!!

Sox sign Abreu for 3 more years, YESSS!! And they picked up Grandal (C) . What a great move! He is supposed to be really good at working with the pitchers. I can't wait for 2020 season!!

They have been making power moves this off season! Love to see big moves whether it pans or not. Better than the past few off seasons.

Sox drafted a hard throwing LHP!

11. White Sox: Garrett Crochet, LHP, Tennessee
Crochet’s stuff took a big jump in the fall, when he hit 100 mph with his fastball, showed an improved slider and flashed a well-above-average changeup as well. Mild shoulder soreness led Tennessee to hold him out of the season’s first three weeks as a precaution, but he showed the same stuff in his lone outing of the spring before the season was cut short due to the coronavirus pandemic. If he had a full season to perform, he doesn’t last 11 picks in this Draft. More >

https://www.mlb.com/news/white-sox-2020-draft

Dude is 6" 6, 218 lbs. He has a "wipeout slider and electric fastball". He's being compared to Chris Sale!

"You could be looking at the pitcher with the best overall stuff in this draft class."

I watched it live and the analysts were drawing lots of parallels to Chris Sale. He could start in the bullpen, he is considered a little more risky for the spot taken, lefty with blistering fastball and an A+ slider... Obviously a new "Chris Sale" would be the dream, but I am cautiously optimistic and really trying to keep my hopes down.

Sox are doing well so far! All the young players are producing and starting to 'gel'. 21-13 (as of 8/31) and Kopech and Rodon are not even playing. Sox have a very bright future!

It is a very exciting time to be a fan! Unfortunately, I do not get any games in on my tv where I am at unless it is national broadcast :(

White Sox make Tony La Russa the next manager! I didn't think Renteria was "bad" but La Russa has a proven track record and 3 W.S. titles! But he's 76 so hopefully he can still do the job and the game hasn't "passed him by".
