An Exclusive Look Inside The White Sox Clubhouse Right Now


Wow, this whole Adam LaRoche situation has gone to a new level, as the White Sox have rallied around their new common enemy.

Kenny Williams.

    Hey, if your head (as a player) is more worried about LaRoche's son being able to sit on the bench during spring training/season, then do us a favor.....Tell Kenny now so you can be dealt. I don't want distractions for this team, or people who are worried about Non-Baseball-Championship things. Being a Daddy at Work, which is what LaRoche is attempting, isn't gonna happen...especially while he is a subpar player being paid megabucks. IF there are Sox players who feel this cause is bigger than a winning season, then speak up. Your AAA Charlotte ticket is waiting. Adam LaRoche's selfish interests are never to be placed above the Team's greater needs...and he is a fool for injecting his child into public scrutiny over it. James

    Kenny Williams poorly mishandled this situation. Not only did he not address it in the off season, but he circumvented his manager and his General Manager to do it. In doing so, he may have laid a huge turd in the 2016 punch bowl. I don't disagree with Kenny, but in the way he chose to address it. My only other question is how much is Uncle Jerry involved in this and why couldn't he, the great negotiator, talk LaRoche off the ledge?

Write Sox Offseason Plan: Rebuilding Edition

Image
A couple of weeks ago I wrote my version of South Side Sox's Offseason Plan Project , and in that plan I went with what I believe the White Sox are going to try to do this winter: not rebuild. While I still remain skeptical of a total overhaul coming our way this winter, I also realize that it does remain a possibility. I also notice that some members of the local media, and many others of the national media not only think it's very possible, but that it's the correct move to make. And it might be, in the long run, but I'm just not excited about the idea. In my opinion, the idea of a rebuild is a helluva lot more fun than the actual rebuild itself. It's exciting to think of an infusion of young prospects with limitless possibilities, but the reality of the situation typically involves a lot of players that don't pan out, and a shit ton of bad baseball to watch over a six month stretch. Still, just because I'm not into the idea of tearing it all down

The Worst White Sox Players Of My Lifetime: Position Players Edition

Image
While the entire White Sox fan base sits around waiting for something to happen with Yoenis Cespedes , I figured I'd help us all kill time by continuing what I started last week. If you don't remember, I ranked the greatest White Sox players of my lifetime (by bWAR) in two separate posts; one for position players and one for pitchers. Well, for every yin there must be a yang, and for every Frank Thomas there must be an Adam Dunn . So today I'm continuing the Superlative Series by ranking the worst White Sox players of my lifetime (1981-present), and much like I did with the greatest, players, we'll start with position players. Prepare yourselves for a painful trip down memory lane. We begin with four players who are all tied for seventh place.

The White Sox Could Find Their Designated Hitter In The Big Apple

Image
When the White Sox designated John Danks for assignment on Tuesday, they made quite a statement. There's no doubt that the Sox have been trying to build a contender for the last few years, but this season things are actually paying off. So when the team showed its longest-tenured player the door because he just wasn't performing well enough, it was the first real sign we've seen since the season started to indicate the White Sox fully intend to "go for it." And while removing Danks from the rotation and replacing him with a carousel of other starters could possibly improve the situation -- I'm honestly not convinced it will, but that's another post for another time -- this is still an imperfect team, win-loss record be damned. The White Sox offense has picked up the pace in recent weeks, but even with a stronger offense, there are still only five regulars with a wRC+ of 100 or higher (100 is league average). While the Sox aren't likely to lo
