Sox In The Basement

White Sox Gatekeeping Run Amok

After some fans get denied entry with valid tickets, we're asking what the White Sox are doing. You would think this team would want people in the ballpark. Tim Elko is here and you can add him to a list of players that should be featured the rest of the season. Very soon, though, decisions will have to be made as a roster crunch approaches.

How Do The White Sox Evaluate Talent?

Will Miguel Vargas work out? Is the team right to stick with Andrew Vaughn? Can Colson Montgomery be fixed? Is Tim Elko not ready yet? The answers depends on your belief in White Sox talent evaluation. Either they are going to prove us all wrong, or unfortunately very right.

What The Papers Say About The White Sox

Travel back in time to 1992 as we find an old, faded newspaper poll on the White Sox. Over 30 years ago fans wrote in their opinions on the team, players, front office and ownership. Their take in the 90's may give you a solid chuckle as we try to understand perplexing non-action being taken by those running today's team.

Is This What Real Baseball Looks Like?

A vacation away from the White Sox brings stark observations from watching other MLB teams in action. Edgar Quero is so good his manager has even moved Andrew Vaughn out of the 4-spot a couple times. (Is he allowed to do that?) We also ask a question about clubhouse morale that Chris Getz needs to ask if he wants to find any positive momentum in this season.

Meidroth A Lesson For White Sox

Chase Meidroth played well in AAA and was elevated to the majors. So far, so good. One thing he does well is get on base. Another AAA prospect is putting up similar numbers but hasn't gotten the call. We ask what the White Sox are waiting for as several everyday players are hitting in the .100's with no end in sight. Plus, we take a look at the ownership structure of the White Sox and still believe the Ishbias will own the team eventually.

White Sox Still Lack Accountability

With the exception of a couple $15,000,000 per year players, everyone on this team is being paid low enough that you could justify benching, optioning or releasing them. So, why are so many poor performers still in the lineup daily when kids are playing better in AAA? As Chase Meidroth is elevated to the White Sox we ask why Edgar Quero, Kyle Teel and others aren't getting a shot yet. How long will it take?
