Sox In The Basement

Scot Gregor Wants The White Sox Back

Scot Gregor of the Daily Herald should be packing for Spring Training. Instead, he is talking with us about the CBA, if Rick Hahn's plans for the White Sox have changed since November, and what needs to happen before baseball returns. Meanwhile the owners are asking for mediation, but that doesn't mean these sides are too terrible apart on the big issues. We try to close the gap and bring reason to a maddening lockout.

White Sox Fantasy Vs Reality

As a brutal MLB Lockout continues to drain baseball fans, we look at some common arguments between White Sox fans. Let's separate fantasy from reality. Then we look at long-term fantasy baseball projections to find Sox players expected to take big steps in 2022 and beyond. We also try to fill out a lineup card with current rostered players and find ourselves leaving a harsh reality behind just to fix unresolved issues created by the front office.
