Just yesterday, Kirkwood referenced the Ligue incident. Why is there a double standard that Cubs fans can reference White Sox events from 2001 and 2002, but Sox fans are "living in the past" when they reference a WORLD SERIES title from 2005?

Because no one cares about the White Sux.

I think if the Sox can put a really good offense on the field the sky is the limit for this team. I don't think MANY teams would want to face the Sox top 3 starters in a playoff series.

All they need is a centerfielder, left fielder, 2nd baseman, catcher, and DH.

They're so close

Get 2 or 3 of those and now you're cooking. Problem is that the Sox aren't likely going to spend so they'll end up trade Sale or Quintana and then need pitching.

Why is it perceived that the White Sox will not spend?

They have shown that they'll spend money. It hasn't been spent well, but they spend.

They bargain shop or they catch a guy on the back 9 of his career and give him a 2 years deal.

Frazier wasn't bargain shopping.

Neither was Dunn.

Neither was Robertson.

Neither was LaRoche.

well, they already have the second baseman and left fielder.

The problem is that the CF and C are difficult positions to fill in FA with good players

They have a CF. They need a left handed power hitting right fielder. They also have the catcher of the future in the minors.

Fowler will probably have dampened expectations after his odyssey in FA last year. Still, as good as he has been for the Cubs, he has really only given them to half seasons of production. Can't deny the OBP and it would move Eaton to #2, where he has said he would like to bat. The defense isn't great. Going into his age 31 year, anything over 3 years would give me pause.

I'm still hoping the Cubs resign him, with similar thoughts to yours.

The defense is fine...and the Cell is small.

If there's one thing you can 100% bank on it's the Sox ability to develop position players.

Damn right. They are great at that!

Most of the guys that seem to have some promise to develop were traded away by Kenny.

Who are all these promising guys that they've traded away? The best one seems to be Semien, whose upside is Jose Valentin.

Not MANY, thats for sure. Chris Young was probably the best. I'm just saying that even if they had guys who showed some potential to develop, the Sox (Kenny) traded them away pretty quickly.

While their value was high. Those were good trades.
