We've got a thread calling for Dave Wills already. Yesterday, Mac said the 2 guys he hoped got a shot were McDoink (hell no) and Carmen DeFalco (sure, why not?)

For PBP, there's actually nothing wrong with DeFalco or McDoink. Radio voices and articulation....both are competent. They both in terms of entertainment value are incredibly bland, but that's ok. Pat Hughes and John Rooney are great examples of people that aren't particularly interesting but call a good game.

Dave Wills is still the best option....you'd get a good radio voice place a bit of character. That's pretty tough to come by in this day and age.

I will always be more concerned with the color analyst selection than PBP.

McKnight would make a perfectly serviceable PA announcer, or somebody in the Grote/Zaidman role that the Cubs broadcasts have so that Pat can go take a shit.

I used to listen to Detroit radio just to hear Ernie Harwell. a great PBP man makes a huge difference. Harry Caray back in the 70s with the Sox must be the last time this city has really had one. Hughes is fine but not great.

Please don't put Zaidman in the same realm of Grote....they may have had the same jobs, but I don't want Zaidman or anyone like him anywhere near my White Sox broadcasts. If anything, Grote is a guy that doesn't have the most radio vocal tones, but is a good host in a variety of roles. Zaidman has been a fucking turd in every role he's held.

These are all terrible suggestions. It's the Sox, so it's going to be someone like Konerko, Ozzie, or AJ.

For play by play??

darrin will be new PBP with someone even worse than darrin doing the color.... it's how things work in jerry land

Wills is the guy I want as well.

The Sox have really made some bad announcer decisions in the past. Benetti has turned into a great choice and hopefully he is giving them positive momentum

I think Benetti is fine, with one major caveat, he is so damn smug. There are times when Stone and him really get going and it feels like its a smugness competition. He's not as smug when I hear him call other sporting events, so I know he has a non-smugness gear, I just wish he would shift into it a little more often during baseball games.

Hughes is definitely great. This is just White Sox bias showing.

Maybe the Sox should do like the old-fashioned TV/radio rotation like the Yankees used to do. I don't think Stone is good at play-by-play, though.
