While he was suspended this happened?
Said it happened in a check swing a game or two before his suspension started.

Was just coming here to post that. Leury at SS long term does not help my 50-50 postseason odds listed above.

Can Sosa play short?

He cant be any worse at it than Leury. Let the kid have a shot at it.

Is there anyone else on the roster that can play SS besides Leury?

Timmay himself hasn't had the best season in the field either :lol:

Not sure about payroll, but in terms of best roster; Astros, Nationals, Cubs, Royals, Giants, all have had one of the best rosters in the league and won it all in the last decade or so.

Should the Sox make the playoffs this year, which is probably 50-50 at worst, that would be three years in a row. Three years in a row of losing in the first round/ALDS would be nothing short of an absolute trainwreck. If you and LTG want to accept Division Titles, go right ahead. Packers fans also are content just to get to the dance. That's no longer good enough for me. At this point with the talent the Sox have, I demand more of them in October. No more mediocre bullshit. Its time for them to Change the Game.


The Dodgers have an all star roster, they print money, and still haven't won a legitimate World Series. Of course every fan wants their team to be the Yankees of the late 90's and early 00's and wants progress to be linear. Stripping away the raw emotions, we all should recognize that getting a ticket to the dance is a success. Lady Luck takes over from there. If the Sox continue to make the playoffs, they'll win a World Series.

Let's take a look though at this division since its' inception. Teeny, tiny, microscopic markets. Now Pizza Man is gone. Is there really an excuse to not to sustain a winning record? Is there an excuse not to be the St Louis Cardinals?

They have won 2 legitimate pennants and have another NLCS appearance. Covid or not, their recent run is miles better than the White Sox.

I'm asking for one title. MANY would be great, but one should be doable.

Or, hold the team to a higher standard. Of course, somebody who celebrated the Cubs in 2016 while in the bleachers cannot be a true Sox fan at heart.

Sox had tickets in 2020 and 2021. Its not asking much for them to advance should they get there in 2022. Good teams create their own luck to an extent. Giolito and Lynn were awful last year in the ALDS, no unlucky.

Gotta make the playoffs first and right now, they're on the outside looking in and just lost one of the best hitters in the league for a month.


Frank, you said that the season would be a failure if the White Sox didn't win the WS. You're also the guy who renounced his Bears fandom. We're meatball brothers, but I can't put much stock into whatever way the wind blows you on a particular day.

Not true. I said this season was a failure if the Sox didn't win the pennant, and I'll stand by that. Given what the Sox did in 2020 and 2021, this should have been a World Series season. It appears the Sox will fall woefully short of that. Failure.

Anything short of winning the pennant next year is a total failure.

Thats the bar. Play in the World Series.

I expect the Sox to compete for division titles like the Cardinals for the foreseeable future. It'll be easier if the GM isn't not so quietly trying to sabotage his manager with zero depth and a lineup full of designated hitters and fringe ML players.

The main difference is I think this team can win the division and is probably more likely to do so than its opponents. What then though? You have to get through not just one, but two historically great teams. Still, it's a funny game. If the Sox starters are sharp at playoff time, they have a fighting chance.


At full strength the Sox probably have no worse than the 3rd most talented team in the American League. And they have easily the most talented team in the division. Couple this with the fact that the team's core (Excluding Abreu) is young. With all of this being the case they can't be sellers. They have to ride this out for about 2 more seasons before they can even think of unloading players. I think LaRussa was only ever going to be a 2 year max manager so he is likely gone no matter what following the season. But in no way should they break this team up and start a rebuild. I still believe the biggest issue has been injuries. Particularly to key players. Only time will tell of course.


If I can unload Anderson for the right guys in the offseason, I do it in a heartbeat.

I would consider it too but I still would not break up the team. Of the "core guys" he and possibly Abreu (because of age) would be the only 2 I'd consider moving. I still would like Abreu to become a full time DH at some point with Vaughn sliding over to 1st. I would definitely consider moving Timmay though. Not sold on it but he isn't an "untouchable" by any stretch either.

He may never reach that age if they keep him running around in the OF.

Supposedly he wants to play the field. Maybe they can convert him to a subpar 1B and Vaughn to an average LF.

He could never play 1st at a stadium where they keep the tarp down the RF line. He'd break a leg running into one sooner or later.

I like him. He can hit all types of pitchers and he's consistent compared to most of these modern, never make a single adjustment, hitters.

TA swings the bat and hits .300+ every year. That kind of thing is impossible to find in a launch angle, see a bunch of pitches league.

Agree. He could knock up 30 different broads for all I care. Just win a world series.

I guess mine too. Abreu is a close 2nd just because he sprints full out after a 3rd out. I like when guys have a thing. I mean, other than yelling Fuck.

You aren't winning a World Series with him as your "team leader."


Abreu is the team leader. Why can't you win a WS with TA7?

Team leaders matter. Managers don’t. Got it.

TA hits enough to offset most of his bad defense. You can absolutely win with a guy like Anderson as your primary shortstop, though he has to play 130 games.

He's capable of playing not only good defense, but great defense. I honestly believe the lack of focus comes from being late to baseball. In so saying that, it also follows he would play an excellent shortstop "under the bright lights".
