Good Guys Talk Back

The Chicago White Sox are (3-8) during Cactus League play. So far, the offense has been inept however Eloy Jimenez and Yoan Moncada have been bright spots. Moncada has mentioned to Pedro Grifol that he would like to bat 2nd this season. Grifol said that Moncada is one of the best bunters on the team. Dylan Cease, Michael Kopech and Garrett Crochet saw action this past week. Crochet has impressed, striking our Shohei Ohtani and Mike Trout. Grifol continues to talk about indefinable qualities and a certain type of baseball he wants to play but the specifics are lacking. Battles continue for utility spots and Oscar Colas plays first base. Thanks for the continued support. Go Sox. #WhiteSox

The Chicago White Sox are back in action in Arizona. After the first three games, the Sox are (1-2) and have played a little sloppy. Pedro Grifol has a new acronym that he hopes will catch on and perhaps ignite some unity. New play-by-play voice, John Schriffen, is getting his sea legs and Steve Stone makes a prediction about the upcoming season. What's going on with the new stadium? Jerry needs money and a new ballpark to compete.... or else. Thanks for the continued support. Go Sox. #ChicagoWhiteSox #WhiteSox

Hey Sox fans! Welcome back to Good Guys Talk Back. Pitchers and catchers have reported and the first full squad workout is upon us. Pedro Grifol has a lot of bodies to choose from and apparently he's going to do things a little different this time. Grifol also has some bulletin board material that he believes will help get the Sox to be all kinds of fired up. Mike Moustakas is the latest former KC Royal to get a chance with the Sox. Kopech and Crochet are hoping for health and a fresh start. Also, Jerry wants one billion dollars. Thanks for the continued support. Go Sox. #WhiteSox #ChicagoWhiteSox

Hey Sox fans! Welcome back to Good Guys Talk Back. Pitchers and catchers report to Spring Training in a few days. What a list of names the Sox get to choose from for their starting staff. And how about those catching options? Wow. Utility man folk hero, Danny Mendick, was issued a non-roster invitation and will try to recapture the TWTW from a few seasons ago. Also, there were new renderings of the South Loop stadium and the lack of parking opportunities seemed to have caused a stir. Thank you for the continued support. Go Sox. #WhiteSox #ChicagoWhiteSox

Hey Sox fans! Welcome back to Good Guys Talk Back. The Sox traded away Gregory Santos and Cristian Mena to the Seattle Mariners and Baltimore Orioles, respectively. Santos could very well have been the Sox closer in 2024 and Mena was a well thought of pitching prospect. The Sox got some much needed outfield depth in return. Dominic Fletcher came to the Sox from AZ and should be a player to watch this spring. With all of this outfield depth, does this mean Gavin Sheets will no longer hang out in right field? Romy Gonzalez found a new home and the word rebuild gets its due. Thank you for the continued support, Go Sox. #WhiteSox #ChicagoWhiteSox

Hey Sox fans! Welcome back to Good Guys Talk Back. SoxFest will return in 2025. Just in time for the 20th anniversary of the 2005 team. John Schriffen is the new voice of the Chicago White Sox. Another member of the organization that will be learning on the fly. Could Dylan Cease be dealt to Seattle? Yoan Moncada is feeling healthy. Eloy has grand plans if he's healthy and Andrew Benintendi is eating more, but getting healthy. Thanks for the continued support. Go Sox. #WhiteSox #ChicagoWhiteSox

Hey Sox fans! Welcome back to Good Guys Talk Back. Have you heard the serious talks about the Chicago White Sox building a new stadium a few miles north in the South Loop neighborhood? How could you not? Could this really happen or is it all just a distraction from the nothingness that is the White Sox off-season? It's apparently a three person race for the next Sox play-by-play broadcaster. Baseball executives believe Chris Getz will wait and trade Dylan Cease at the deadline. Also, the Sox signed a reliever... surprise, surprise. #WhiteSox #ChicagoWhiteSox

Hey Sox fans! Welcome back to Good Guys Talk Back. Garrett Crochet wants to be a starter in 2024 and it sure sounds like Chris Getz wants to give him that opportunity. Maybe the theme for the Sox this season should be: Do whatever you want, nobody is watching. Perhaps other players might explore different avenues. Michael Kopech is in great shape and ready to deliver. There's a new assistant general manager on the South Side and he has Kansas City connections. Also, the Sox released the first wave of the 2024 promotional schedule. Almost all of your favorites are back. Thanks for the continued support, Go Sox.

Hey Sox fans! Welcome back to Good Guys Talk Back. As the winter presses on, the White Sox continue to gather players that either were former KC Royals or add some very basic depth to a variety of places in the organization. If quantity was the name of the game, then the Sox are leading the offseason. The Sox hint at an upcoming promotional schedule being release and Luis Robert Jr. will be a focal point in 2024. Also, predictions are made that Dylan Cease will be on the roster on Opening Day. Thank you for the continued support. Go Sox!

Hey Sox fans! Happy New Year and Welcome back to Good Guys Talk Back. We've got some skin in the game after taking advantage of +3500 odds for our White Sox to win the division in 2024. Sox add some catching depth by bringing in Martin Maldonado. Hopefully his defense returns to accustomed levels and his offense defies all odds. Sox also added some pitching since the last time we talked. Reliever Tim Hill has been added to the bullpen and starter Chris Flexen has been brought into the rotation conversation. These are one year, low risk stop gap moves but do these decisions take advantage of a weak division? Are these the types of moves that make you feel comfortable with the direction the Sox are headed? Here's to a happy and healthy 2024.
