The White Sox have some real ballplayers and the youth movement is suddenly on after this past weekend. We have a perplexing question about Joshua Palacios, though. It goes something like "why is Joshua Palacios stealing at bats from Edgar Quero?" Another question has to do with next season. Are the White Sox closer to getting out of the basement in the AL Central than previously thought? Enjoy "30 Minutes of Sox!"

Jerry Reinsdorf had another bad day this week as the Chicago Fire swooped in with a privately owned stadium for The 78. Turns out threats to move your baseball team and demands for public funding are so 1980's. Meanwhile Luis Robert Jr looks cooked and the only question remaining is what kind of team would give anything up for him. We tackle these topics and more in "30 Minutes of Sox!"

The Miguel Vargas turnaround continues to astound, but is he the prototype for the ideal White Sox hitter? The return for the Matt Thaiss trade matches other acquisitions, and the internal hitters that are performing have some traits that are starting to define the Sox offensive type.  But this new White Sox way may have a flaw.  The Sox Nerd talks catchers, homers and the Pope while Chris trolls Twins fans and sets his expectations for the rest of this season in 30 minutes of White Sox.

Andrew Vaughn heads to the minors. (Tim Elko too.) Matt Thaiss is traded to break up a catching logjam as Korey Lee returns. Now Will Venable gets to set a lineup that looks a lot like what we were suggesting months ago. We look at the positives and the players starting to show they may be part of the team's future plans as some of these guys look like actual ballplayers for the White Sox.

There is a reason the White Sox had to sign a 5th starter rather than promote from within. The arms down on the farm aren't quite ready. Some of the bats are, though, but supporting teammates for the next wave of talent is needed sooner rather than later.

Will Venable has been trying something new with his lineups. It isn't old school. It isn't new school. The White Sox manager is stacking OBP because he has an incomplete lineup. In Cincinnati it actually worked very well. We also update the White Sox Gatekeeping Affair from last Saturday night as it becomes more apparent that there may be a security issue at the ballpark. (Yes, other than that time someone reportedly got shot last year.)
