Show notes

Opening up the mailbag and answering listener questions as well addressing all things Chicago White Sox. Some great fan-centric material was sent into the Locked on White Sox mailroom. What if the White Sox wore a different alternate uniform this year? Where to travel this season to see the White Sox and some optimism regarding Luis Robert. Also, if it's between Lucas Giolito and Liam Hendriks... which player should be traded? Speaking of trades, when will the Sox start operating via trade to improve this White Sox roster? Are the Toronto Blue Jays a viable trade partner and what would be the asking price? Also, new third base coach Eddie Rodriguez has a plan to help the Sox improve on their infield defense as he prioritizes communication and preparedness.

Andrew Vaughn will have his opportunity to shine in 2023 for the Chicago White Sox Jan 03, 2023

Show notes

Andrew Vaughn will have his opportunity to shine in 2023 for the Chicago White Sox. Could this year be the year of Andrew Vaughn? He will be stepping out of the shadow of Jose Abreu and trying to carve his own path. The chance to play at his natural position is an exciting change of pace for Vaughn. Can his back hold up and can he perhaps find a mentor in someone like White Sox legend, Paul Konerko? Vaughn is one of the many players that gives reason for an optimistic approach to the upcoming season. The AL Central is a winnable division but the White Sox need to play with an edge from the beginning. Hopefully Pedro Grifol can guide his ballclub to play with urgency and some purpose. Oscar Colas will be an exciting player to watch in 2023 but who will be watching out for him? Jose Abreu was the mentor for so many Cuban players. What veteran will step up and help guide Colas through the grind of an MLB season?

Way too early predictions for the upcoming Chicago White Sox season as we turn the page on a bizarre 2022 Dec 29, 2022

Show notes

Way too early predictions for the upcoming Chicago White Sox season as we turn the page on a bizarre 2022. The White Sox front office is pitching to fans that the hope for 2023 is improved health and players will return to accustomed levels. So, let's assume the White Sox stay relatively healthy. Let's assume most of the core players are able to stay in the lineup a majority of the season. How many home runs will Eloy Jimenez hit? Will Yoan Moncada return to his 2019 self? Could Yasmani Grandal put up similar numbers to his Milwaukee Brewers days? What about the starting rotation? How many innings could Michael Kopech throw? Is 15 wins possible for Dylan Cease? And, how about Lance Lynn? Lynn has been getting himself in shape and preparing for the long haul of the season. He seems to be on pace for a restriction-free Spring Training and a opportunity to pitch for team USA in the World Baseball Classic. Also, 2022 was a bizarre year in MLB and the Chicago White Sox did their part in making sure it was extra crazy.

It's time to have great expectations for the offensive production of the Chicago White Sox in 2023 Dec 28, 2022

Show notes

It's time to have great expectations for the offensive production of the Chicago White Sox in 2023. With a brand new hitting coach in Jose Castro and a brand new assistant hitting coach in Chris Johnson, the White Sox will be heading in a new direction. The new hitting coaches are talking about the importance of putting in the work ahead of time and setting yourself up for success. Unlocking the potential through a new approach and a new vocabulary is a refreshing perspective as we close the books on one of the most disappointing years in White Sox history. Will the players buy into what Castro and Johnson are selling? After last season, they really have nothing to lose. There is so much potential between Eloy Jimenez, Luis Robert, Yoan Moncada, Andrew Vaughn and Andrew Benintendi. Hopefully there is improved health in 2023 and hopefully there is a massive increase in offensive production.

Saying goodbye to 2022 while looking ahead at a familiar problem for the Chicago White Sox in 2023 Dec 27, 2022

Show notes

Saying goodbye to 2022 while looking ahead at a familiar problem for the Chicago White Sox in 2023. There were a lot of unfortunate moments for the White Sox during the 2022 season. Dallas Keuchel, Tony La Russa decisions, outfield featuring non-outfielders, baserunning and failing to have a player hit at least 20 home runs were just a few of the many failures. It's time to say goodbye to all the bad we experienced and start looking ahead to a brand new year filled with the same old question marks. The biggest mystery continues to be second base and it looks like a collection of internal options will fight for the starting role. The White Sox do not seem likely to throw money at that particular problem, even though it's been an issue for a long time. Could Romy Gonzalez be the man for the job in 2023?

Yasmani Grandal is on a mission to return to accustomed levels as the Chicago White Sox plan for 2023 Dec 23, 2022

Show notes

Yasmani Grandal is on a mission to return to accustomed levels as the Chicago White Sox plan for 2023. Grandal had a disappointing 2022 season filled with injuries and his offensive production was below his standards. Grandal is in the last year of his contract and has stayed in Chicago this off season to get himself stronger, healthier and better prepared for the grind of 2023. What could go wrong for the White Sox this pat season definitely did. They found all sorts of interesting ways to lose games and struggled to find leadership once Tim Anderson was shelved with an injury in early August. Anderson clearly sets the tone for the White Sox. Would the organization try to give Anderson a contract extension to make him a member of the White Sox for rest of his career? Does Tim Anderson even want that or does he want to test free agency in a few years? The Sox would be wise to make a decision on Tim Anderson sooner rather than later.

The process of cultivating a new culture for the Chicago White Sox might start with familiar faces Dec 21, 2022

Show notes

The process of cultivating a new culture for the Chicago White Sox might start with familiar faces. We know that new manager Pedro Grifol has already started surrounding himself new a coaching staff that features many familiar faces from his Kansas City days. Grifol has some familiarity with new left fielder, Andrew Benintendi, and the White Sox recently brought fan favorite Billy Hamilton back into the organization. Much like Benintendi, Hamilton spent some time in Kansas City. Speaking of Benintendi, he continues to work on improving his swing as he seems to focus on the process and let the results speak for themselves. A healthy 2023 will hopefully mean a spike in power numbers for Benintendi and all White Sox sluggers. If Pedro Grifol has a say in the matter, what area of need will the White Sox look to address next? More outfield depth or will the White Sox finally look to adding a veteran second baseman? Maybe free agent Jean Segura?

With the Andrew Benintendi signing, the Chicago White Sox finally have a left fielder to play left field Dec 19, 2022

Show notes

With the Andrew Benintendi signing, the Chicago White Sox finally have a left fielder to play left field. The White Sox were not supposed to be throwing money at their problems but that's exactly what they did when they signed Benintendi to a 5 yr./$75 million dollar deal recently. The Sox get a proven defender, a lefty bat and also gave Benintendi the richest contract in the franchise history. Benintendi will be reunited with coaches from his Kansas City Royals days such as Pedro Grifol, Mike Tosar and Eddie Rodriguez. The White Sox have coveted Benintendi since missing out on him in the 2015 MLB draft. Instead of operating via the trade market, Grifol and Hahn must have convinced owner Jerry Reinsdorf to live a little and spend on a free agent to address one of their glaring needs. Now what about second base?

Will Oscar Colas be the sixth different right fielder in as many years to start Opening Day for the White Sox? Dec 15, 2022

Show notes

Will Oscar Colas be the sixth different right fielder in as many years to start Opening Day for the White Sox? Right field has been a revolving door for the Chicago White Sox. AJ Pollock, Adam Eaton, Nicky Delmonico, Daniel Palka, and Avi Garcia have started in right field on Opening Day during the last five seasons. The White Sox have failed to acquire big name free agents and their short term moves have not produced results. Number two rated prospect, Oscar Colas, has been putting in the work this offseason and could make the leap to the big leagues come Opening Day. When, if ever, will Chicago baseball teams act like they are in a big market? If free agency has taught us anything so far... you adapt or you die. Also, seven years ago the White Sox traded for Todd Frazier.

Does new Chicago White Sox manager Pedro Grifol have an offseason wish list? Dec 14, 2022

Show notes

Does new Chicago White Sox manager Pedro Grifol have a wish list this offseason? We have seen Grifol's fingerprints all over the new coaching staff but he could he also be wanting a few players to help mold his team his for 2023? Could free agent outfielder, Andrew Benintendi, be on Grifol's wish list? Benintendi checks all the boxes and has experience with Grifol from his Kansas City Royals days. He wouldn't cost very much but that fact that he would cost anything at all might be a deal breaker for the Sox. Lucas Giolito is working hard to return to accustomed levels. The news is encouraging in regards to his offseason development. Also, let's take a trip down memory lane when the White Sox spent a ton of money in free agency and made a very bold trade.
