Chicago White Sox
One more from Williams: "We knew we would get here and maybe a year too early, but the opportunities that exist exist this year. We are going to down the road and see where it leads us and hopefully we can trend upward."
Williams: "It’s not by accident we are in a better position to go out and do some things in a more aggressive way. We prepared for this. That was part of our plan all along."
Good news for White Sox: Yankees seem to be out on Bryce Harper https://t.co/bs8GuMW8qr
RT @jnorris427: As I described him on our podcast: "He's built like a god and sometimes hits the ball like one, too." https://t.co/5E883BQI7j

Just dawned on me that the Bulls are coached by a guy who will make his players run sprints to toughen them up and the White Sox are managed by a guy who will bench his players for not running to first base hard enough.

Ken Williams: White Sox's pursuit of Bryce Harper, other top free agents an 'obvious' choice https://t.co/HwuX4zOQRB
Williams on Avi Garcia: "Avi brought it every day. He busted his ****. He worked his **** off every day. We just didn’t tender him a contract. That doesn’t necessarily mean you won’t ever see him in a White Sox uniform anymore."
Interesting tidbit from Ken Williams today: "Nobody talks about Micker Adolfo, but the ball just explodes off his bat and he has a cannon for an arm that has been fixed now."
2017 6th round progressing...
Day 1 of throwing in the books. Felt great to pickup a ball for the first time since May 13th....Not there yet, but one day closer!
Kimbrel at least initially was said to be seeeking 6 years, meaning sides were at least 2 years apart
In saying Red Sox not planning to make significant expenditure for a closer, Dombrowski gave strongest indication yet that Craig Kimbrel won't be re-signing with team. Said team could sign a reliever with late-inning experience before Kimbrel signs somewhere.
RT @DanEvans108: Congratulations to Harold Baines on his election to the @BaseballHall!!!!! Absolute class man, easily the most clutch hitter I've ever been around. We were together for 12 years with the @whitesox & I treasure our friendship. Still thankful for his HR in the 25th inning 5/9/84!
Baines wishing his father could have experienced Hall honor with him. "He's my hero."
Harold Baines breaking down on stage talking about how proud his family would be of him. Very difficult to hear his words because he was almost speechless when answering- Who would be proud of you today?
An emotional Harold Baines tears up when asked who would be proud of him today. “My father’s not here. He’s my hero.”

Outfielder Mike Gerber, a product of Naperville's Neuqua Valley HS, is on the move. He was claimed off waivers by the Giants from the Tigers. He made his big-league debut last season but hit .095 in 18 games.
Ken Williams acknowledged that, in the third year of the #WhiteSox' rebuild, it’s time to be aggressive, @CST_soxvan writes. https://t.co/r5jJn0WxZH
