00:00White Sox, one of the more disappointing teams in Major League Baseball
00:02over the last handful of years here.
00:04So much talent looks like they would be the team to beat in the Central,
00:06and then they just gave up and basically tanked it out.
00:08Not a lot of love in this lineup either.
00:10The home run leader coming into the season is Montgomery here with 21 last year,
00:1420 out of Ben and Tendi here.
00:15Don't love the lineup where Akami comes over to try to add some pop.
00:18Austin Hayes in that lineup, you understand, as a free agent as well.
00:21I don't love the lineup, but again,
00:23they're just trying to rebuild for the future at this point.
00:25I don't think there'll be a contender in the Central,
00:27but some of those players in the middle of that lineup,
00:29hey, man, they might be some good prospects you can turn out.
00:33I'm interested in the White Sox this year.
00:35I'll put it like that.
00:36Very likely to start.
00:37Murakami started off spring training solid the other day,
00:40a couple of hits, a couple of RBIs, which we like to see.
00:42My draw at the top of that lineup is interesting.
00:44What they get from Kyle Teal, their top catching prospect,
00:47and how he develops alongside Montgomery and Murakami,
00:51they may have some sneaky power in that.
00:53It's not going to be consistent, but I think it'll be there in the right spots.
00:56Pitching prospects, we'll find out.
00:57A lot of free agents signing there, Anthony Kaye, as well as Eric Fetty,
01:00who I love to see in that lineup, be able to bust him around.
01:02Smith, Martin, and Burke at the top here in the ERAs last year, Tom.
01:053.81, 4.10, 4.22.
01:08Rebuilding still for the Chicago White Sox,
01:10which again, value may be in the eye of the beholder, Tom, as you say.
01:13Right.
01:13Gene Smith's a good pitcher.
01:15After that, there's not much.
01:16But it's more about the pitching is so bad, Donnie,
01:19that when they're on the mound, that's who we target.
01:21We target Eric Fetty when he's on the mound for the White Sox.
