James Fox of FutureSox sits down and talks about finding bright spots on a team with a dim outlook.  Will the inevitable roster turnover that is coming be limited to easy decisions or will Chris Getz…

Chase Meidroth played well in AAA and was elevated to the majors. So far, so good. One thing he does well is get on base. Another AAA prospect is putting up similar numbers but hasn't gotten the call…

With the exception of a couple $15,000,000 per year players, everyone on this team is being paid low enough that you could justify benching, optioning or releasing them. So, why are so many poor perf…
