Episode 122 is available for your listening pleasure. Here is this week’s rundown:
- Our guest is a talent evaluator for Fangraphs, Eric Longenhagen. You can read his in-depth analysis on the White Sox farm system including KATOH projections here. Eric tells us why Yoan Moncada is a “generational” talent and which prospects he is keeping a close eye on this upcoming minor league season.
- We begin our 2017 season previews focusing on the players who are showing up to camp first: pitchers and catchers. How will Jose Quintana fare with trade rumors constantly swirling around him? Is Carlos Rodon ready to make the leap? Can Miguel Gonzalez repeat 2016? What should Sox fans expect from James Shields and Derek Holland? Who will be Omar Narvaez’s partner handling the pitching staff on Opening Day?
- Finally, we get to your questions in P.O. Sox.
@SouthSideSox #POSox I became a Sox fan last year, did I pick the worst time to follow the team?

@SouthSideSox on a scale of Loria to Ilitch, how should we rate Jerry Reinsdorf? Are Sox fans too hard or too easy on him?
