Episode 124 is now available for your listening pleasure. Here is this week’s rundown:
- We highlight the announcement of Mark Buehrle’s number retirement, which the ceremony will take place on June 24th. With the uncertainty, if the Chicago White Sox will provide the same honor to Ozzie Guillen, we ponder how long fans may have to wait for another Sox player to have their number retired.
- The Sox split the weekend games. Jim shares what he thought were mostly good performances and what could be a bit concerning moving forward this Spring Training.
- Our guest this week calling from Glendale, Arizona is Connor McKnight, host of the Chicago White Sox radio pre and post game shows. Connor shares what he has learned from camp including what the gameplan is playing the prospects in games, and how he handled the toughest gig in White Sox media.
- Next, I’m joined by Patrick Nolan and Michael Kenny as we complete our 2017 position previews with the outfielders. Will 2017 be the final season that Melky Cabrera is an everyday starter? Can the White Sox count on Charlie Tilson to start the majority of the games in centerfield? And, is the season that Avisail Garcia finally puts it all together?
Of course, we answer your questions in P.O. Sox. Here are the one’s that made the show:
@SouthSideSox How much stock do you place on spring performance when trying to predict how a player will perform during the season? #POSox

@SouthSideSox realistic that Sanchez and Saladino could win last spots on MLB roster over Lawrie? #POSox

@SouthSideSox #POSox Too early to call it, but what do you think is the likelihood that Brett Lawrie makes it through spring w/ the Sox?

@SouthSideSox Is 2017 best case scenario bottoming out & getting #1 pick OR surprisingly competitive team boosted by productive call ups?
