New @soxmachine.com Video presented by Ankin Law

Colson Montgomery has been showing off the power in his first 25 MLB games. I asked @jrfegan.soxmachine.com how much the torpedo bat is helping with the slugging?

The bat has helped Montgomery refine his swing.

If you are a Chicago White Sox that wishes for more fire and brimstone from the coaching staff, new hitting coach Derek Shomon is going to be your guy.

As @jrfegan.soxmachine.com writes for @SoxMachine.com, Shomon is going to bring the energy.

I asked @jimcallis.bsky.social about Sam Antonacci, and if he's a left-handed hitting version of Chase Meidroth. Could there be a Spring Training battle of playing time at second base between Meidroth and Antonacci?

I recommend voting for Buehrle, Pettitte, and King Felix b/c starting pitchers of their era deserve much more credit.

My current 26-man Chicago White Sox roster projection with the current 40-man roster.

Speaking of 40-man roster, the White Sox are at 34. Which is great because they have plenty of room to add.
