The Chicago White Sox Rebuild
With the White Sox having one of the best farm systems in baseball at this writing March 5, 2018 I will take you back to before it started, February 26th 2016.
From that date until I get to the beginning of the 2018 season I will make only the trades and transactions on the date they actually happened in real life as close as the game will let me. When we get to the start of the 2018 season I will then take over as the GM making all decisions on trades and signings. I will update the team performance every 20 games or so and add a year end recap as well as a pre-season preview. Here we go...... The Sox pitching staff to start the 2016 season Chris Sale Jose Quintana Carlos Rodon Miguel Gonzalez Anthony Ranaudo Starting Lineup CF Adam Eaton SS Tim Anderson 1B Jose Abreu 3B Todd Frazier LF Melky Cabrera 2B Brett Lawrie RF Avasail Garcia C Alex Avila

The offseason gets started i the week of November 3 as the Sox grant 16 players free agency, most of them minor leaguers, but include ML players RP Matt Albers, C Alex Avila SP Anthony Ranaudo and OF Austin Jackson. They do pick up C Giovani Soto off waivers from Oakland on Nov. 7th On December 6th the Sox pull off the blockbuster trade to get the rebuild rolling as they send their ace SP Chris Sale to the Boston Red Sox for 4 prospects including #1 ML prospect Yoan Moncada as well as top pitching prospect Michael Kopech. The Red Sox also added OF Luis Alexander Basabe and SP Victor Diaz. The very next day the call is the the Washington Nationals as they send RF Adam Eaton for 3 top pitching prospects, Lucas Giolito, Reynaldo Lopez and Dane Dunning. The Sox made several minor free agent signings in the off season the most notable include SP Mike Pelfrey RP Anthony Swarzak on to spring training 2017......

Offense still an issue last in HR's and runs scored Starting pitching ranks next to last, the bullpen is middle of the pack Pelfrey's 9.31 ERA gets a demotion to the pen Kolmberg goes to the rotation with his 3.21 ERA. Abreu .319 and Saladino .300 the only offensive bright spots OF Jason Coats injured out 3-4 weeks, OF Jacob May called up from AAA May 2th Ryan Rayburn was traded to the Pirates, he was hitting .156 June 9th Giovany Soto was released also on that day Alen Hanson was picked up on waivers from Pittsburgh and placed on ML roster, Jacob May sent to AAA

August 1st rosters are set for the season and September call ups remain the only bright spot.
35-69 record still worst in the bigs Abreu hitting .304 with 21 dingers Lucas Giolito gets his first shot in the Show in Chicago as he makes his first start on July 19, he gives up 9 runs 12 hits to the Dodgers n 6 1/3 innings. But comes back with 2 good starts to finish out the month at gets his first ML win. The Sox make more moves before the deadline signing free agents RP Danny Farquhar RP Mark Lowe RP Jean Machi RP Al Alburquerque Melky Cabrera is traded to the Royals for AJ Puckett and Andre Davis Dan Jennings is traded to the Rays for Casey Gillaspie Anthony Swarzak is traded to the Brewers for Ryan Cordell

After Sox catchers have averaged right around the Mendoza line, Sept. call up Kevan Smith has hit .282 in 21 starts. Notable September Call ups SP Michael Kopech SP Reynaldo Lopez 2B Yoan Moncada 1B Casey Gillaspie CF Blake Rutherford
