The White Sox Farm system, if White Sox pitching can actually get better... a tribute to Ken "Hawk Harrelson, if Tim Anderson, Yoan Moncada and Eloy Jimenez will stay consistent... MLB scheduling woes... and if Daniel Palka will EVER get a hit again in the MLB.  01:22 - 07:23: White Sox Farm SystemWe start off with an analysis of White Sox players that are moving up in the minors. This is an incredibly interesting time in the White Sox rebuild, as we see players in the lower levels performing at an insanely high level, and forcing the issue of moving up to the big leagues. However, a log jam is introduced when you consider where players from A+ and AA are supposed to go when you have an already full AAA roster.  07:23 - 14:19: White Sox Starting PitchingThere is an unfortunate spell of inconsistency happening with the entire starting rotation for the Chicago White Sox. With the possible exceptions of Carlos Rodon and Ivan Nova... Lucas Giolito, Reynaldo Lopez and now Ervin Santana are lacking in their ability to get out jams they've been getting themselves into.  14:19 - 19:37: Ken "Hawk" HarrelsonJoe opens up about his thoughts on the Hawk Harrelson cover story that was played during the various rain/snow delays, and about commentators being fans versus an unbiased analyst.  19:37 - 36:22: Tim AndersonTim Anderson is on an undeniable hot streak, but hear why Joe isn’t excited about him as much as other prospects coming up. Also, an interesting realization that the White Sox have very little infield depth in the farm system.  37:31 - 42:09: White Sox Starting Pitching (part 2!)A realization that while White Sox pitchers are definitely playing terrible so far, it seems like the opposing pitchers we've seen just so happen to be absolutely acing the White Sox hitters.  42:09 - 47:27: MLB SchedulingA discussion about MLB scheduling issues, and why we continue to see cold April games in the Midwest. 47:27 - 01:00:29: Eloy JimenezYou tell us... is 2019 Eloy Jimenez following the same patch as 2018 Moncada? Ryan points out that all of the pitchers we've seen so far are taking advantage of Jimenez' lack of MLB maturity and coming right out and attacking him, because they know they can right now.  01:00:29 - 01:13:16: More Contract Extensions Across The MLBRyan is enamored with even more extensions going on across the league, and we discuss the possibility, and probability of locking up another one of our own young players... Dylan Cease! Maybe even Yoan Moncada? Do the White Sox have anyone else they should consider extending a contract to?  01:13:16 - 01:16:33: White Sox Weekly Wrap-UpWe wrap up this week with a preview of the coming week, and give our predictions if Daniel Palka will actually get a hit before our next episode.
