The White Sox Podcast w/ Chuck Garfien

White Sox 2016 first round pick Zack Collins joins the podcast to talk about his future with the White Sox, when he hopes to make the big leagues and the doubters who question whether he can be a major league catcher. He discusses comparisons with Kyle Schwarber, his impressions of Yoan Moncada and Michael Kopech, why his dad took him to a Linkin Park concert when he was 6 years old and much more.

Chuck Garfien catches up with White Sox pitching coach Don Cooper who gives us the inside scoop on the new White Sox pitchers acquired in the Sale and Eaton trades: Lucas Giolito, Michael Kopech, Reynaldo Lopez, etc. Cooper talks about his relationship with Chris Sale, losing him in the trade with the Red Sox and describes what happened the day Sale cut up the throwback jerseys last season. Other topics include James Shields, David Robertson, Derek Holland, pitch-framing and more. Then Chuck, Ryan McGuffey and Chris Kamka pretend that they’re Rick Hahn, Pirates GM Neal Huntington and Astros GM Jeff Luhnow and try to strike a Jose Quintana deal right here on the podcast.

With the big returns for Chris Sale and Adam Eaton, are the White Sox responsible for the stalled trade market in Major League Baseball?

Chuck gives his list of possible free agent targets for the White Sox. Chris announces his Hall of Fame ballot for 2017. Do Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens belong in the Hall? What about Sammy Sosa and Manny Ramirez? They tackle the steroid generation and what it would mean for baseball if the notorious PED users get inducted.
