  1. Very interested in reading/hearing about the updated write-ups when FutureSox releases the updated rankings. The write-ups are much more important than straight rankings.

  2. Regarding the pronunciation of Kohl Simas (Mitchell followed Mike’s pronunciation, then said he wasn’t sure what it was), I remember Bill Simas’s name being pronounced See-mas. And actually I did just look up a find a reference to an ESPN pronunciation guide that does say SEE-mas.

    I guess it’s possible that everyone said his name wrong and he didn’t bother correcting them. Wouldn’t be the first time.

    But assuming it’s right, no shame in not knowing. He was last on the White Sox in 2000 and I’m assuming Mike was a little kid then.
