Gut feelings for the Chicago White Sox 2025 season + get rid of the “nerds” in baseball?
Instead of predictions, let’s go with some gut feelings on how the 2025 Chicago White Sox season will go. Plus, former College World Series champion Tanner Allen joined the show to discuss his recent viral tweet about wanting the nerds out of baseball.
Tanner is not anti-analytics; he just wants the data more streamlined to be useful.
Finally, Alexander Canario and Mickey Moniak are available as the Sox should add these two young players despite being given up by other teams.

Moniak is a very interesting possibility as a WhiteSox. Why not? It's not like we are about to bust the budget. We have a possible great pitching staff coming by 2027-28 if they survive whatever it is causing such a run of TJ operations. I hope to be totally humiliated about my previous comments on Vargas and he becomes a viable ballplayer at 3B/1B and a possible all-star nod some day. But I don't see any power in the OF beyond Benintendi who is not known for it. Robert Jr will prove his durability and return to his previous productivity. Then he will be traded. So why not Moniak? I believe it is a gamble worth taking.
Mangum has shown to k alot and barely walk. He did have a good spring, but the entire profile of the player must be viewed, who did Tampa keep instead of Mangum?
Great podcast Todd, good insight to the data and stats in the game
. I agree with you in that analytics can be very useful if used in the right context 
Where do you go to watch Barons games?
Who will back up Vaughn at first base?
