Guff and BA are back with another edition of the White Sox REKAP Podcast. Today, they discuss the #whitesox need for starting pitching and who they should look into acquiring. The guys both like #loganwebb, but his price would be very steep. Would you be willing to give up a top prospect like #calebbonemer to get a starting pitcher? The guys also talk about how great #colsonmontgomery has been to start his career and what Sox players could make the All-Star team.
