    Why would the players hate the kid? This was a ploy by Williams to get rid of a fat contract. Throw shit on the wall and see if it sticks. This could backfire big time. Since the players are now against him they can start throwing games away until management is forced to fire him.

    From a gambler's perspective I would bet against Whitesox in the beginning of season until Williams is gone.

    It may hurt the team, which is mediocre anyway, but to think they will throw games is pretty ridiculous.

    I am pretty sure that there are a lot of fathers playing in the majors that don't get to see their kids for extended periods of time. Those are the sacrifices that come with that high paying job.

    And the truth comes out. Can't say that I am surprised.

    Several players and staff members privately complained to White Sox management recently about the constant presence of LaRoche’s 14-year-old son, Drake, in the clubhouse.

    What a bunch of women

    Too afraid to confront Laroche to his face, so they go behind his back to the manager

    I'd be embarrassed to be on that team

    Sale-Eaton with all their grandstanding and trying to embarass the GM over this, I doubt they will now have the cujones to publicly apologize.

    Spot on, if it was a problem, don't make a locker for the kid and encourage. Kids need their dad in this age more then ever, gives children some beginning foundation of how to act, builds character, how hard to work, how to respond and any given situation, your dad teaches you that stuff.

    I agree that he will learn more next side of his dad then he would at a particular school at that age, as pavy said the traveling, dressing up, being part of the team and watching is a unique experience, and for dad to give it all up because of the predicament the staff put him in... Bravo, good for him #1Dad

    have you ever been around an annoying little "entitled" kid that's been spoiled rotten????

    I used to live in West U, inside of h-town, (where biggio's kids played ball with mine, for eg.), and saw hundreds of these annoying little fuks daily.....

    AND, unless they are YOUR little annoying fuks (I loved my two and didn't find them obnoxious at all), you would rather gouge your eyes out and drive nails into your ears rather than see or listen to them for even one f'n minute of your day......

    brainfreeze,.... I wish I could hear the conversation coming from inside the building the Laroche boys are approaching.....

    im sure it's along the lines of this:

    Exec 1: "Oh shit, here comes laroche and his punk-ass annoying kid."

    Exec 2: "Fuk."

    Exec 1: "Man I'd like to drown that annoying little prick."

    Exec 2: "And his son"

    Exec 1: "Fuk".....

    (they enter the building)

    Execs 1 and 2, cheerfully: "HEY ADAM, HOW ARE YOU?!?!?!" "and little Drake, don't you look ready to go today, all dressed just like your dad!!!"

    After the Laroche boys pass....

    Exec 2: man I hate those two....

    Exec 1: any news on his replacement on the waiver wire?

    Exec 2: fuk

    Exec 1: we're fukked
