    He's a below average utility player that we knew would be overexposed yet chose to retain him for three years competing against no one

    He’s not below average as a utility player given the number of positions that he can play and play well adequately defensively, and he has speed offensively.  
     

    He’s only overexposed when he’s forced to start as much as he has.  Forget the injuries:  he’s overexposed partly because this front office failed to solve the second base issue over the offseason, and now Leury starts far more than he should.

    Vaughn's been great, but we are yet to see his supposed excellent plate discipline really show up in the major leagues

    Steady him with a position and spot in the lineup and then let’s see what the young man can do.

    Let’s not lose sight of the fact what’s been asked of him at the MLB level with so little minor league experience.

    It’s truly amazing how some people refuse to ever blame Hahn. 

    There have been way too many failed acquisitions over the years not to blame Hahn.  But I don’t want to lose sight of the fact of what this owner, who has operated on a losing model long before Hahn came along, has inflicted on him to make his job harder than it should be.

    Every day is a reminder that it’s hard to be worse than Rick Hahn when acquiring veterans.

    But if he’s pinched on budget by the owner, I don’t know, who’s to blame for acquiring the likes of Harrison this year, or Eaton last year, so on and so forth, when far better talent was available on the open market, but obviously more pricey.

    The only positive thing he's done in 40 years is not completely screw up inheriting a team with Michael Jordan. But there are people saying he's been a great owner because his teams have won 7 titles. give me a break.

    They are trying to conflate his so-called ownership of the two franchises.  

    Not one of those six Bulls championships has anything to do with the White Sox.  

    In the 40 of 41 years of ownership in years not named 2005, his team has won a COMBINED “5” postseason games across those four decades, with ZERO playoff series wins.  

    It is arguably one of the most ineffective ownerships of all time.
