Dick Allen Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 (edited) I do agree, there isn’t another organization in baseball that would have let RH do a rebuild after seeing his previous results. It makes me very skeptical. As for the other stuff, all true, but....that is part of development. If you are all in on a rebuild, you have to expect things like this, not everyone will work out. Some will get hurt, some will suck, some will improve and be what they were projected to be. It takes a little while and a lot of luck. We just have to hope Ricks previous results are no indication as to how this will work out, or we all are going to be pretty upset.

Sarava Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 No doubt the rebuild has gone backwards a bit this year. But I'm still hopeful. There's a lot to look forward to still. I think the onus is on the Sox to do something this winter that will excite the fanbase. I want to see a big free agent signing. Pair that player up with Eloy next year, and the future will hopefully look a lot brighter a year from now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago White Sox Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 This Kopech news has hit me hard, but the worst part without question is having to endure Tommy Longo trying to use this as part of his agenda. Rick Hahn did NOT cause the tear in Kopech’s UCL and using that against him is just plain trolling. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldsox Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 Just a bump in the road for Sox fans. Much worse for young Mr. Kopech, I am sure. Histrionics seldom help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Letting Rick Hahn and company architect this rebuild was a terrible decision. Where is the light at the end of the tunnel? This is certainly a depressing list but it is what it is. There are 2 things that can be done this coming off season. Hahn can make some trades or he can sign some free agents. If you look at Hahns track record most of his trades and free agent signings have turned out bad. This is the 6th year under Hahn as the White Sox GM and the team has yet to have a winning season. Some people who post here keep talking about the White Sox going to the playoffs sometime soon. I'm just hoping the team has a winning season sooner rather than later. To the best of my knowledge Hahn is signed thru the 2019 season. If the 2019 season turns out to be another dreadful year I'm hoping Hahn will be gone. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want this organization to win another WS in my lifetime. That is never going to happen under this current regime and it is becoming more and more clear with each passing day. People are already talking about trading Rodon on here and how the Kopech injury is gonna push back the rebuild window a couple years. Why delay what seems inevitable at this point? Fire Hahn and company and hire some people who actually know what they are doing. 1 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The inability of the front office to develop young talent is why the rebuild was necessary, yet that same front office is now in charge of developing young talent again. Really is mind blowing, but you cant fire the owner so here we are. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't make those conclusions until they make it or bust in the MLB. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lip Man 1 Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 The two main issues are worthwhile discussing since they seem to be impacting the rebuild: 1. Is the same front office that drove the franchise into the ditch it is now in capable of fixing the damage they did? 2. Given the past three seasons worth of injuries at the major and minor league level is there something that may be missing now from a training / conditioning standpoint? If you can't keep the guys you are counting on to anchor the rebuild healthy at all levels (including the major leagues) you have a serious issue. It is still to early to call the rebuild a success or a failure. The next two years, I think, will help determine that. If at the end of the 2020 season the Sox are still floating around the 60-65 win mark, then ownership (whomever that may be) is going to have to make a decision on the future of the front office and the direction this team needs to go in, in my opinion. I had hoped for some real improvement in the won/lost column in 2019, not contention, not a winning season but real improvement. I'm afraid now that doesn't seem like a real possibility. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
