ron883 Posted August 2, 2019 Author Share Posted August 2, 2019 I've been saying it for some time and everybody would clown on me. I said the truth about Jose declining, his defense, and everybody laughed. Well, look at him now. He's been absolutely awful and undeniably in decline. Even his most ardent supporters can't deny it anymore. Ron was right. Fresh crow, served by yours truly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greg775 Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 (edited) I'm not asking for a banning as I like ron, but if greg had started this many threads on the same issue ... buy bye for 6 months greg. I'm not going to make a comment as there are plenty of threads for me to talk about one of my fave players.

Nobody wanted his bum ass this deadline. They should have moved him anytime in the last three years and gotten an asset. Now they are in the horrible position of having to resign him to save face instead of just letting him walk like any GM and FO with pride and confidence would. 'his bum ass' ... really? He's not a bum just because he's enconced in a slump. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's no better than Adam Dunn now What’s your opinion of Jerry Reinsdorf as owner of the White Sox? Kenny Williams as Senior Whatever-He-Is and Rick Hahn as General Manager of the White Sox? Ricky Renteria as the field manager of the team? Your fervor in providing feedback on those questions surrounding White Sox baseball would be more valued than those too-often repeated views on the one guy who has actually given the franchise any worthwhile face value the past several years Edited August 2, 2019 by Thad Bosley 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poppysox Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 10 hours ago, Sox72 said: Since he wasn’t traded, I don’t see any reality where he is not back next year. If they don’t plan on re-signing him, then why not trade him for something-anything? They certainly aren’t in contention for anything this year where it would make sense to keep him for a stretch run and let him walk. I just can’t think of any logical reason he wouldn’t be traded if they had no intention on signing him for at least next year. Maybe the long play of keeping your reputation with respect to trades? You’d have to have faith in Hahn to think that way, and I’m not saying I don’t. But it seems a stretch. I have the same take on this as you do. Perhaps Hahn will let Jose test free agency then resign him for a short and relatively cheap window while we wait for Vaughn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
