Was Kyle Hendricks a star with the Cubs?
Solid big leaguer.
Somewhere between him and Maddux.
That's a huge range range of outcomes.
#4-5 on these White Sox means he's
out of the game before he qualifies for a pension.
How many of the members of that 2012 Sox team went on to great success elsewhere?
Obviously you had Sale and Q...but who else actually turned out to be good?
So then there's basically zero point to any sports message board...since it's nearly impossible for anyone to "prove" or validate their credibility, ultimately. Unless they actually work inside the industry.
Got it.
Let's see back in 2014-15 the evidence that you were forecasting him as a future star lol...why didn't they or anyone else listen to you? You scouted him at Berkeley?
You could have sent a resume like WDWF supposedly did to JR every summer and secured yourself an internship. Maybe even a paid one.
But they will force him into RF due to his arm strength.
In the end, he will barely be remembered 2-3 years from now.
Mena at least has a chance to become a meaningful contributor.
This is the very definition of how Hahn put this organization behind the 8 ball.
Incrementally.
One bad move at a time creating an avalanche of diminished talent on the active roster...and a middling at best farm system whose major source of talent (Cuba) has pretty much completely dried up.
