This makes it even more frustrating that they didn't do a real search to rebuild this organization because they "couldn't waste a year" now they come out and finally acknowledge this thing is nowhere close and its going to be a while.

Translation: “I don’t want to be the face of a franchise or the hero of a new generation of baseball fans. I’d rather OPS under .600, collect my paycheck, and cheat on my wife with Instagram hoochies.”

It's almost like he has averaged 30 innings a season for the last six or seven seasons. Weird.

Not @Harold's Leg Lift.

The MLB should fine Reinsdorf for this abortion of a baseball team.

It was ridiculous bringing him out this inning. The game was over why waste his limited pitches on bad outings?

I can't believe there are still posters that don't think this team is setting the franchise loss record. It's fucking happening, and it's not even going to be close.

This is shocking!!

However long this takes, it would have taken anyone other than Chris Getz at least one year longer.

The year is 2097. The White Sox have just traded fan favorite Jake Burger IV for top prospect Glorbatron the Destroyer. It is hailed as the final piece of the rebuild. Team owner Jerry Reinsdorf seems reinvigorated.

He's also 57 years old.

Someone will say it's because Getz needs time to evaluate everything, despite him being hired because he didn't need that time.

When it was season ticket renewal time in the fall last year the communication was "we are not going through another rebuild". I was one of the suckers who renewed.

“I'm starting with the man in the mirror I'm asking him to change his ways And no message could've been any clearer If they wanna make the world a better place Take a look at yourself and then make a change.”

Can he find 2 in a row?? Discuss.

This way of thinking is what got Apollo Creed killed.

For an organization that has made a ton of horrible decisions, trying to make him into an innings eater right off the bat is one of their dumbest.

Getz making roster moves...

This team isn't even an abortion. This team is the seed that gets left in a tissue and dies on a nightstand after sitting there for a couple days.

We have 10 homers?!?

I regret making this meme, not knowing what was coming just 5 years later.

All he ever does is roll his hands over hitting the ball into the ground constantly

Hey at least I can switch to the Bulls Sigh, nvm

Why would he need an innings limit?!? He is ready for 200 this year!!!

Stone is living in the past. He thinks 35 year old Whit Merrifield is still a good player and is mystified by his slow start.

I’d say he answered it well enough. He took some blame for himself and admitted the team wasn’t put together to win. I’m happy to move past his time on the team and all the other players that were put together.

I do not like Tim Anderson here or there, I do not like him anywhere.

Buddy hate to be the bearer of bad news but you better understand that towel was thrown in last August

Anderson still talks like he's a valuable baseball asset. That's fine, but it's not reality. Thanks for a few nice years, now f*** off.

No s%*#.

This continues to show that JR really has no issue with shitting on the fans.

Love it. The guy who couldn't develop our prospects is telling us it's gonna be a while

I always hear complaining about players being generic and speaking in cliches until they actually speak their minds.

If Getz can convince ownership to bring in one less crappy bench player/ reliever per year and spend that money on player development, scouting, drafting, and the minors in general, Getz is already a better GM than Hahn. The problem is Getz seems to be perfectly willing to waste money on pointless players as he keeps turning over an awful roster, so I don't have a lot of hope. A perfect example is wasting a one year deal on Shaw. That $1.5 million could have fed minor leaguers, hired scouts, and/or more modern development programming.

At this point, TA is all talk. Of course he's hurt the Sox let him go. It already cost him $8 million. And extensions? That looks like it may have been worse than Benentendi. Not given him one seems pretty smart now. I used to just love this guy, but he really just needs to shut up at this point and look in the mirror. The team he is on now isn't doing very well either.

Just….wow

ROFL, Stone was right! Merrifield is a STUD! Even he can hit Crochet right now.

You're nuts. He's throwing 200 innings this season. NO LIMITS!!!

Not a fan. He's a worse homer than Hawk when the Sox were winning. He actually mentioned that it's still very early in the season so this Sox team could turn it around!!!

Or wound up trapped in the netting…or got himself hung up on the outfield wall…

I think the idea that this "tank" is intentional is laughable. This is a horrible organization for talent, probably the worst in baseball from top to bottom. All of this process is doing is buying time until we can get some talent to Chicago. Right now, this team could have been the biggest spenders in all of baseball in free agency and still not sniffed .500.

I think the gameplan was pretty apparent. Sign the has-beens to take up some space while you wait for your younger talent to develop and hope 1 or 2 of those hasbeens can be flipped at the deadline for literally anything. There was no intention to compete this year, and that's not really on Getz.

You trying to get westeddy banned?

We understood that, and it's hard to win when you don't have the right guys to go out and compete – you know what I mean? And you want to win," Anderson said. "The last year that I spent there was tough, and you know, to finally be able to make it through again on the other side, you know, I'm happy, in a great place, you know, my smile's back – and I'm back on my dream." Miami manager Skip Schumaker said everything he was told about Anderson has been “spot on.” “There’s people that you trust in the baseball world, and they were exactly right on his work ethic, how he impacts his teammates,” Schumaker said. “He’s been out for early work. He’s been on an early bus. He’s been the first guy in the clubhouse at home. ... It’s been great.”

His injuries do significantly diminish his value.

Lee has put in alot of work and IMO he has really improved himself this year. He should be starting over Maldonado right now.
