What a shock, Kopech can't throw strikes. Over 50 pitches and not through 2 innings yet.
-
I'm a pretty hardcore Sox fan and I have stopped watching the games. I might check in on a game once and awhile but other than that I am just fed up with the entire organization. I am totally resigned to the fact that until there is new ownership and a new GM this will just continue to be a total clown show not worthy of my attention.

This team is nothing more than an investment to JR. An MLB team goes up in value no matter what it does on the field and he knows that as well as anyone. He won his WS. He has no desire to sink any more money in to this thing. As fans of this team we are screwed until a new owner takes over who hopefully wants to win more than anything.

There are a lot of teams in contention for playoff spots this year. There will be a huge demand for any kind of quality pitching. Giolito, Graveman, Lynn, Kelly could all bring a nice return. The big problem however is that RH would be negotiating the trades. You have to fire him within the next couple weeks and bring in Theo Epstein as the GM.
-
You have to make it known that TA is available to the top bidder. His head is so messed up right now with all the drama he has to have going on at home. I mean can you imagine the wrath he must be feeling right now from the wife? You know she is going to take him to the cleaners when she divorces his stupid a**. The guy threw away millions by sticking his **** in crazy. And now he is going to be paying child support on 3 kids for a long time.
-
This entire organization is garbage. They have to sell at the readline but the problem is Hahn is garbage and can't be trusted to negotiate anything. JR has to fire RH and hire Theo Epstein.
-
The book is out on Kopech. Make him throw strikes and he will beat himself with walks and a huge pitch count. He is at 86 through 4 tonight and will be lucky to finish the 5th. I would probably shop him at the deadline and see if you could get a contender to way over pay for him.

DFA Bummer.
-
Yes Lynn could bring a nice haul at the deadline. Teams like the Dodgers and Yankees will vastly overpay for a starting pitcher. If they had a competent GM that is.
-
No things have gone off the rail for him since his side piece came out saying she was pregnant with his kid. He has since admitted to the child being his and I'm guessing his wife has made his life a living hell since and he deserves it. Nothing can bring a man down harder or faster than woman problems.

You win with players that put winning above everything. You win with players who absolutely hate losing. You win with players who demand accountability from eachother. This team has very few of those players. It has way too many players who are consistently hurt or don't hustle 100% of the time or who don't do the little things that you need to do to win consistently. This has become a team full of players who have come to accept losing and that is the absolute worst. The only hope of future success is by tearing this thing down again but this time bringing in those type of winning players I mentioned. And in order to do that you need a new GM who has proven experience doing just that. That means letting go of RH now. Chicago is a huge market and there are more than a few very good GM's out there that would love to come and turn this thing around. JR has to open the check book and pay whatever and give total power to the next GM. Most everyone should be made available for trade. I would build around Cease, Kopech, Robert, Burger, and Vaughn. None of them are older than 27. Will any of this happen? Most likely not. But one can dream.
-
Hopefully someone will be stupid enough to trade for this tub of lard.
-
Moncada won't be hurt on the dance floor later with a Cuban hottie on each arm you can bet on that.
-
Changing the culture of this team begins with getting rid of players like Moncada. You need a team of players who winning is the most important thing. He got his money and he stopped really caring.
-
Watching the Yankee feed and their announcers were commenting how lackadaisical Moncada is. I'm so ready to move on from him.
-
Burger is what they call country strong. The guy is built like a truck. He really got himself in great shape. You have to get him in the lineup as much as possible. He gives 100% all the time. The Sox need more players with his attitude and love of the game. The sweep was great to see but I'm not getting sucked in to being optimistic about this team. The Tigers are an awful team. The next 22 games is their toughest stretch of the season. I predict no better than 7-15.
-
Lynn is the first guy you trade at the deadline. Teams are always looking and over paying for pitching. The guy is washed but some GM will think he has something left.
-
This team needs a near total rebuild. It starts with firing Hahn in the next couple weeks and bringing in a GM with a proven winning record with a winning organization. Then you basically start listening to trade offers on everyone. There is no untouchables if the return is right. The whole key is to get rid of Hahn and get someone who knows how to construct a winning team. Of course none of this will happen so F it!
-
I watch very few games anymore. Decided to watch today. This team is absolute garbage. We aren't even in to June yet and they are totally dead in the water. If it wasn't for KC this is a last place team. And hey, they still might be. As we all know the whole thing has to be burned down. And that can't happen until JR and RH are gone.
-
We aren't even out of April. This team will easily set the record for losses by a White Sox team.
-
This team will lose over 100 games this season. Were looking at another 4 to 5 year rebuild, and that only as a chance at being successful if the entire front office is replaced and JR sells the team.
-
Just wait to get Moncada back. For a week.
-
Sox will have to score 10 to win this. Kopech won't last more than 5.
