You guys are the ones attacking people with differing opinions. Not everybody in Chicago is on board with the tank job. Of course most fans simply don't care as the White Sox become less and less relevant. At least we anti-tank people care.

How can you say they are wrong in wanting Gio in the minors instead of failing miserably in the majors? Their position is reasonable.

You guys don't understand that we do understand. However we disagree with everything tanking stands for. It is an insult trying to lose just to get a fricking top 3 draft pick in baseball, the one sport in which tons of top draft picks fail or are nothing special. We do understand fully what's going on. I personally think it's sick and sad. Guess what? It's a reasonable position to say Gio and his 7.00 ERA could or should be in the minors figuring things out instead of learning in the bigs and taking his lumps. Young Sox pitchers are walking way too many batters. Partly the umps and their refusal to call the strike zone is to blame. But if a fan thinks Gio doesn't need to be stinking up the majors right now, that is a reasonable position even if you disagree and simply cry "REBUILD!"

Finally. A Greg-like post. You'd think I wrote it.

Of course wait. Always wait. Wait til next year. And next year ...

I had nothing against your post.

Kudos to them. Why the anger? The articles I read mentioned nobody but the Seals.

Keep me posted. I did not know other countries sent experts. That is what I desire(d). Cool. I want experts to save those kids and coach.

Good article but I don't respect KW for lying. At least admit the losses are not only acceptable, but desired. Glad the article had a negative tone about the rebuild at least.

I said I like him a lot, but he has little to no trade value. He's a proud White Sox but he is just another guy. To be clear, I love the guy.

Why is Covey pulling a Humber? Excellent then horrific?

And Bill Veeck arguably is THE greatest owner in baseball history. What a special man.

Phil Humber II.

It is sad that on this great day you google Second Civil War and it's all over the internets. Sad that we are talking about brutally vaporizing each other in this great land.

Guys, Palka has 10 home runs. Think of all the busts we've had the last many seasons. Horrible failures. Well, we are due for a diamond in the rough. A surprise stud. This Palka guy needs to play 6 days a week and see if he can blast 40 home runs. Anybody not excited about his potential needs to seek professional help. Let.Him.Play.

The world has a chance to unite. I don't know why USA, Russia, China don't send some experts to the site of this cave to get these kids out. I worry that at any moment some change in the rock or the water will cause tragedy here. Can't the world come together? These kids could be rescued if everbody comes together and somebody figures the right way to get them out! I pray they get out of the cave. This is horrifying potentially. I'm glad the Seals are there helping, but shouldn't all countries band together and get them out NOW?!

Somebody told me they were listening to Alex Jones and he is preparing for a second Civil War in the USA. I say no way. There will be no Civil War. People are behaving very badly toward each other but it won't come to War. Do you have a take?

Folks, you are only getting scraps for Yolmer. He's just another guy. That said, I do respect him and even worship him at times as a member of the Sox. But he's just another guy on a horrid team if that makes any sense. Greg gives Yolmer an A. Baseball yawns and says, "Why the hell do you think we need Yolmer?"

I haven't really fallen for any players who completely suck as the thread is titled. Unless you guys consider Avi, Abreu, Dye, Ozzie, Jenks worthless and I know you don't think that. Usually the player has to have good value for me to have fondness for the player. I guess Dwyane Wise might classify but I mainly was just supporting him cause so many on here hated him and I was thankful for The Catch and several clutch hits he delivered. But I guess it'd be Wise because he was not even a .200 hitter.

Not according to all the stats I've been reading about him. Those clamoring to trade him I guess are willing to get scraps back considering the negative numbers from the stat people re. Avi

I love how nobody addresses the fact (because of all the flaws you point out) he's going to be so affordable when he becomes a free agent. The fans who only want young players and to win a WS with a 60 million dollar payroll won't tell me what Avi is going to be worth on the market. Judging from all the stats the Avi naysayers are pointing out, he'll be worth 8-12 million a year for 4 years. You guys don't even want to pay that? LOL. You'd think all of you are investors and sharing in all the $$$$ with Jerry. Nobody wants to spend his money except for more unknown signees from overseas and in the draft. Tell me Avi-disbelievers, what type of contract is going to be so unaffordable regarding Avi? What do you think he's going to be paid considering all the negatives you all point out stat wise?

Avi

I won't doubt him. He is a stud. My biggest complaint is the tank/rebuild people don't seem to want ANY current White Sox who have been around a while on our WS teams. I contend Avi and Abreu will be perfect veterans on the WS teams. Also I feel the trade/tank people for some odd reason don't want to pay any players ... ever. Cause even they admit Moncada and Eloy and guys like that will walk when it's time for them to get paid. In conclusion ... the rebuilders don't want any old guys on the WS teams and they certainly don't want to pay Avi or Abreu real money. Very bizarre behavior IMO.

Benetti has talent. He's a good announcer.

Stoney is so good. He just said Riggleman is costing the fans the fireworks show with the midnight deadline. That DP might help the fireworks show.
