Very sad to hear this. I always enjoyed reading Alex’s posts and getting to interact with him back in the early days of Soxtalk. He always brought great insight and was a great guy. Rest in peace.

I would say I'm surprised, but sadly, I'm not. Another disaster in a long line of White Sox disasters.

Hahn just said they want a manager with recent championship level experience. Hinch ...

You will be greatly missed, Farmio.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Dec 7, 2016 -> 05:39 PM) Like literally as miserable as it could get. Exactly. We were sold that this team was "retooling" every damn year when basically the ship was continuing to take on water the entire time without a competent captain. At some point, you have to blow it up.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Dec 7, 2016 -> 05:34 PM) This is going to be a miserable few years. And now I don't even see a light at the end of the tunnel. Apparently we didn't learn the lesson that you need get who can hit and catch the ball. The last few years have been miserable, so basically nothing new. At least I'll no longer feel like I'm watching a product that is stuck in quick sand.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Dec 7, 2016 -> 05:32 PM) I like the rebuild but can I just say there will be no jubilation come April when they can't even sell out Opening Day? When we get into the thick of its it's going to get scary ugly. Those who pay close attention in the winter make a fanbase not. Not exactly like fans were showing up in droves last season. Sox were 26th in attendance. Only a few spots from the bottom.

!!!!!!!! That's all I can come up with to describe this haul. !!!!!!!!

QUOTE (shipps @ Dec 6, 2016 -> 04:40 PM) God I love this. He barely edged out Cliff Politte.

Thanks for the contributions, Chris. You were my seventh favorite White Sox pitcher behind Mark Buehrle, Jon Garland, Jose Contreras, Freddy Garcia, El Duque and Bobby Jenks.

Good luck to Chris, but time to move on.

QUOTE (Deadpool @ Dec 6, 2016 -> 01:50 PM) I would have asked for a multi-team deal where the White Sox get Trout, Harper, and Moncada. I would have asked for Mantle, Ruth and Koufax.

So the White Sox trade for the best prospect in all of baseball and people are still complaining ... lol

QUOTE (Knuckles @ Dec 6, 2016 -> 01:40 PM) Someone break down the other prospects in the deal PLZ Text from a friend: Basabe Venezuelan CF played high a last season. Hit .258 with 25 steals 50 some rbis. He is 20 Diaz 22 year old Dominican pitcher. Reliever who averaged a strikeout per inning in low a, but walks too many

I like the deal at first glance. The White Sox needed a tear down. This is the start.

According to this list, prospects acquired are No. 1, 5, 8 and 28 in Red Sox system: http://m.mlb.com/prospects/2016?list=bos

‏@Ken_Rosenthal BREAKING: Sale to #RedSox. Moncada, Kopech and two other prospects to #WhiteSox.

QUOTE (ChiliIrishHammock24 @ Dec 6, 2016 -> 01:15 AM) For those suddenly freaking out over 2 year old scouting grades on Robles....here is a recent one from MLB Pipeline... "Scouting grades: Hit: 60 | Power: 45 | Run: 70 | Arm: 65 | Field: 60 | Overall: 60" They rank him the 10th best prospect in all of baseball. Giolito is 3rd best. And Baseball America had Giolito No. 4 overall in baseball last year midseason and Robles No. 13. http://www.baseballamerica.com/minors/mids...juv8EojevuUo.97

Good riddance. Never liked the contract extension from day one. He's been stealing money for years.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Dec 16, 2015 -> 12:43 PM) good seeing you around Aboz I still lurk, just rarely post. Good seeing you as well!

Why is everyone sweating Thompson? He played well late last season in meaningless games. Sox sold high.
