at this point in time, do the Sox have any position players that have played the whole year with an ops over .700?

This just confirms what we already knew. Seems like there is no hope until there is new ownership. Again, I wonder if a new owner will keep the team in Chicago. Jerry is doing a great job of alienating the fanbase.

Typical Bears s%*#....the more things change, the more they stay the same.

Lol

I'm in my late 30s and I question whether I'd live to see the Sox be good again.

Probably not. This is going to take roughly a decade to dig out of, and that's once Getz gets fired. We're probably looking at a 90s/00s Pirates length of irrelevance and badness.

delete, wrong thread.

Given where they're at and Getz's "eye for talent" it's certainly possible.

Oh dear god, that is terrible.

You can win with Jerry's financial limitations if you do it right.

I was thinking exactly this. The biggest problem with the Sox over the last 12 months has been Getz.

Lmfao

Yeah I got so depressed that I can't even follow the minors because those guys will just be trade bait. I feel like I could follow if there was a small group of promising young players but there isn't anything outside of Schultz and Hagens and nothing on the position player side. Every team has a Thorpe and Iriarte.

I don't blame you. I tried to find a different hockey team but I like the sport too much and couldn't get emotionally invested in another team. If the Sox moved I'd probably just quit baseball.

Blackhawks aren't making it.

It's the latter.

Yeah this is where we're at. It's pretty bleak to the point where idgaf if they move anymore. We're looking at at least 7-10 years to get out of this, unless there is new ownership and they actually start acting like a big market club. That being said, it could easily take 20 years to recover from this.

Is there any hope that JR will fire Getz or are we going to have to wait 5 seasons?
