Seems like the rebuilds that failed were ones led by GMs who were already failing prior. Don't let RIck Hahn, Al Avila be your GM for a rebuild when they showed their ass already.

Honestly getting one player who enjoys playing baseball on this team is like a damn alien gets dropped on it. Billy forever. With 26 spots and new rules, no reason he can’t be player-manager-GM

Awesome

Wow no kidding. I know I looked it up but did we get any of his stuff described?

Yes, that was my me, praising the Sox front office by pointing out that Kim Ng making a shitty signing was because she started in the Sox front office.

I looked up Avis stats and, boy. You can tell Kim Ng came from the white Sox. Great signing.

Missed an opportunity to use “bark-to-bark” wins

I love that stadium

Schweitzer sharp so far

Oh, yeah he’s back. Active and on the 40.

I think he was on a bereavement leave

Eh. That guy lost 2 years to the immigration process. Not like he was struggling in lower minors. But yes he is a white Sox prospect so it is unlikely.

I did one tracking his free agent signings. It took so long not sure I have interest in updating 4 more years lol

8IP , 3 ER, 0 walks. Basically would be our Mariano Rivera.

The thing about ditching Ruiz, is yes he is bad. But bad was better than what we had in AAA. His arm is still good, and he’s been fine in AZ

Bro imagine being told this in 2019 how depressing that would be.

What do you think the other owners say about Reinsdorf paying like $23 million to have Dallas Keuchel and Jake Diekman and Leury Garcia $30+ Million to stay home and not be on his baseball team?

Congrats to Sammy Paralta though. While hittable, he is the last sox pitcher in the org who does not walk people.

I also don't understand how they aren't performing way more churn among minor league FA and waivers. It was so clear that so many of the Charlotte staff last year couldn't be on the AA team of the Rays. Actually I do understand - the org is incredibly lazy. I remember Hostetler bragging about how stupid the prospect writer lists were and how he'd lie to them...but is there any org that seems to toe the value of the top 100 guys mroe than the sox? We rarely trade them, and we all remember Hahn's brilliant trades to grab Casey Gillaspie and a declining Blake Rutherford. It was 100% because they were on the last prospect handbook he had.

I think the only thing more embarrassing that the sox so often grab near-retirement players off the scrap heap because they think they'll be better than the prospects they've built from their farm is that they are often right.

I feel like "fans that hand over their money regardless of product on the field" is not a description that applies to white sox fans.

I love that 2b anecdote because it's certainly something that happened in like 1993, caused reinsdorf to sabatoge his own team to bring the players back down to heel, then stopped paying attention for the next 30 years since the only thing he cared about was taken care of.

Just bring the goose back.
