That's a fair assessment. Hahn has strengths. He's a great negotiator in contracts and really seems be ahead of the curve on how they are evolving or at least was. He's strong as a dumpster diver for pitching and has done good work in the draft lately. That said his ability to find good staff and forge a holistic approach from top to bottom and bring in players that match that is objectively poor. Our coaching staff is a joke year after year. The trainers are a clown show. His record in FA is so bad you would think he'd get lucky once and while just from sheer randomness. But no. He's like zero for his tenure at bringing in both starting caliber players and depth moves. Overall he's a bottom third GM.

I do believe "spineless yes man" is on the job listing for Sox GM. It's only when Michael took over the day to day operations on the Bulls that Garpax was shitcanned and a real outsider and independent thinker in AK was brought in.

I hit it up before I left NYC about 10 years ago. It is an awesome stadium. At some point take a walk around the entire stadium as the "open concourse" remains one of the best I've experienced. I stayed at the Days Inn by the stadium and honestly I can't recall a single thing I ate other than a hot dog at the ball game. Have fun.

Hahn as hostage is such a weird trope. GMs resign or switch teams all the damn time. Hahn loves making money with no accountability, quite the hostage.

I think I'll become an active fan after JR dies or if Hahn is fired. Org needs a complete enema. Outside of a couple good trades that were necessitated by his own failure, Hahn has done nothing of note. We endured a tear down for this? Why is Lip back? Did they let him out of the old folks home at WSI?

inmates running the asylum.

joe kelly is a fucking loser just like this franchise.

busy at work, 4 hits, 2 runs, sounds about White Sox.

I've had shitty relationships and then there is Sox fandom.

Smart FOs never assume that on whole the squad will play to their projections. They work night and day to cover worst case scenarios because this is real life, not a projection. The Sox just assumed Eloy would put up 5 WAR, Moncada would stay healthy, Robert was a 7 WAR MVP and so on and on and on. Well guess what -- if they had planned for a scenario like this they'd still be in a great position. But, a failure to plan results in failure usually.

Sox will finish with 82 wins and the difference will be that they didn't bring in 2-3 WAR regulars at RF and 2B, like everybody fucking begged.

This is about the 10th time I've been sucked only to remember why this team is a fucking .500 outfit.

we can't be happy with any splits right now. we need to win every series.

Giolito's stuff is mediocre AF.

Vaughn's true talent level just keeps looking closer and closer to 1.5 WAR. He Schwarber 2.0

Andrus actually has more fWAR than half our position players this year.

he's also a positive WAR player, Leury is a sunk cost and any move that doesn't recognize that is flawed. Not saying you weren't, just wanted to emphasize that Leury's salary and roster spot shouldn't be a concern here. I'd actually consider cutting Leury once Andrus is signed and TA is back.

hit it in the fucking air!

lol bunting at yoan. that's one thing he's got down is defense. if only he was so cocky at the plate.
