Again, bad isn't the same as a teardown. The closest we have come in my life time to this is the White Flag trade which was 1997, but that didn't involve everyone going out there door, just guys close to free agency. Albert Belle, Frank Thomas, and Robin Ventura all stuck around.

I am going to guess ASAP.

Bad isn't the same as a teardown.

Off of the top of my head, I wouldn't call them the same thing. I don't remember there being a lot of trades and a formalized commitment to being bad for a period of time to start over again.

I am over 40 and had never seen a full teardown and rebuild in my lifetime. I'm not even entertaining the idea of a full teardown and rebuild. ^ Me in 2015.

Not a big surprise after hearing what Hahn has been saying for months, but still nice to see it out in public now.

Shoulder problems are a huge red flag for me.

There is zero incentive for Hahn to hunt at chasing a big name FA if they have no intention of doing it full out. It is going to raise expectations and piss off the more offendable in the fan base if they fail, or even worse if they do it halfway.

Dropped hints about chasing a top notch FA this winter. Cease is on a schedule of Kopech, but a year behind. If he had higher innings totals, he'd probably have been up most of next year. Talked about adding starting and relieving help short term this winter. Praised Shields work with the kids. Everything on schedule with Kopech. Sounds like all coaches will be back.

This was a must listen. Lots of good stuff there.

Who the F tweets at a professional athlete to b**** at him about his velocity 15 months after TJS? Come on people.

Yes. Next obvious question?

If that is what you read into that, sure. We want an echo chamber.

The point WAS we were trying to give some freedom to discuss issues without a formal board, but if people can't handle that and feel the need to threaten people we can revisit the policy again. This post is exactly what we are trying to get rid of.

All of this. Not to mention you are compared a CF to a guy who already regulated to 1B in the lowest levels of the minors, versus a CF.

Cubs fans were already starting to talk about firing people at about year 2 or 3.

Looks like the Indians run might be coming to an end. I wonder if the Sox pay attention and see if they can push things up a year?

We just did it with Dylan Covey, didn't we?

Everything I see seems to take the worst possible outcome of every possible item. Just seems like a waste of being a fan if you are pissed off about everything all of the time.

If you don't want to pick up some decency from the world around you, I can't force you to do so. Stereotype away.

THOSE ARE OUR COLORS!!! IT IS HAPPENING!@!!!
