Yeah, I mean, I wouldn't take those odds, but between the scope of the "investigation" and the Democrats unwillingness to do whatever it takes to stop the nomination, I really think he gets in. I don't see how he doesn't with the way the deck is stacked.

Personally, I would bet on confirmation.

Copy. Paste.

if you look at the players, you will see there HAS been improvement. That was my point. That is also leaving out the Chris Sale's of the world who got us a good chunk of our top prospect lists.

Yet, Tim Anderson is here and starting at SS, fully drafted and developed by the White Sox. Yolmer Sanchez is here signed out of Latin America fully signed and developed by the White Sox, as were Adam Engel, and Kevan Smith. Out in the pen, Nate Jones, Ian Hamilton, Aaron Bummer, Hector Santiago, Jace Fry, In the rotation Carlos Rodon. That is without getting to guys the Sox identified as minor leaguers and brought into the system, finished and are contributing.

At the very least, there are people who need to walk away from their keyboards because they are irrationally angry.

Nice redirect.

Also very true.

Yep.

Give me one example of a better team in the 2nd year of a full rebuild.

A DH platoon seems like a waste of resources with as limited as bench sizes are in 2018.

Lmao, you are pissed off at the first ownership group in 50 years who was able to make a deal that kept the team in Chicago. The same type of deal that pretty much every single ownership group in professional sports has made over and over again... and you are STILL holding a grudge about it 30 years later. 30 years you have been pissed off about something that has happened a 100 times over AND ensured the White Sox would still be in Chicago for not only 30 years, but at least another 15 years. Quite literally what you want would mean no Chicago White Sox. You are quite literally mad that the White Sox are still here when you put together your irrational rantings combined with actual history. Even with hindsight shining that everything you are pissed off about is wrong, you can't give up the grudge you have held for 30 years. That is the very definition of nonsense. Stop calling yourself a fan.

It is a cautionary tale of exactly how much things change in a year looking at those lists.

What? If you listen to Soxtalk bad things didn't happen before JR took over.

If the Sox aren't giving these kinds of incentives, they aren't getting any of the top guys.

He even said ahead of this year that it would be the worst year of the rebuild. He was right. Go figure.

The Jetsons are free agents?

My guess is that the board pushed him to do it, maybe even threatening to remove him. The company knows that a very public trial would have been the worst possible thing.

Actually you were quite clear that he DOES suck, and not IF he sucks.

Yet they scored more runs then 6 other teams this year.

And this season is ova. On to a better 2019.

Probably more like $10m. Theoretically the biggest paycut he could get would be 20% or $5.36m thru the arb system.

The team's estimated worth was 1.5 billion dollars as of April. If he is really trying to say one GM cost the team more than the franchise is worth, well there is just no coming back from that mess.
