What makes you the authority on the entire fan base anymore than someone else, after all this started with YOUR claim. Besides we could always poll the two ideas and see the responses.

TRUE White Sox fans are sick of the things causing the losses WAY more than they are the rest of it.

That's what everyone who gets turned down repeatedly.

OK Boomer.

Glad we are keeping all of the veterans who won't hurt us on defense instead of a rookie looking like he isn't ready and all.

Cool. Then run along.

I like how at one point you talk about these so-called "facts" you like to post, and then this is how you respond. And yes, Chris Getz is ruining my favorite baseball franchise, and I consider that really bad.

Bill VEEK huh?

Good lord get over yourself. No one is getting "excited" about Tommy Pham Eeyore

PHAM DOES YARD WORK!

Steve Stone just used the phrase "whack it around a little" in the booth. Granted he was talking about golf, but still.

Apparently Korey Lee leads MLB in catchers throw velocity at 86.4 MPH.

AAAAND Buxton is hurt.

While the power is still MIA, Vaughn is now pushing .300 over the last week and a half or so.

If the Score is upset about it, I almost have to like it.

If guys like Sosa don't get the chance to play through failure, they will never will succeed at the major league level. If guys like Sosa and Colas aren't mentally ready for the majors in a basic sense, maybe we should look at who oversaw the system when they were supposed to be learning how to be ready for the majors in terms of baseball IQ. If major league management can't teach these guys how to be major leaguers, maybe we should look at who is running the major league program. If a steady stream of minor leaguers isn't good enough to even serve as a potential pieces for the future, maybe we should look at the drafting and development people. You see how your excuses all have one common theme, right?

Ugh. There isn't a problem with roster filler at the major league level. There is a problem with losing future guys to sign those guys. Stopping dropping prospects every couple of days to sign another shitty journeyman who you are going to cut in a week anyway for a season that literally doesn't matter. And yes, allowing some of those AAA guys more than an AB at the major league level is an OK thing, even if they aren't good for a while.

I didn't say it was successful.

His arm is as good as any in the system, but he is further away from that ceiling. If the Sox were trading any of their dog water type players, a guy like Thompson would be a smart return in an attempt to capture more ceiling. The bigger problem is the short term thinking that leads to a guy like Thompson essentially being lost for nothing. That's just stupid as a team who is YEARS away.

Look I have no problem with the idea that you can deal Thompson if you using all of that internal knowledge, feel like you can't get out of him what you need to turn him into something. What I have a problem with is turning him into literally nothing. Nothing. Because you do need to be hording future pieces, and not 35 year old OFs.

Only a complete moron didn't know we were going to rebuild. They didn't say it out loud, but it is happening and always was. I can believe they were aiming more in the 90 loss range than the 140 loss range, and panicked once it happened, but they knew the future was not 2024.

All to get 35 year old veterans on the team so we can win 55 games instead of 50 this year, and still pick 10th.

It is a trade that takes place for a minimal amount of cash. Anything over one million dollars has to go to the commish's office for approval, so it is automatically less than that. Typically it is a very small amount just so that they can call it a "trade", maybe in the thousands, but as low as literally a dollar.
