    If Menechino is our hitting coach coming out of the break, then this organization has reached new levels of incompetentence.

    Win today. Enter the All-Star break at .500 and three games out of the division lead. Remove Tony as manager and give him some BS front office role. Fire Menechino and give Chris Johnson a shot as hitting coach. That’s the dream for the next three or four days.

    Let me ask you this, what were our needs coming into the off-season?

    Perfect timing with this tweet:

    You want us to give Hahn credit for paying top of the market prices for two relievers and one of them actually working out? You want us to give Hahn credit for signing Cueto when few other options existed at the time and despite the fact he prioritized VV over him as their only pitching depth to begin with? Under no circumstance does the dude deserve a B- for this his work. His best move this off-season (if you even include it) was one made out of desperation because he failed to address a critical need. And while you blame the core for our struggles, many here called out the need to continue adding to it rather than just supplementing around the margins. Rick Hahn failed us this off-season. I’d give him a C- coming into the season and a legit F with the benefit of hindsight.

    The Cubs don’t matter until Reinsdorf is gone. The real priority is getting a quality owner to replace him when the time comes and not some group led by his boob of a son.

    You continue to move the goalposts. The question is how do you grade the off-season, not who is most responsible for the shitty results this year.
  22. Chicago White Sox
    Do you remember the last two off-seasons?

    Cueto has not been as good as Guasman, that’s just a laughable statement. As for Schwarber, there was definitely people salivating for him. My man @fathom was all for signing him amongst others. I’ll admit I didn’t push hard for him, but I held out hope for Conforto until it became public about his injury.

    On the pitching side of things, my point is the Sox should have pursued a high-end SP and one that would be under control for multiple years given the lack of pitching in the minors. I assumed when they passed on QOing Rodon, they had another free agent SP in mind for his spot. Instead, they decided to roll the dice on a broken down Keuchel and a lottery ticket in Velesquez. Guasman around 5/$110M just made so much sense for us all things considered. As for Schwarber, he was far from a perfect fit, but given the lack of power, OBP, and LH bats in the lineup he would’ve addressed multiple needs offensively. I get we have other 1B/LF/DH types, but that’s on Hahn to find a way to solve if he’s unable to add a LH bat elsewhere. Going into a championship caliber season and not adding some sort of LH power bat was a significant failure. We could all see this lineup’s struggles against RHP coming, even if not to this extent.

    Gausmsn and Schwarber look like absolute steals right now. Had I known that Conforto was injured, I would have pushed harder for signing Kyle despite the imperfect. Power and better lineup balance were both critical needs and ones that Hahn failed to address. Didn’t have to play at the very top of the market to find ways to improve this roster. And just to lay it all out, Hahn spent ~$40M this off-season on new additions and so far has only gotten 0.6 fWAR to show for it. Adding Cueto makes it look a little bit better, but he wasn’t part of the original off-season plan. I don’t know how anyone can say with a straight face that Hahn did not completely fail to improve this team.
