God why

Ok, how long does a player need to be in the Sox organization for them to coach them?

And that's why the Sox are flush with talent and churn out great players like the Dodgers, Astros and Rays!

And yet, ReyLo spent 121 innings in Charlotte. And is very much a failed starter. Madrigal spent 1.5 years in the system and while he hit, his defense and durability began to get called into question - which were exactly what plagued him in the majors. As others mentioned, Eloy literally wrote an article about being ready to debut and was in the system for a year +. This is just absolving them of responsibility. Omar Narvaez and Marcus Semien were in the majors and became competent-to-good defenders after leaving the Sox after having iron gloves here.

Yeah, while all of the guys I listed wore Sox minor league jerseys, they carried problems (or regressed) in White Sox jerseys.

Who the f*** else was coaching them?

Let me brush off my We Didn't Start The Fire keyboard. I'm going year-by-year down, so this will seem like a strange order. Yoan Moncada - Below expectations, but an above average major leaguer when healthy Lucas Giolito - Good Michael Kopech - Failure Reynaldo Lopez - Failure. EDIT: As a starter Carson Fulmer - Failure Zack Collins - Failure Zack Burdi - Failure Luis Basabe - Failure Alec Hansen - Disastrous failure Dane Dunning - Good Spencer Adams - Failure Micker Adolfo - Failure Eloy Jimenez - Failure Luis Robert - Good Dylan Cease - Good Blake Rutherford - Failure Jake Burger - Good Ian Clarkin - Failure Luis Gonzalez - Failure Nick Madrigal - Failure Bryce Bush - Failure DJ Gladney - Failure Jonathan Stiever - Failure Matthew Thompson - Failure Andrew Dalquist - Failure Jimmy Lambert - Failure James Beard - Failure Benyamin Bailey - Failure James Beard - Failure Codi Heuer - Good Jared Kelly - TBD, but so far, failure Yoelqui Cespedes - Failure Norge Vera - TBD, but so far, failure Seby Zavala - Good for what he was Gavin Sheets - For what he is, good Andrew Vaughn - 50/50, not looking good Bryan Ramos - Looking positive Lenyn Sosa - I like him, but others don't Oscar Colas - Pedro hates him Carlos Perez - Failure at this point due to defense Jose Rodriguez - TBD, but if he were further along he'd be knocking on the 2B door Colson Montgomery - May be the crown jewel Wes Kath - Failure Romy Gonzalez - Good Sean Burke - TBD, not looking good At this point, it's not worth highlighting anymore because they're all TBDs. Obviously no one would have a 100% hit rate, but unless the prospect had otherwordly talent (Robert, Moncada, Cease, etc.) or drive (Burger), Getz did damn near nothing with them.

Cause the guy in charge of developing players from the last rebuild is now running the entire show with a bunch of people taken from one of the franchises that is just as horrendous + Brian Bannister and Josh Barfield.

Basabe being filler is definite retrospect.

You dare besmirch Chris Flexen???

I think everyone would be absolutely ecstatic with Thorpe as the #2 piece. It's him as the headliner that's making everyone go ?

For the record, this take is good

About 6+ years after they leave the Royals

Dude, shut the f*** up

Does it give you pause that after the news broke you sprinted here to try and get your rocks off?

I will go to my grave believing that a different, competent org takes a core of TA, Abreu, Robert, Moncada, Kopech, Giolito, ReyLo, Dunning, Eloy, Cease and Rodon (I know he was mostly rehabbing, but boy did he have a great single year) and actually does something with it.

For what it's worth, that site is ass

The fact that a 29-year-old reliever who walks 4 batters per 9 innings and rocked a 3.91 ERA last year was part of this deal... This was Getz's wheeling and dealing?

I can feel the judgement coming from Baltimore.

Furiously looking at Padres prospects after a summer of O's, Yankees, Mets and Rangers.

Buy guys who will always have association with the Sox. An Abreu jersey is timeless. The end was rough, but a TA jersey will age well. Robert is risky but more than likely will be a safe bet.

Oh my God it had to be the Padres. This is either gonna make things come full circle or cause the Tatis Curse to go into overdrive

Chris Getz trying to decide who to roster:

What about the ogre emoji ?

Tbf 30% of those are Sports Guy and Co. telling us that we're morons
