I've learned not to be that way since eventually I'm that same stupid driver I've rant about. You reap what you sow.

On the other side of things despite this incident Sox fans seem to honor former players giving them a standing O. Didn't that happen with TA? I still remember them giving Alexei a standing O.

there is something very toxic about this organization they we will probably never really know. Of course there was Omar V. incident. This place is not attractive to free agents unless it's ones many teams pass on. So I would think this organization has a tarnished reputation and who knows how long that will last.

I'm more sad than angry how many of these Sox players turned out. There has to be a deep morale issue when you've seen these guys like Robert, TA just phase out. Sure there are injuries but going elsewhere seems to be uplifting. Imagine what it was like for Vargas last year going from the Dodgers to the Sox. The reality is most player don't like to get traded. How many of you had a job transfer that you didn't put in for?

It's everywhere. I once had an email discussion with a writer from the Baltimore Sun who took a lot of flack for comparing Peyton Manning to Johnny Unitas.

I read a post on FB that said he shouldn't have been bothered by it. The reality is these athletes are young adults. Having a mother pass away is not easy no matter the age.

I've walked in those trenches for a long time. Not as baseless as you think. But you did point out that double standard I wrote. Thumbs up to you1

Can play for the White Sox is all I can think of.

Nope. He was a waste product of public education and derelict parenting. He probably said things just a bad as a kid, got sent to the office and got a bag of chips or a sucker as well. We don't often go as low as that but look how we ridicule or are hateful to a player because of his performance.

DBacks failed to sweep the 2 worst teams in baseball.

like having the s%*# beat out of him.....might go a long way

Ray Rayner - too bad they didn't archive those shows

wait till next year.......no it wont get better, could be even worse at the make Birmingham better trade deadline

They'll probably trade him

with so many busts how does one determine which one is massive he was no Ketel Marte

You have him confused with Reinsdorf

they even do that with prospects

Yes No way of knowing Tatis would be the same player if he were a Sox. Hopefully they have learned to never trade with Oakland

You musta fished that out of JR's trash

who are we kidding here..........the signings will be late March dumpster dives Have we really lost our grip of reality?

let the trade frenzy begin stock that farm - whatever that means

I have no clue how any other GM would operate under Reinsdorf. I doubt any of them really would want the job. But the reality is most organizations would have fired Getz as farm director. Let's not forget he was also a big voice in the Grifol hire and now you know why it took that long to fire him.

other GM, "Can't wait to fleece that guy". They'll try to 3 team trade where the s%*# team always get burned. It's almost like bullying.

Hindsight and opposing GMs talk the talk but then they stop and think about it. I don't hold it against them for taking this risk. It's not like they are the only team that has done this. He would've been traded but the sad reality is a poor farm system and no suitable replacement. Imagine they have this lifetime hole in CF. I do wonder how this organization can produce players that turn into basket cases. In my perfect world there would need to be an owner to by the whole organization and have people in place, fire all of the former people but have them interview for their job. I have no idea how Ishba would repair this organization but he has to starting thinking about it. Who knows how long it will take to repair the damage, The one thing that needs to go is the former player syndrome. The people that were employed as coaches or office is just a reminder of mediocrity. You have to put in people from winning organizations. That's means no Getz with his Royal envy. I'm starting to think Robert is beyond repair. If I think that what is stopping a real GM of thinking the same thing. It will be adding another non prospect this organization is so great at creating.

Good luck with that. It's the opposite and the only purpose to "revive their careers" is to make Birmingham better. Then those revived players hope to get traded to a team playing meaningful baseball. Imagine if one works out and the Sox offer like a 2 year contract? I can't imagine that.
