Apples and oranges.

Other teams do this. Long term contracts are a higher risk these days with pitchers. The economics of reality hasn't reached MLB. Amazing the the salaries of a guy who performs every 5 days compared to a position player. You can move a position player around get make them useful but a pitcher....demoted to the pen making 25M...

I'm trying to figure out where "big league ready" was in that. The FL is fools gold since it's basically all levels of farm systems.

This is the formula practiced by the small market habitual losing teams. They stay that way ignoring their weakness at drafting and developing or unwilling to spend any money. The Sox are guilty on both accounts.

I'm still thinking of divorcing myself from the team. It's hard to do. The only victory I could accept is if Reinsdorf no longer owns the team.

That will be the requirement for minor league pitchers someday,

UNLESS you watch other teams

Copy and paste year after year

Not a fan of drafting a 1B not named Frank Thomas. Vaughn has no speed to play another position for swipe a base. It's the typical KW pick hoping offense will ignore the other weaknesses. Here's hoping Getz will make better picks instead of picks from other farm systems.

Maybe its roster filler so when they bring AAA player up they don't have to push AA players in.

So a guy who was in an organization the was just a terrible in drafting developing Well at least he is not a Royal......

Then there's TLR

For me it's a fear of never watching baseball. I'd hate to lose the love of the game. I don't watch the NFL anymore. Can't get into hockey anymore since it's not on TV anywhere. Ozzie was entertaining.

I'd be worried they do that with Reinsdorf and LaRussa so they can ruin a winning "culture".

How many of us fans can actually name 3 players on the Sox roster?

Not me. It gives me an opportunity to watch baseball and anybody but the White Sox. I guess for 2205 is #mark safe from watching White Sox baseball. With MLB online I could watch the players in the farm system.

His problem was trying too hard to be accepted.

small sample size against players not all in AAA I watched him play and didn't see "superstar" either or ML ready Nothing wrong with another season in Charlotte

Hopefully in a few years it's not another rinse and repeat. The biggest black hole is the ownership. Be giddy all you want over these prospects but development and scouting will be suspect. I guess you can be thrilled with Birmingham.

known as big trade league trade pieces

the next Moncada

Bill Billichick for Sox pitching coach.

You forgot about the GM doing the trading. It bodes hell for Sox fans

Replace the names with ???? and that's what they'll get or what they'll become.

The biggest myth in baseball. Best off reserving ideas for fantasy baseball. Even Getz could get fleeced in a fantasy league. For Sox fans they need to create a misery league along with other fans of habitual small market teams. Here's looking to a 130 loss season.
