December 5, 20169 yr QUOTE (Ro Da Don @ Dec 4, 2016 -> 07:17 PM) Cause they know their prospect depth and talent is going to lead to lots of future success... It's because our front office is too scared to risk their career on anything other than a sure thing. They keep their jobs through more mediocre seasons unless they trade fan favorite Sale and make poor prospect evaluations and get a bunch of busts back. Edited December 5, 20169 yr by soxforlife05

They keep their jobs with mediocre seasons, why threaten them with a risky rebuild unless it involves "sure things". Aggravating considering Hahn and co are a lot better at evaluating minor league talent than major league talent. Edited December 5, 20169 yr by GreenSox

But in fairness, let's at least give them a week to see how determined they are to "rebuild".

He's a master contract negotiator, which makes your players super valuable, but there is no evidence to suggest this FO can draft fielding talent. Edited December 5, 20169 yr by Deadpool

December 5, 20169 yr QUOTE (Dunt @ Dec 5, 2016 -> 11:15 AM) That Tim Anderson kid looks pretty decent At this rate, they'll have drafted a decent team in 80 years. I get what you're saying, but the White Sox positional drafting has been terrible for a long time.
