Yesterday at 12:13 AM1 day I guess no one has noticed the farm is empty. One or 2 players doesn't make a great farm system.It would be nice to have a revolving door of talent. Not many teams do.We might see short term success and long term failure as usual. Not spending money will bring us back to not having nice things.They are not the Brewers.

Not spending money will bring us back to not having nice things.They are not the Brewers.But why is it that the Sox consistently have a 2nd tier farm (except when it's temporarily inflated from trades?). I don't think the drafting has been particularly impressive, but I'm in the deep minority with that position. I think evaluation is really hard and mostly inaccurate ( much more so than NFL), so you really need the quantity. And the international for sure has been wanting.And Hostetler is still around....Anyway, Getz might need the Doug Collins treatment. He's really spit the bit the last 2 months.

They still win, Winning is a habit. So is losing.

21 hours ago21 hr There needs to be a sliding scale. Getz’s moves for guys like Vargas, Kay, Fedde, Newcomb, etc. should be praised, but he should also eat s%*# for the worst trades in trade deadline history.As injury-prone as Robert is and was, all you got for him was a backup utility buster? Still amazing. Edited 21 hours ago21 hr by WhiteSox2023
