Sox Mount Rushmore of (Recent) Failure

Featured Replies

Before the excitement of a new season catches hold of us all, one last dunk in the dank smell of a losing locker room.

Who are you carving in the rock? 2020 - 2023

Tony, Tim, Moncada, Grandal

I'm limiting my picks to guys who wore a jersey.

Leury Lynn Kopech Keuchel Grifol Montoyo Benintendi Kelly

Eaton - Represents the failure to find a RF

Leury - Represents the failure to find a 2B along with some other dumb stuff 

Kopech - Represents the flaming out of hyped prospects 

TLR - Yeah

Edited by Snopek

TLR - Obvious

Jerry - Kneecapped everything

Hahn - Even with his budget, made bad moves

Getz - If we're grading 2020 - 2023, it would have been nice to have some player development!

Offering four management and four players in the current millennium.

Jerry is too cheap not to have worn this jersey at some point, if only as another layer of clothing to keep the thermostat low in the winter, assuming he didn't have a minion pawn it on eBay or a pawn shop first.

I'm also counting jackets, fleeces and other licensed merchandise.

Jerry

Bruce Levine looks like a senior citizen trying to stay warm in the Winter in a public library or hanging in a shopping mall McDonalds.

Rick Hahn

Tony La Russa - Though grateful for any role he played in the twilight of the long knives purge or Ken Hahn last Summer.

Triple Mt Rushmore

8 Sox

2 Trumps 2 Kushners

Larussa, Dunn, Moncada , and Reinsdorf

JR-Hahn-KW-Tony

 

Easy peasy. 

Might as well make the White Sox Mt Rushmore handsome, so I'll go with....

Nicky Delmonico, Nicky Delmonico, Yoan Moncada and Nicky Delmonico ***

It is better to look good, than to feel good.

***Nicky did play 6 games in 2020 so that counts

By the way, if we're doing players only:

Moncada, Keuchel, Eloy and Kimbrel

Moncada, Eloy, Kopech, & Grandal. All of the ills with this org start and stop with JR, but addressing only the failures in uniform, these four reached the highest peaks of disappointment.

Tough for me to put Keuchel on here when he did have an outstanding year in 2020 and ending top 5 in cy young.

Great thread btw. There are no wrong answers and the possibilities are endless.

Anderson, Moncada, Benintendi, Kopech

Kopech sitting out the COVID season still doesn't sit well with me.  It's not a COVID stance either there was just something off about that to me.

How recent are we talking here? Rebuild era and beyond?

And Moncada had a good 2021.

Keuchel has a good shortened season them imploded like a neutron star and became the worst vet presence possible.

It was a soft 2020 schedule. Who was the only good offensive team we faced? Minnesota? Kind of expected the implosion after.

All four Central opponents that year pretty similar on offense...248-269 runs scored, Sox best offense and CLE best pitching and defense.  White Sox 306.

Minnesota underperformed 2019 record setting homer performance.

And he was right on for everything he said. He saw it coming.

The Eloy head will probably pick up an injury.

Too bad that doesn't absolve him from sucking ass.

Sure. Not sure what one has to do with the other.

If there was a way to somehow represent the failed Friends & Family Plan attempt at Machado, that would be my etrant. I guess either one of Jon Jay, Yonder Alonso, or Machado works as well.
