He seems very panicky. Spot on. Who knows if he will be a big loss or not but it sure is obvious he could’ve cut another player off the 40-man before Rodriguez. He kept Josimar Cousin at that time and just ending up cutting him too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falstaff Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 Leasure, Nastrini, and Cannon bring back memories of Bart Johnson, Terry Forster, and Goose Gossage, young guns with live arms. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stiever pitched 1 full season in his entire career for Christ sake. Stiever is a crap comparison, but Lynch and Honeywell were as highly if not more highly rated than Thorpe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcq Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 Recalling September 1970 when I became a fan. Stu Holcomb and Roland Hemond took over a team 50 games under .500. , by 1972 they were 20 games over ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stu Holcomb and Roland Hemond took over a team 50 games under .500. , by 1972 they were 20 games over ! Holcomb had little to do with this, it was all Roland. All Holcomb did was destroy it a few years later: July 27, 1973 - Sox vice president Stu Holcomb ‘retired’ under pressure after his hard-line approach on salaries destroyed the 1973 White Sox. When players wouldn’t come to terms with his initial offer, Holcomb ordered, then player personnel director Roland Hemond, to release them. Not try to compromise with them or try to trade them to get something back... but release them. The Sox gave away Jay Johnstone, Ed Spiezio, Mike Andrews and Rick Reichardt. When Holcomb ordered Hemond to release 21-game winner Stan Bahnsen, Hemond and manager Chuck Tanner went to owner John Allyn. Hemond and Tanner threatened to quit if something wasn’t done. Allyn sided with the duo and Holcomb was history bringing some stability to the front office although the damage was already done. When the Sox suffered injury after injury that year, using the disabled list 38 times, there was little depth to try to fill the gaping holes. They’d end the season in fifth place at 77-85 after leading the division in late May. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All you have to do is look at the recent White Sox rosters to see that no prospect - even "safe" ones - is immune from busting. common occurence when yo have the worst player dfvelpement staff in MLB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
