You know what, he's never going to get another managing gig anyways so how about...."I have absolutely no talent here. These guys suck." Maybe the team will rally around that...and yes I know that won't happen.

You just got your wish:

In fact - they should alter the rules so we get the first two picks if we prove to be the worst team in history.

What # do we pick this draft?

Hate to get prehistoric here, but Mr. Cub of his day (before Ernie Banks), Phil Cavaretta, was player/manager, told Mr. Wrigley the same and wound up canned and on the White Sox, where he was welcome.

We could hope against hope it will incentivize the ownership to make comprehensive and structural changes rather than rely on a quick shiny object or two.

MLB considers the White Sox a "major market" team....unfortunately the Sox owner doesn't think that way.

This is not a major league level team in any way. The owner is playing his fiddle while Rome burns.

Out of the 9 position players who played Sunday, 8 of them has batting averages under .200.  Only Sheets at .255 was ahead of the Mendoza Line.

Dude it's his second start. Young pitcher let him go through this now...

Just asking since I don't watch the games. Have no opinion on the lad either way.

Because of how the Sox are categorized by MLB is the reason for the draft position situation.

It’s #10.  It doesn’t matter anyways.  It’s not like they can develop talent anyways.

#5 this year, 10th next year (2025)...that last one is based on the assumption they're STILL the worst team in baseball through the remainder of this season, otherwise it could fall back even more

Correct.  I was talking about the 2025 pick.  Regardless it doesn’t matter.  The guy that was the Director of Player Development and failed all of the recent highly rated prospects is now the GM so…
