Two often repeated statements/ arguments on this board that now seem silly:

Horrible memories, lol.  Was there truly anyone that didn’t think the Sox would wind up with Machado after they acquired Alonso and Jay?  The majority wanted Harper but Sox fans were just so excited about adding a star player that people didn’t really care which one the Sox winded up with.

Yeah, it seemed like that was a prerequisite of a Manny signing. Or not. When Jay said publicly that Manny should take the best offer, or something like that, he was dead to me.

You're already awake .You make more game threads and White Sox winners threads than anyone. You know you enjoy a win when the kids contribute and even wins when  there is competency shown in multiple areas. Youre not a Sith or a Jedi . , but you're closer to being a Jedi than a Sith. 

Funny. I wrote almost the same first two sentences, then deleted.

Haha, I remember that.  It was at that moment that I realized that Machado just played Hahn to make his buddies some extra money.

I was complimenting him. Anyone can be a curmudgeon with this team and ownership and we all have been . 

I hope for all the young Sox fans out there that if the Ishbias ownership comes to pass it ushers in a new era of White Sox baseball that has never been witnessed before like actually making the playoffs often without the need to rebuild .

I'll settle for making the playoffs two years in a row without a weird Covid year.

WSI had Dark Clouds and Pollyannas.  SoxTalk has the Sith and the Jedi.  🤣

Gotta keep it simple I suppose. Though it is weird that the "Jedi" apparently believe in Emperor Jerry.

I did a quick positive vs negative WAR from trades and free agents for Hahn and he was remarkably close to 0.0 WAR factoring in every move I looked at. It was by no means exhaustive and I'm sure I missed a few players, but that level of incompetence is almost laudable.

That is really bad….lol

It probably had a lot to due with the age of the vets he was acquiring.  One of Hahn’s few good free agent pickups that we already discussed was James McCann, but he was still relatively young (28) when Hahn signed him.  But still, it’s amazing that any GM could be that unlucky and never hit on at least a few good veteran seasons on one-year deals.
