Already I'm reading elsewhere that its hard to get excited about Schultz. Some people think if he's successful he'll be moved off the team after his 3rd or 4th year for prospects. There's no way JR will sign him long term. If the new owner comes in he might sign him.

He has played 1 game.

If you won’t allow yourself to get excited about Schultz because of those reasons, I truly don’t understand the point of following the Sox at all right now.

Can’t just send him down - out of options - or I imagine they would have already. He’s been bad.

At this point let Acuna get 400+ at bats and see what he is OR what is not. It really doesn't matter because he is not holding anyone else back from the minors. As of now he looks to be nothing but let it play out........You have nothing else to do because you aren't winning crap.

I expect if he does get 400+ AB he'll be one of the worst players in MLB and it's frustrating in year 3 of this "rebuild" to still be trying to find a decent big league outfielder.

Don’t hate me, but I think a little more patience is due. I know it’s been a while now, but this hasn’t been a typical rebuild in the sense it’s a complete organizational overhaul. He’s doing what most of us were clamoring for, and that unfortunately takes a lot of time.

Reinsdorf can go f*** himself though.

Lukkake- I understand your perspective but don't subscribe to it. You can't keep losing 100+ games a year and ask for patience. At some point you need to see some moves that excite you. Unfortunately he's not really done well with what he has acquired in trades........for this to work he has to hit on a majority of his trades and some unexpected player signings....

Dylan Cease Trade- Not many positives to this point

Garrett Crochet Trade- TBD

Luis Robert Trade- We got a 5'7 guy who can't hit

Outside of Shane Smith for a maybe a year (now in minors) what other guy has he hit on through the acquisition process?

Being this shitty year in and year out you are going to back into some high draft picks that may be decent but if you can't put good trades together or acquire talent through FA signings, Rule 5, or other ways then this will never work.

I mean, he probably plays a better OF than Antonacci at this moment (which isn't saying much)

I thought acuna would be a good defender in center, and while I haven't completely moved off that position, my confidence has dropped a ton. He's been horrible out there and im not sure it's all reps.

"The team is regressing"

I just pulled up a random lineup from not too long ago and its

1. Robbie Grossman

2. Andrew Vaughn

3. Gavin Sheets

4. Eloy Jimenez

5. Benintendi

6. Korey Lee

7. Bryan Ramos

8. Nicky Lopez

9. Braden Shewmake

Out of these guys, who would make the current lineup?

The White Sox are last in baseball in every meaningful offensive category.

"Hey guys we've gone from last to lesser last! Give me my due!"

It doesnt help that the Sox GM himself effectively said this about good players and assets. Modeling what the Rays and Brewers do.

It’s April 15 and no one thought the team was good 18 days ago or whenever they began the season. You think they will be last in every offensive category at the end of the season?

If a team is regressing and merits an organized “walkout” by the fans like some here are saying, I just figured they’d want more of the players from the good ol days before the regression.

Still 30th in all the power rankings.

🤷‍♂️ I guess I just don’t see the appeal of pretending they are worse than they are or acting like I’m shocked that a bad team is playing bad thru April 15.
