Looks like Murakami and Colson were fools gold. Braden is a disappointment. The jury is still out on Vargas. Tristan Peters has been a pleasant surprise but he may be having a career year. The pitching staff is a mess, but the younger guys may improve. If they don't add a significant amount of talent to the team in the offseason, I look for a regression next year. This is definitely not the core of a future championship team. Maybe the big prospects in the minors will turn out better in the next few years but White Sox history shows you can't count on that. As KW used to say, prospects are just suspects.

That is certainly possible since it appears a lot of these guys / team were playing over their heads this year.

But with the uncertain labor situation I don't think JR will allow a "significant" amount of talent to be acquired.
