Kenny says no money left, not even to add a utility guy. This is your team Sox fans.

What happened to the money that he claimed became available when he traded Quentin?

Spent on Adam Dunn.

Have the Sox acquired a major league player this offseason?

As far as the 40-man roster, they've basically traded:

 

Buehrle, Vizquel, Pierre, Castro, Santos, Quentin, and Frasor for pitchers:

 

Donnie Veal, Jose Quintana, Deunte Heath, Charlie Leesman, Nestor Molina, Simon Castro, and Pedro Hernandez

 

oh and they got Ozzie Martinez and Jhan Marinez at the end of the season for Guillen.

Nope.

 

And if it holds true, the White Sox will be the only team in MLB to not sign a major league free agent this offseason.

Larry Dobrow has his Power Rankings out today. Sox at 25 right now. We should be so lucky.

 

I'd probably put the Sox at 18-20 or so.

There's also the choice bit about Nestor Molina being a "fluffballer".

Kenny said there's no money left.

The fans should say the same thing to him.

They have, which is why the payroll is going down.

Do the three Cuban prospects have the same agent?

MUST. RIP. KENNY. MUST. RIP. KENNY.

Kenny did his tired "woe is me act' yesterday when Garfien asked him his thoughts on the Tigers signing of Fielder. Kenny said (paraphrasing) must be nice to lose a guy like Martinez and to be able to go out and sign Fielder. It is what it is. Yes Kenny we understand, if you only had more money to spend . . .

Of all of the stuff to complain about... What exactly is he supposed to say there that wouldn't have you complaining?

Drop standard admission prices by 25-50% during the week and see if you get more people in...

Sorry to beat a dead horse, but I can't resist.

Rios ... Dunn ... Peavy.

Pretty much anything other than his tired "woe is me" act. If Kenny and his talent evaluators had made better decisions the Sox would be in better position to contend with the Tigers. Josh Fields and Flowers were going to be All-Stars, Daniel Hudson and Gio Gonzalez were deemed expendable.

So in other words, if he had a Deloreon time machine, that's about it? I figured as much.

Right. Bad decisions by the front office mot lack of resources is the reason the Sox are where they are.

Kenny doesn't get it though or thinks the fan base is baseball stupid because he says it every year.

The funny part is that you buy into it every year. To think Kenny is stupid for what he said, and then believe it? lol.

I just want to know why he plays the "woe is me act" so often.

I despise KW. But you're reaching here. He was asked a question and he responded the way pretty much every GM already has or would.
