Can someone please help me understand how a guy batting 254 with 18 Homers and 72 RBI's is worth 300 million. Not trying to be a jag but is it not better to spread that money amongst 3-4 guys who are good players???

I totally respect and understand those of you who are very skeptical of Hahn's comments about being aggressive and your feeling about FO and JR. However, let's take a step back and look at some facts and some opinions. 1. This is year 3 of a major rebuild/tear down. No matter what anyone thinks or says we were not going to compete this year. 2. Injuries to key pieces have even slowed down the rebuild more then the FO and we as fans expected. 3. Even with the above we have begun to see some key pieces, Giolittio, Moncada, Anderson, Bummer, and ReyLo (of late) start to become good baseball players with potential to be very good to great. 4. There are others who most of us agree will also take that next step soon in Cease, Jimenez, Kopech, Robert...... 5. With the players mentioned above we have begun to build a foundation. 6. The FO did not trade away players at deadline like Bummer or Colome who can help us start to turn things around next year. I was upset as many of you with the lack of moves BUT I took a step back thought this through.........we are now getting to a point where we are done trading good MLB players for A or AA prospects (next step of rebuild). We need to start adding on...... 7. Even though the Manny M ordeal from the summer left a bad taste in our mouths and fans......the Sox have a lot of capital to spend and add to the players I mentioned above. The FO has said all along this process that when time comes they will spend the money. The time will start in this upcoming free agency. We need to let that play out. IF they do nothing this winter, then we have every right to boycott, bash, not show up at the ball park. 8. Rebuilds suck and as a major market team we should not be in this situation....BUT we are. We have to let this play out. I truly believe if the FO does what they said they would we are going to start turning the corner to becoming a good team next year. While I am impatient, i am willing to give the FO an opportunity to hold true to their word. If in year 4 we are looking like we are now and the FO has not lived up to their word then I will suffer as a fan and keep my money by not showing up to the ball park. Just my humble thoughts as I wait impatiently, like all of you, for this offseason and for this organization to start turning things around. I am getting frustrated with losing and having to root for all NL teams that play the Cubs. Not how I enjoy watching baseball. But I am sticking to the process of the rebuild and hoping the FO lives up to their words....... Go White Sox!!

Point being, you can sit on a cutter all you want......its hard to hit a good cutter

How did that work out for hitters against Mariano Rivera

This inning is on Anderson

Colome pitching like he wanted to be traded

That's the whole team

Our batter's have ZERO concept of the strike zone and ZERO concept of having a approach at the plate.

We are bad at baseball!!

Eloy......good god man

The hitting approach in the 2nd half is soooooo piss poor

I feel bad for James. He has been worked into the ground. He needs a couple days off

Lucas seems to be getting locked in now.

Finally a good at bat by Jose

No plate discipline at all for Abreu....

He pitched around Goins ?

Goins should have 3-0 green light the way Abreu is going....?

Yolmer=En Fuego

Jay sucks

Velo up this inning

It should be fastball city if that's the case. Just spot it

Bad 3-0 swing

To me the biggest difference between Lucas of 1st half and his recent struggles isn't about his stuff. He's got the stuff. It that he hasn't been locating. He has been missing his locations with the fastball.

Move along......nothing to see here..........?

Many people on this board were very against Frazier earlier in the year when his name was brought up after he was sent down to minors.
