White Sox asking for "top prospects" for Robert
Chick Mercedes replied to southsider2k5's topic in Pale Hose Talk
I don’t question any of that. I only question what good is Robert in Chicago in whatever form he takes. We’re not looking at competing any year soon. I’d be jumping at any chance to get younger right now. -

Question is… but why? -
Dodgers defenestrating Sox, Snell signs 5 years, $182 million
Chick Mercedes replied to caulfield12's topic in Pale Hose Talk
We need something that forces Jerry to have a robust and intelligent investment in creating young and talented minor league rosters. Then, we can join the big show’s bottom tier -

Don’t we even have Japanese ‘Madrigal’ now in the system? Of course. We want all the Madrigals. -
When he’s hitting .195 after a few months, should be fairly academic. But more time on the farm wouldn’t change much

Getz dumpster diving career goes on

You take pride in that pop up champion? Explain that to me. I have pride, they can’t buy me off that easy. I demand more as a Chicagoan that loves the city and all its institutions other than the Cubs, which I respect adversarially. Hell I defend Chicago against haters from Chicago, and elsewhere. Because it is objectively a world class city. The White Sox, yeah. No. If they can please you and gain your devotion with 2005, and a lifetime of failure, that’s your choice.

It’s more important for me to support a system of team building that sustainable. A freak occurrence 2005 has no value to a fan like myself. It’s fine. But you pair it with a thousand years of ineptitude, f*** that. Who cares about 2005 it just highlights the gross incompetence of this franchise that it’s never going to be repeated because it was an accident, a bug, not a feature. You can have it.

Getz is what he is. But Reinsdorf set him up as the quick turnaround guy, and stood him up as the alternative to a more talented outside man. Therefore Getz is gonna take all the heat possible for Reinsdorf for repeatedly inflicting mediocrity into Chicago, and if you’re not getting it, you’re part of the problem.

Do people get credit for doing a job under duress while they are responsible for their duress?
-
Yes. That’s fate. And also this can be the signing that Jerry allows because he’s in trouble with the fans. And then, that’ll be all.
-
Do these interests, limitations whatever we call it convert to wins is the question.

Sox hire David Keller from NYM to run int'l scouting
Chick Mercedes replied to soxfan49's topic in Pale Hose Talk
A new name only matters if JR decides to finance an expansion of the department -
Has there been a comparative trainer study?
-
And that goes for Roger Bossard as well. No effing idea. The Mozart of Turfbuilder according to Hawk. One thing about the Sox, they can hire the GOAT ancillary staff. Or Hawk is the GOAT suck up. You want to work next to Hawk, because he’ll make you famous
-
I don’t know how good it was in reality. I was led to believe it Herm was good because Hawk and Co would always be hyping him up on TV

Reinsdorf releases statement to say he'll speak more later
Chick Mercedes replied to Sleepy Harold's topic in Pale Hose Talk
Wow. He ruled out his quick (Getz) turnaround already. -
Glad the Sox Cuban pipeline dried up. They’ve been so lazy with that s%*#. Maybe now they’ll scout the DR and sign 19 cheap prospects like all the other teams

Will the Sox prioritize Moncada over youngsters?
Chick Mercedes replied to caulfield12's topic in Pale Hose Talk
The White Sox have historically given a lot of veteran players that haven’t carried their weight, good money, and have written them into lineup cards way past their expiration dates. The White Sox have to be viewed as one of the best teams to work for in the league -

If you’re a burned out veteran, this is the place to come. -
Chasing Records — 121 losses, modern MLB record

Just wanted to say, what time to be alive. White Sox at full White Sox power, and we are here for it. -
No player symbolizes Chris Getz Player Development like Lenyn Sosa

And even when it’s Fernando Tatis and Marcus Semien….they gotta go gotta go.
