Wheeler vs White Sox 4 ER, 12.1 IP, 2.98 ERA Lynn vs Phillies 5 ER, 19 IP, 2.37 ERA Small Sample Sizes, can't really project those numbers out based on how each team has done so far this year.

his weakness isn't picking consensus top prospects, just look at any prospect list and throw a dart or pick the highest ranked guys that fill a need based on position his weakness is developing them because we don't have adequate coaches and systems in place on the farm I don't have any issues with wanting Hahn as far away as possible from another reboot, I'm just saying the easiest part of said reboot/rebuild is selecting the highest ranked prospects for whoever you're trading If you're asking me to choose between (assuming Hahn/KW is gonna be in charge) Keep the same core and try this same experiment again until their contracts are up or blow it up I'm 100% on the blow it up side

Sox Bullpen vs Baltimore this series: 11 IP, 17 Hits, 12 ER, 12BB, 10K

Sox Machine Josh Nelson and Jim Margalus are saying Katz cannot manage a bullpen. Katz is so damn overrated on this board. FF to 17 minutes.

Moncada was a top 5 prospect in all of baseball, that wasn't necessarily a failure on Hahn

lmfao let's ignore the fact that he can't stay healthy and just project his potential in this argument lolz indeed

Hendriks can't pitch every game, his return isn't gonna change anything in the overall picture

another teams DL?

you're right that Burger seems to be a better hitter than yoan but his defense at 3B will literally negate all his offensive WAR, he's that bad.

it's way more nuanced than "don't blow it up because the same people are in charge" a huge problem with this team imo is some guys were given massive extensions before they proved anything let new young players who are hungry and aren't millionaires come in and fucking earn it

I feel your frustration but shouting at the sky on a message board isn't gonna do anything. gotta stop going to games, gotta cancel your MLB.tv package, stop buying merch giving them your hard earned money gives them a massive incentive to not change a damn thing

he's closer to a DFA candidate than trade option at this point and no I'm not saying he's about to be released but that's closer to reality than anyone giving up legit prospects for him. he's a freaking DH who's always hurt

This is the worst Sox team since Jerry M. edit: *since

I think it's a combination of things LaRussa was horrendous and overmatched Katz is highly overrated (Giolito has gotten worse since Katz joined the team) The hitters approach still looks like a product of Menechino

Jason is a pretentious shithead. Idk how you guys can stand him lol.

Jake burger is a better DH than Eloy it's not even debatable

guys relax, they got this ?

yeah right

again, Rick just needs to trade for consensus top prospects. that isnt hard to do so long as there are offers. but as far as the rest of the rebuild (coaching, scouts, technology, minor league development, he cannot be allowed to handle any of that s%*# trading for prospects is the easy part, developing them into above average MLB players is gonna be tough until they blow it up and bring in people who have a track record

I laugh in all their faces, idiots.

that's the funniest s%*# I've read today

JR sucks but the level of spending isn't what's killing this franchise. its how they spend their money. they are inept, they don't invest in quality coaching, technology, scouting, nor do they sign the right free agents (check out the latest Southside Sox article on Rick Hahn in the other thread) TB spends a fraction of what the Sox do. It's not that JR doesn't spend, it's that he's letting unqualified ivy leaguers use his debit card.

oh a sell off is coming baby, book it

This is the answer I've been preaching the last 3 years on this forum. People gotta stop giving them their money. Instead I get the most ridiculous excuses for why that won't work. It will work, it works in literally every single industry. Don't let people gaslight you into believing nonsense. If they lose money, shareholders and investors will demand change, period.
