How would you guys feel about trading for Heyward to play in RF next year? I don't think he'd cost that much prospect-wise since he's still owed a ton of money. Isn't he still an elite RFer?
I’m afraid that’s what will happen. JR will sign some mid-level vets to make it seem like he’s spending money. We might improve 5 or so games in 2020 while waiting on the kids to develop.
I want to tank hard to get a higher pick in the draft, but what is the cost in the long run? How does it impact the player’s psyche? Will they get too comfortable with losing?
This has been my worry all alone. People always blamed KW for always going for it but I believed it was Reinsdorf demanding that the White Sox looked like they competed every year to keep people coming to the park. Now that he sees that we’re stupid enough to keep going to games with young cheap talent, he’ll be less inclined to spend.
Well Collins isn’t that good, Rutherford is bad and... does Burger even play anymore? Last time I saw him he looked like he was 300lbs.
I feel like we still have a long way to go and the White Sox need more talent before they’re ready to compete. I still don’t have faith in free agency.
I’ve been listening to MLB Radio all day and I’ve been in and out on 670 and ESPN Radio 1000. Out of the hours and hours I’ve been listening, I haven’t heard the White Sox mentioned at all. The irrelevancy is what kills me as a fan. No one cares. No one talks about us.
You know, I’m not entirely pissed off. Hahn can’t make teams deal with him and I’m glad he didn’t give our guys away. If contenders didn’t want to give up the prospects that the Sox wanted, them they can go eff themselves.
