Part of me thinks this is done to get the team ready for some buyers.

I think it's nothing but a plot to sell the team. The suburbs make more sense to move. Nashville would only be a short term success. It's obvious Florida is not a place for baseball. If the Sox were like the Rays they easily draw 3 million.

You forgot what organization we are talking about.

Still better than the Grifol signing.

Howz that workin out now? Not so good. Farm system ratings don't always tell the story with many organizations, usually the ones that seem to have more losing seasons than winning seasons.

Hmmmm you'd be surprised. Many of them do. Girls develop much younger.

Good reason for keeping Katz. Mental weakness is the culture.

It the "name we know" scouting by fans. We heard of them so they will do. Veteran careers regress here. He doesn't need help in that.

I guess they didn't want to mimic the Sox white flag trade.

This is so overblown. Timmy wasn't really hit hard just lost balance.

I have a different take. They didn't like McEwing. See Lance Lynn arguing about "steak".

I think he only did it as a favor to JR. He really wasn't all in. Plus when it's been a long time from living the life of a manager he couldn't adjust back to that lifestyle.

I think any GM will be a puppet for JR.

Another candidate for the Sox IL.

Yep. So did Mike Singletary.

That seems to be a trend in baseball. How many rehires are there these days. I guess organizations are into new blood.

Mike Ditka figured that out. Plus I think the more successful managers is where a philosophy is the same from the rookie league to the majors. To make matters worse they hire people from habitually losing organizations, even the former Sox players. It amazes me though that players from the farm seem to fail in high leverage situations.

We are so conditioned to believing that. I wonder if fans of other teams have that same disease. Aj and Ozzie come from a different decade and may not have dealt with anything like today's player. I guess no one has bothered to call AJ to be involved in an instructional league or manage rookie league. At least Ozzie paid his dues to get there.

How often we forget that the Sox were wise in not renewing this contract.

White Sox baseball is like insulting baseball.

So have those prospects arrived to the minors yet? I seen nothing on the Baron's site.

So now any potential they have will now be ruined on the farm, if not the big league team will.

Maybe GMs not named Rick Hahn sees failure in high leverage situations with those guys.

They don't have competent people for that unless you like rebuilds Royals style.

Mental meltdown time
