  1. That seems to be a trend in baseball. How many rehires are there these days. I guess organizations are into new blood.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. How often we forget that the Sox were wise in not renewing this contract.
  5. White Sox baseball is like insulting baseball.
  6. So have those prospects arrived to the minors yet? I seen nothing on the Baron's site.
  7. So now any potential they have will now be ruined on the farm, if not the big league team will.
  8. Maybe GMs not named Rick Hahn sees failure in high leverage situations with those guys.
  9. They don't have competent people for that unless you like rebuilds Royals style.
  10. LOL! I'm sure there's another Vaughn or Madrigal out there for them.
  11. I wouldn't want Katz back either.
  12. Overall pitching has regressed under Katz. They should try someone else next season.
  13. There's zillions of theories, research, forum "experts". We seem to live in an age where so many athletes getting injured. It's the bubble wrap era.
  14. That was your 2022 White Sox.
  15. Uhm......just like......the Royals? After a paragraph or two it's like nothing new under the sun. As for fundamentals I never blame a manager since they are never an organization priority.
  16. Some owners are more about ego and less about business. Sometimes their ego gets in the way and they go past their boundaries. Jerry is more business and gets in the way. Then there are the owners who spend where winning is more important than profit.
  17. I think the only changes possible are fans finding another team.
  18. Too much failure in high leverage situations, I mostly speak of the pen.
  19. This is an excellent post. Most fans want trades are more emotional than rational. Get a haul never happens. Some fans think they should trade Robert. Last I heard Veeck no longer owns the team where he couldn't afford to keep better players. People forget it is who is doing the trading. The Sox are not good at scouting even the big league players. Then there is development. Better small market organizations value their better prospects. Only teams with the win now mode and nothing left on the farm in case of injury. There's speculation the Padres may trade Soto. So far they win the big disappointment title.
  20. The Sox are cheap in coaching and managing. I find it unlikely any GM would really give a team like this over to someone with no manager experience or with stunning credentials. I think this was JRs choice based on a spreadsheet. Hahn's choice - no.
  21. I just wish it would rub off on other players.
  22. This game is gonna be a tease. After coming back the pen will say "oh no u don't"
