This. We're already writing off our best prospect. It's infuriating how much Sox fans are like Cub fans.

Okay guys. Crowdsourcing. What the hell is this guy talking about? Rebuilds suck. For everyone. There were Tribune articles about the Cubs rebuild. There are ignorant posters here who don't understand how the MLB works. You take the good where you can find it and if you look at the minors, you find it.

Even if Madrigal comes up in 2020, we're still too early to worry about Moncada's future. 2019 will say a lot

So we're not that far off. You said "Not ready" to lead. I agree. The stats bear that out. I just have a problem with guys like Dick Allen making it sounds like there isn't any development happening here. But look at Javier Baez prior to this year. Not much better than Moncada this year. Baez broke out this year. Moncada has a strikeout problem but he can break out of that.

Too soon to say. The speculation about Madrigal is a little silly right now. When he comes up we'll have a better idea who Moncada is. Until then, there's really nothing to talk about.

He's still a 2 WAR player despite his trouble and, you're right, he's a youngster.

You come across as so intelligent but your points are empty calories. Tim Anderson is a much better player this year than last year. Moncada struggled but learned to take his lumps and get back out there. Reynaldo Lopez was good even when his stuff wasn't. You're not watching the same team as everyone else or you don't know what you're watching. Striking out, walking, giving up runs are part of development when your team is so young. This team is a couple of years away and the guys in the majors outplayed the minors and had nothing else to learn there. And when Moncada, Anderson improve it's against the best talent now.

Both had their struggles. They'll both be fine. I was not confident with Tim at the beginning of the year

I liked Tim Anderson's season.

Avoiding a loss count is asinine. A loss count doesn't mean anything.

I hope the Cubs get Kershaw

Wow Brewers. Congrats. that's awesome

I'm kind of banking on a bad division again. I'm also an optimist (despite my attitude during the "go for it every year" days).

Proud to be your like 666. But seriously, yeah it got ugly. Houston was crazy when they were in the middle of cable negotiations while simultaneously being terrible. They drew a 0 rating once back then.

I love how listenable it is.

Yeah, the Cubs were premature in their rebuild. They made the playoffs starting four rookies. If I had to guess, .500 is a good bet next year and then contention is a possibility the year after that

If only this were an elimination game for the Cubbies

Jason Benetti is just the best. Such a great alternative to 670

That’s not super controversial, honestly

Okay guys, this is getting silly. It’s well documented that the White Sox are a passion project for JR. He hated to rebuild as much as anyone.

Leave it to FOF to make no real arguments in 2 and a half paragraphs. Here’s a point FOF forgot to make: the White Sox WON THE WORLD SERIES under Reinsdorf.

Doesn’t make it any better of a take. Most GMs would do exactly what RH did by blowing the team up.

Eloy next season.

Exactly. Here everyone is like "Hahn won't be around in 2020 if...." but they fail to realize Hahn is doing exactly what he said he would do. There's no way in hell he gets fired.
