Dude. Who the hell cares? Chris Sale does not matter. His career was wasted here. At the very worst, we got worse and moved up the draft board. We needed prospects. We didn't need a top 5 starting pitcher when we moved Sale. We don't need more anything. We need, out of EVERY transaction that happened between blow it all up day and the end of the "rebuild" a team of nine fielders and a pitching staff. And, FYI, everyone blew Moncada's scouting if he was a flop.

I don't think he's saying we can't win with him at SS, but a WS winning White Sox team with TA at SS would clearly have one noticeable weak spot.

Not really. The White Sox had no use for Chris Sale at the time. No one player breaks a rebuild. No one looks at the Astros and seriously goes "Man, they blew that rebuild when they passed on Kris Bryant". Quit living in the past.

Right. The whole point of a strong farm is to generate multiple talented MLB players. No one player can make or break that.

What a great day to be alive!

I can see why it's tempting to go full Greg and blow the rebuild, but you simply can't do that in this day and age. You have to be bad for a long enough time to rebuild the whole system.

Same. Machado at more valuable position.

Was in a chemical plant for work. Had a safety issue onsite that required removal of all non-essential personnel. Got home around the 2nd. Watched the whole thing.

Loved Chelios. I'm good with this. One of the best American players of all time.

It doesn't really matter. The fact that this GM is doing the right thing and blowing it up and rebuilding is enough. He's doing the right things and the pieces we are acquiring and developing look pretty special.

It's so easy to complain, but look at this again and remind yourself exactly what the White Sox are trying to do https://www.baseball-reference.com/teams/HOU/2012.shtml

While obviously a joke, this team could theoretically do it.

Are all your other reasons this stupid?

I would sit him until the break

Have you ever bruised a bone? It hurts like hell

Rick was ejected

Have we fired Walker yet?

Q bad today

Elon has a lot of nerve using his customers as crash test dummies

Kipnis . lol

The Yolmer comparison is funny. Almost as funny as the "Jose Altuve" comparison.

Good news: it's not a problem.

I can't believe he only struck out 5 times last year.

Honestly, because he has more value at SS. You wait as long as you can to move him to maximize his value.

The draft thread is kind of hard to follow with intermittent NM reaction and draft action
