Whatever helps you sleep at night. The Tatis trade will forever go down as one of Hahn's worst. Shields was a complete bum at the time. It is the epitome of the White Sox flawed approach post 2005.
I have done a complete 180 with you. I'm throwing my hat in your ring for the White Sox GM position next time it opens up. That may not be for another couple decades, but WBWSF for GM!
Fulmer was simply a bad pick. His ceiling wasn't particularly high due to his small build. He wasn't on the draft board for many teams because it was a laughable pick that high. You seem to be confusing "high ceiling draft pick" with "terrible draft pick".
Non baseball junkies I know go there for the weather/atmosphere/party basically. Definitely feels like more than baseball.
It was a heck of a time though. Took about a full week for my body to recover from it though...
I've heard enough excuses out of Hahn this off-season. blaming a Twitter leak is comical.
Hahn - "I would have gotten away with it if it wasn't for you darn kids and your mangy Twitter leak!"
