  1. Rushing a player to the big leagues is something that the Sox have done for years. Hasn't worked. Glad the player has ambition, but he has to prove he is ready.
  2. Maybe the Sox would have a deeper fan base if the actually tried to build one. And Cub fans? They're idiots.
  3. What Dick Allen said and then some. Right now, all JR cares about is a new stadium and his new TV network. Building a winning team? Not so much. And all this nonsense about "being open to selling"? That was nothing but crap. When will the team be a contender? No one knows and that includes the White Sox. Fans are being scammed as always. What a joke.
  4. No, keep Crochet and try to build around him. Trading him seems to me like constant rebuilding that leads nowhere. Are they trading him to get value or are they trading him to save money? In the future how many more budget moves are made while the team goes nowhere. Sorry, I've been a fan for a long time and have had enough of rebuilding. This team should be keeping and developing talent instead of trading it away. I will not assume that they will get a good return.
  5. Allen was scarred by his experience in Arkansas. He is still the most talented player I had ever seen play on the White Sox. He had his issues and under-achieved. I think he enjoyed his experience in Chicago. He really should have a better career.
  6. On the surface, this doesn't make sense: Trading a great talent with little guarantee the team will get a good value in return. There is nothing like a rebuild. How did that last one go?
  7. No fan has seen a home run until he/she sees a Dick Allen home run.
  8. Getz supporters are saying he is slowly bringing in good baseball people into the organization. He then believes that the organization will acquire and develop talent. He keeps warning fans that it will take a long time. When will the team contend for something? One can only guess but expectations are low for the immediate future. I am one that believes a manager is important. And so is the remaining franchise infrastructure. Bringing in knowledgeable baseball people can only help after years of incompetence. But money still has to be spent, and free agency cannot be ignored. The team has to at least show some kind of progress. Promising a great future while losing 100 games will get old. Just what is the 2025 roster going to look like?
  9. No need to worry. Like the Sox, the Bears are rebuilding. They will return to the Super Bowl when the Sox return to the World Series. Each will have a new stadium.
  10. At one time, the Sox had a talented group of young players consisting of Robert, Eloy, Cease, Kopech, and Moncada. Four are no longer with the team, and in reality, only one lived up to expectations. I wonder if the FO ever asked itself what happened. But don't worry. Another 100-loss season is on the way. Perhaps two.
  11. Considering the White Sox have been rebuilding for a long time, I found the "no shortcuts" line condescending.

    Hopefully not on the White Sox. The team already has enough problems.
  13. At least they hired someone with no connection to the White Sox and a man who has a good resume. Change has to start somewhere. A winning team? We don't know when that will happen. I'd feel even better if JR lets Getz build this team even with recent results. No Tony LaRussa or other weird controlling behind the scenes. It appears that Venable is a good man.
  14. I won't be watching the Sox on TV next season. I refuse to listen to those two fools in the broadcast booth.
