Jose Abreu Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 QUOTE (iamshack @ Nov 8, 2016 -> 07:19 PM) I'm confused...he says he would be surprised if Sale was traded to Boston in a deal centered around Bennintendi. Ok all, he tweeted like 3 conflicting things but he IS predicting Sale to Boston for Benintendi+ and a Frazier extension. He later corrected "would be surprised" to "wouldn't be surprised" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigsoxhurt35 Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Nov 8, 2016 -> 07:17 PM) My fear is that RH finally talked JR into a rebuild, and JR reluctantly agreed but made it clear that it needs to not take very long. And thus RH may be constrained to try to make the team competitive in two years or something. You can't do what the Cubs did unless ownership is willing to buy into its GM' plans, even if those plans sound painful in the short term. I don't know man. I just know there needs to be patience and not push the envelope too early and try to contend too early. Let guys develop so when you do try to contend, they're ready. I think the Cubs WS helps the patience on the South Side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamshack Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 QUOTE (WhiteSoxLifer @ Nov 8, 2016 -> 04:31 PM) No he said he thought sale would go to boston and would be centered around Benintendi. He said he wouldnt be surprised if the sox extended Frazier. He first messed up the frazier opinion and correctd it Ahh, I see. It would help if someone would have linked to his corrected tweet.

ChiSoxFanMike Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 What's the point of extending Frazier if they're tearing everything down? A veteran leadership role perhaps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iamshack Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 (edited) “We’ve always been focused on putting ourselves in the best position to win,” Hahn said. “At the same time, I think we’re veering away from the standpoint of looking for stopgaps. A lot of what we did in the last few years had been trying to enhance the short-term potential of the club to put ourselves in a position to win immediately. I feel the approach at this point is focusing on longer-term benefits. It doesn’t mean we won’t necessarily be in a good position in 2017. It means that our targets and whatever we’re hoping to accomplish have a little more longer-term fits in nature.” This is the quote that frightens me.

BlackSox13 Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 Would love to see a full rebuild but I have a difficult time believing that JR will agree to rebuild at the tender age of 80. What scares me is the rumors that JR wants to win which means no rebuild. Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if JR finally (after all these years) got his good friend (Alex Rodriguez) to DH for the Sox in '17. This would be a typical JR move. Anyway. I really hope Merkin is right about the Sox looking like they will rebuild. Its been long overdue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
