TheFutureIsNear Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 In a perfect world every single 1 is gone between now and the trade deadline of '18. Stock pile the prospects and picks for 2 years and then start make a run for the playoffs by year 3. That's my blueprint at least... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hi8is Posted November 24, 2016 Author Share Posted November 24, 2016 I should have clarified - this is about what you think will happen... not what you think should happen. My list would have been vastly different if it was based upon what I personally want to see Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tray Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 (edited) I would not blow this thing up. I agree with Mad Dog Chris Russo. The White Siox cannot run away and hide for a few years and think the Cubs are going away. They have to try to compete every year. It is what it is.

winninguglyin83 Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 Sale - Goes. Management tired of him. Quintana - Stays. Good guys. Good price. One more year of control than Sale. Robertson - Goes. Salary dump. No need for expensive closer on rebuilding team. Frazier - Goes. Salary dump. Davidson gets his chance. Jones - Stays. New Closer. Abreu - Stays. Although I wouldn't be shocked if he was a goner, too. Melky - Goes. Somebody needs a DH Eaton - Stays. Somebody has to stay. Jennings - Stays. No other lefties in the house. Lawrie --also goes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CWSpalehoseCWS Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 (edited) Sale - Goes Quintana - Stays Robertson - Stays until 2017 deadline Fraizer - Stays until 2017 deadline Jones - Goes Abreu - Stays Melky - Stays Eaton - Stays until 2018 offseason Jennings - Stays until 2017 deadline I'm not expecting a ton of rebuilding this offseason. I don't see the Sox being competent enough to know what direction this team needs to go right now. Sale will be traded due to his market value and antics. I see Jones going too. Everyone else stays until the deadline because the Sox will still have their heads in the clouds and think they can win. Q and Eaton aren't going anywhere this offseason or 2017 season because the Sox will be way too stubborn with asking prices. I do think Eaton's time will be short lived though because the Sox will be so bad he'll let his mouth run and either demand a trade, or rub the front office the wrong way (he'll be pissed that Sale was traded and is not the right veteran you want being around for a rebuild).

Russo warned that the Sox must consider the timeline to rebuild in terms of the potential loss of interest in the team and lower attendance because of the Cubs. Russo is arguing that the Sox should try to compete every year rather than "running and hiding" for several years only to determine in three or four years, that they are still not competitive. At that point they may have done substantial damage to the franchise, the size of its fan base, and the teams bottom line. I am not cure I agree with all that he said, but the Sox probably should proceed with caution if they are really thinking of blowing the team up and tanking for several years. That strategy might end up hurting the franchise badly. Edited November 26, 2016 by miracleon35th Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At that point they may have done substantial damage to the franchise, the size of its fan base, and the teams bottom line. I think that's what they want to do. But to do that, it's getting clear that they need to take a step or 2 back. They "Went for it" 2 years in a row and couldn't come close to .500, much less contend. And some of the mistakes Rick Hahn made were absolute howlers. Ultimately, the key to consistent contention is to have a first rate drafting/international/development program. I'm not convinced the Sox take each of those aspects seriously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
