They probably follow Nelson, who of course tweeted the signing out as some negative reflection on the front office. I'll go ahead and pass on the guy with 4.6 K/9 in the modern game. Thanks.

All of SoxMachine (except for maybe Margolus) are actively rooting against the White Sox at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I've always liked Jim, and I understand his outward frustration after watching this for decades but he does lead that brigade and he surrounded himself with those types of people. Had the White Sox signed Anderson, I guarantee he would have tweeted out some negative angle regarding the signing as well.

mattdavidsonsflow Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 I think people are being a little too reactive to every single deal it seems, or miss... but I am a bit worried seeing these tier 3 guys come off the board now. Hopefully the Sox are working on & close with one of the pitchers in this tier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the scary thing is that I have so little faith in Hahn that I could see him doing worse. The guy added Nova, Santana, and Banuelos last offseason as his SP options. I don’t think it’s crazy to doubt Hahn this offseason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kind of bizarre that we’re waiting to see who will be the last man standing and simply signing them rather than be proactive and going after a guy we think may be undervalued.

I thought last year was a bit embarrassing for White Sox Fan Nation, but this year and how the've handled this offseason so far is beyond childish and ridiculous. For a fanbase that takes pride in being being hard ass proud, bunch of whinny pussies is what I see. From "what team will you cheer for next season" to "time to rebuild the rebuild," man the fuck up!

If the Sox miss out on the few remaining starting pitchers that are actually good (Bumgarner, Keuchel, and Ryu), will you change your tune?

Oh I know, but that still doesn’t change the fact that the supply side is quickly shrinking and if there is a guy we really like on a one year deal (like say Wood) that maybe we should be a bit more aggressive. My concern (which is a bit Parkman-ish admittedly) is we view all these pitchers as interchangeable and are simply waiting for the best bargain possible. That seems unlikely, but at the same time we haven’t signed anyone yet which is still very much surprising to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless the target was Brett Anderson, the market didn't run out of anything after his signing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
