Anderson isn't a top 30 player in baseball

The Sox didn't develop those guys. They traded them because they don't have an eye for talent. They thought Tatis and Semien for Samardzija and Shields was a good idea 

Everyone involved can go f*** themselves

Coming into this season he was ranked somewhere around 11-13 in the SS/positional rankings...

Maybe in terms of hype/national attention/video game covers/batting title/Field of Dreams walkoff, etc.

Marketing/recognition Top 30.

So 1 guy.  One top 30 player.  One single home grown star.  Do you want a cookie?  A gold star?

There probably are 30 better players than TA, but whether he is or isn’t a top 30 player really isn’t the point.  Having produced *only* one arguably top 30 player is though.  That’s hardly praiseworthy, and I wholeheartedly echo your sentiments.  Everyone involved with putting this wretched team together can get fucked.
 
We deserve so much better as fans.

Avi Garcia...failed to ever become extension worthy

Drafts 

Keon Barnum

Kennyn Walker

Trayce Thompson LAD/Luis Gonzalez/Micker Adolfo/Steele Walker/Alex Call hanging on in WSH

Carson Fulmer

Zack Collins

Nick Madrigal

Courtney Hawkins

Burger (miracle he even made big leagues after what he had to overcome physically)

Z. Burdi

Garrett Crochet (injured, was always a question if he could stand up to starting duty from draft day)

Vaughn (jury still out)

 

Rodon and TA7 and Sale...the three main successes

Let's not get into second round draft picks lol.  Barren wasteland.
