Ramos and Rodriguez only infielders on 40 man not on active roster and neither are ready. There is no one in any of the four Sox minor league teams to call up that are ready or productive at all levels. Again thanks Rick Hahn for a great job of not only building a World Series contender as arrogantly promised from the start of the rebuild, but also keeping a keen eye on the minors and developing a strong farm system. Great job Rick, as the latest rankings for MLB farm systems has the Sox at #26. Edited April 11, 2023 by The Kids Can Play 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good organizations would have fired Hahn a long time ago for only two winning seasons in 10 years but these are the White Sox. (And keep in mind they weren't always trying to tank, he couldn't even put together a winning season when they were trying to win.) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Mighty Mite Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 2 hours ago, bmags said: Other teams play players at multiple positions all the time without catastrophic consequences. All Sox players for a decade, signed or promoted, come up and play like idiots with zero awareness. It does not happen in STL for example. just a unique Hahn seasoning that we get to enjoy. This is because we have and have had a horrible Minor League organization, terrible instruction and coaches, I have no idea what they teach our prospects but whatever it is, it ain't working. This goes back to what JR and EE said many years ago, they don't like spending money on potential. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a stud GM! I'm thinking he might be up for executive of the year going from 28th to 26th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(And keep in mind they weren't always trying to tank, he couldn't even put together a winning season when they were trying to win.) You are absolutely right good organization would have fired Hahn by now. Unfortunately we are not a good or smart organization, because sadly, we are owned by the worst, if not one of the worst owners in baseball who simply has checked out mentally and could give a s%*# about winning. Its too bad our apathetic owner doesn't understand how to not only terminate his losing front office, but then as a result of firing this losing front office, be smart enough to go out and find a successful FO person from another winning organization and culture. Look what the Dodgers did several years ago when they went out and hired the GM Andrew Friedman from the winning Tampa Bay Rays organization and promote him to president of the Dodgers. Friedman has not only made the Dodgers one the best teams in baseball, but also has kept their farm system strong (ranked #2) as one of the best, besides spending the proper free agent money. Now back to the Tampa Bay Rays. Oh yeah, they still keep winning every year with one of the lowest payrolls in baseball. Once again they are off to a good start at 11-0! Keep in mind they are doing this with the #28 payroll at $74,537,681 million with the #6 ranked farm system. Of course our stud visionary GM Rick Hahn has the 11th highest payroll at $183,189,626 million with the 26th ranked farm system. Until the Reinsdorf family is completely gone and some new owner comes in who has the money and passion to seriously want to win, this team will continue be irrelevant and and a non-playoff organization. Unfortunately this will never happen until either Reinsdorf passes away or the fans once and for all boycott the home games and refuse to go to games. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chw42 Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 Just IL Moncada. It's already been 5 days. Moncada playing hurt doesn't help the team. We all saw what a healthy Yoan was capable of in the first week of the season. We also saw him not get a single hit in Pittsburgh with a bad back.

We all saw what a healthy Yoan was capable of in the first week of the season. We also saw him not get a single hit in Pittsburgh with a bad back. While I agree playing a man down is stupid and a gimpy Yoan is worthless at the plate (but still FAR and away our best defender at 3B), there really isn't anyone to call up. All position players on 40 man are on active roster but Ramos (hurt and not ready), JRod (not ready), and Perez (Catcher/DH type). So you're DFAing pitching depth to get a pinch runner in Billy or a guy you're never going to play in Haseley. Just not really that useful. A bit of moot point now that Eloy is coming off IL, so you can probably just swap them. But making that move for Billy or Hasley on Monday/Tue for a couple games doesn't really move the needle. You're just going to have to DFA those guys again when Yoan comes back a few days later. Edited April 14, 2023 by ChiSox59 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

35thstreetswarm Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 I feel like the White Sox lineup is good when its players are playing, and bad when our best hitters are out. It's pretty much that simple. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
