fathom Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Aug 2, 2011 -> 03:37 AM) Ed Wade. Jim Hendry. MacPhail. Those are clearly the three worst. KW is in that second-tier. MacPhail made some good moves in the last week, and J.J. Hardy has been a stud. He just had no prayer with his young starting rotation not living up to the hype.

whitesoxfan101 Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 There's a reason some of us were not against White Flag II. We don't want the Sox to lose, we just understood the recent run was a mirage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soxfest Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 QUOTE (bucket-of-suck @ Aug 1, 2011 -> 09:35 PM) The only thing Kenny did worse than assembling this team is deciding not to dismantle it! +1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulstar Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 1, 2011 -> 09:33 PM) It would be hard to. Two other candidates, Wade and Hendry, will be out of a job shortly. How could I forget about Hendry. I've always thought Hendry was bad, but his past 3 years have been pretty freaking terrible. Its almost like they are trying to see who can waste more money on terrible offensive players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsideirish71 Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 1, 2011 -> 09:36 PM) The thing that baffles me is that if Kenny thought this team was close enough not to sell off players, why the heck didn't he try to get a piece or two to help this offense? I'm not talking superstar addition, but at least someone who can maybe hit the ball out of a Little League park. He allowed the manager to override him on Viciedo for most of the summer.n Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Way too much reliance by some people on here of guys like Dunn and Rios turning their seasons around after they haven't shown one sign of life all season. The season will be over for the Sox by Sunday, and then we'll have to pray for some waiver deals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan4life_2007 Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 I have a Mets fan friend that's laughing at the Dunn signing. And his team signed Jason Bay. That's how bad it's gotten. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 I'd let the team take Thornton. 14 million so left on his deal I believe at this point, and that's too much for someone who can't close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
