southsider2k5 Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 QUOTE (Marty34 @ Oct 22, 2011 -> 07:45 PM) Caufield, The idea is quite simple. It's easier to find an outfielder than it is a starting pitcher. A team like Atlanta that has pitching depth might be more willing to give up one of its prospects for Viciedo than it would be for Quentin. I can't believe you can constantly slam Kenny, but your solution is to demolish the team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why I hate the "rebuilding" people. A lot of them think rebuilding means totally demolishing the team. That won't cut it in Chicago. Sox have to try to compete/win.

The longer the team on the north side thinks "Rebuilding won't cut it in Chicago" the worse off they'll be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why the team on the north side? They're the ones drawing 3 million a year, not the team on the south side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly, but they've shown a much greater ability to generate revenues with mediocre or bad products on the field than the White Sox have, which is likely what you'd be enduring during any rebuild.

Which means...for the North Side team in particular...rebuilding will cut it in Chicago. The team on the south side...rebuilding is a lot riskier in terms of revenue loss.

A lot of them think rebuilding means totally demolishing the team. That won't cut it in Chicago. Sox have to try to compete/win. If the Sox rebuild they're going to stink for at least a few years. If the Sox don't rebuild they may bounce back a little next year but by 2013 or 14 at the latest they will be looking at a future comparable to what the Royals and Pirates have experienced for decades.
