GreatScott82 Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 (edited) QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Jul 2, 2013 -> 06:30 PM) I think SoxTalk has reached a new low with this post. Hahn has been our GM for a total of 8 months. That's 1 offseason and 1/2 of a real season. The lack of patience on this board is beyond incredible. Can we at least wait until after the trade deadline before we start with these empty threats? I wasn't making an empty threat... just questioning Hahn's moves or lack of moves thus far. Saying Soxtalk has reached a new low with my post was a pretty disrespectful comment. I have admitted already that I have been a little too impatient with Hahn so far. I am merely just hoping for a change in philosophy and direction. As of his 8 months of being in the GM chair, he has yet to show me much. Can that change? Absolutely. And I sure hope it does soon. When your team is 32-47 and in dead last, there will be questions needed to be answered. And regardless of how much time he has had thusfar, those questions will be directed toward the GM.

Hahn is not new to the organization. Who knows what his philosophy is. There is nothing wrong with this rant. They didn't hire an outside and he was also the highest paid asst. GM in baseball because J.R. didn't want to lose him. It's his time to shine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The draft class they brought in as well as the signing of Zapata have shown that he is going to do his best to re-establish the minor league system. If he doesn't make any trades in the next month, then you can probably start questioning, but the odds of that are slim to none. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And you are 100% correct buddy, it is his time to shine or not shine. This next month will say a lot about his plan and direction for this team. The trading deadline is 4 weeks away.

Matt Thornton's kids inadvertently tripped him on the way into the Despicable Me 9:45 a.m. morning showing and he's been DL'ed as well with a left shoulder contusion.
