southsider2k5 Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 Scot Gregor @scotgregor 19m19 minutes ago Lot of good stuff from #WhiteSox GM Rick Hahn today. Didn't come out and say it but don't be surprised if he makes waiver trade or two Good question to Hahn from @ESPNChiSox about job security. Hahn said fear of losing job is not a motivator in how he operates Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LDF Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 this is not a reaction to the positive comment from the sox gm Hahn. but i am wondering why there was no pep talk from the president of the sox org that he has made, it seems as every month. except for this month. either way, i am happy Hahn is still at the helm and making moves.

Lip Man 1 Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 Given the way people rarely leave the organization let along get outright fired job security should be the thing they should be least concerned over. Marl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't understand why you would trade Petricka or Putnam for a class A arm unless it is a really nice prospect. They make no money and have as much potential as anyone you would receive., if you want to trade one or both for an equally ranked hitter, that makes some sense.

I could still see someone giving up a quality price to improve their bullpen at this point in the season, and the White Sox are still in that boat of "having to shuffle arms around", esp. now that Jones is back. If they could get a warm body for Albers that would also be smart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marl I heard Hahn was paid well for an assistant because he was highly sought by other organizations. So I don't think he's worried. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Chappas Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 I think it is Shark to Toronto or Anaheim. Make them take LaRoche and it is for a garbage PTBNL. Robertson possible as well. Other than that a move is pointless and serves no purpose as the player coming back must clear waivers if the 40 man comes into play.

GreatScott82 Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 (edited) As much as I blame Hahn the least for all the poor decisions this organization has made over the past 8 seasons, I'm actually quite happy a reporter even came out to ask the question of job security. I almost feel like the lack of consequences this organization represents demonstrates an acceptance for poor results, poor drafting and at best mediocre baseball. Changes need to be made at the top. If it's not Hahn, it better be KW. If JR is not going to do that and actually accepts this lack of direction and poor decision by his President and/or GM, perhaps it's time he sells the team. I don't care how old you are as an owner, grow a backbone and demonstrate that their are consequences for consistent failure. My hope is that moves will be made this winter. KW and Robin will part ways and Hahn can finally bring in his own managerial choice, build his own farm system and after a few seasons of futility, right the ship. Unfortunately, I lack faith in JR to do what's right. Edited August 10, 2015 by GreatScott82 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spiderman Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 Outside of a bullpen arm, should we be expecting anything else (anyone need Ramirez)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol wake up! You're dreaming. Who would close? LF? Pitch the 8th? SS? I could see LaRoche given away and shark isn't leaving. Well get the comp pick.
