Then they should let Anderson DH 10 of those starts and get some rest, and give the backup SS (Leury?) those starts. Maybe those are some of the days that Grandal gets off.

We're at probably 10 more wins this year. What's the complaint? We will be adding Robert and Kopech.

Hahn has done a nice job considering the Sox poor reputation and being handcuffed. They NEVER had a shot a Bumgarner and Wheeler let his wife decide where he went.

Progress is definitely being made. I was pissed at the Machado failure last year but that may have been a blessing in disguise. They haven't done 1 thing this offseason that bothers me.

Yeah, I have watched at all the Sox moaning, but they have made their plays. Some swings and misses, but the cheap talk is out the window. They are trying to spend. Nice to see them land a few guys.

Let's not get nuts.

With the exception of a career year in 2015, Keuchel is nothing special. White Sox paying a high price for mediocrity.

It’s not really a high price at all.

It is a fair deal. He is better than most of their starters. Not a savior though.

I don't blame them for paying it. Just have to wrap your head around the fact he's making about double of what Q is making and they are similar pitchers.

$8 million more on a 6 year old contract. Keuchel is marginally better. He can throw a groundball when he really needs it. More crafty, in other words.

You're also signing a guy who will give Timmay plenty of chances to add to his error total.

My biggest worry. Keuchel's FIP was up last year. I would have liked to see Vizquel on the bench but....

Merry Xmas Sox fans. You wanted a Ferrari and got a Chevy.

Cub fans got their Ferrari the last few years and they ended up lemons.

Now Theo has to shop at Car-Max getting bottom value for his trade-ins.

Sox sign 3 of the top free agents(that includes Abreu) and people still cry. Get over yourselves.

MANY are crying because the Sox didn't give $400M to 1 player and because they aren't acting like Castellanos is a super star.

Fake news.

I think people had no illusions of being in the hunt for Strasburg or Cole. That's why Wheeler and Bumgarner were targeted.

They failed in their initial target this year. After failing on their target last year.

You can see why people give the front office a hard time after that.

Nobody gave anyone $400 million this year. By this logic I can act like the Sox gave Keuchel $200 million.

Are you reading this thread? MANY are upset about the Sox not getting Cole and the Sox not pretending Castellanos is a stud.

You're smarter than that. The Yankees gave him $325M. The Sox weren't going to land Cole by offering $326M. They would have had to approach $400M to get it done.

Probably not.

But the whole “players don’t want to play for the Sox unless they overpay significantly” theory doesn’t absolve the Sox FO the way you seem to think it does. It’s just another indictment.

They’ve accomplished something. They’ve made their roster incrementally better. But it’s obvious they aren’t committed to winning at the major league level currently.

This isn't the offseason to complain about that. They got every player they wanted except Wheeler because he sits to piss. I complained loudly last season and it took me months to get over the Machado failure. That may have been a blessing though because he looked like Heyward.

Every offseason is the offseason to complain about it until they sign one of the top FAs on the market and they have never done that.

I’m glad you’re happy they are acting like a small market team. Im not. This is Chicago.

You don't give 2 fucks about variables when it comes to Hahn. Listen, I want JR to die as much as the next guy but it's a bit unfair to put JR's stink on Hahn.

I love the line of they tried to give Machado money.

No they wanted the fans to think they tried. Big difference
