Here's a sampling of his strawmen from today's DH. Yeah Seacrest he went after me too when I questioned some of his garbage.
"It was only about seven weeks ago that Rick Hahn was taking a beating for the failed White Sox rebuild. The general manager blew it with Jose Quintana, said the skeptics, having failed to trade his most valued asset before the season.
And then he got a haul from the Cubs.
Since then, Carlos Rodon has been terrific in the majors, Reynaldo Lopez and Lucas Giolito have been called up to join Yoan Moncada and several monster prospects have caught fire in the minors.
And now the suggestion is that this could be a two-year rebuild instead of five.
Seriously, pick a narrative."
I won't bother you with the rest....
Hahn was not taking a beating for Quintana. He had another three years in which to make a good trade. It did look like the window had closed on the big boys with the Astros being cheap and the Yankees being indecisive. However, even the most vocal about Hahn not moving him were giving him until the trade deadline. Not only were the Cubs offering Eloy but the Braves were supposedly offering their top player.
My most hated Rozner narrative is that he gave up being a fan of any team once he became a columnist and is now an unbiased observer.
