He is just living in an alternate reality right now. The Sox will never have the player development infrastructure like Cleveland, they would have to gut everything out to get there.

That's why it was included in the thread about what the White Sox could be and not what the White Sox are currently.

It's also not that hard to revamp things. The Royals, Cubs, and Astros have all done it recently.

The Dodgers have spent about $20 billion, and they haven't won a real WS. Baseball is the only major sport where luck determines the champion. You have to get a ticket to the dance to have a chance to get lucky, though.

Nardi said there was no "Tampa Rays" in the AL Central, I'd argue otherwise(Cleveland)

Guardians recent playoff history

2013 lost WC game
3 years later, pissed away the World Series
2017 lost ALDS
2018 lost ALDS
2019 missed playoffs
2020 lost WC series
2021 missed playoffs
2022 lost ALDS

Better than the Sox past decade (which isnt hard to do) but lets not pretend Cleveland has been some juggarnaut MLB team recently.

Since 2000 the Indians have as many playoff series wins as the White Sox if you don't count the Wild Card round. The Indians would have one WC victory more than the White Sox.

The Rays have never won a WS either. Doesn't mean they aren't great at player development

Imagine wanting to be like the Dodgers, Rays, and Indians. Two of the teams have never won anything, and the Dodgers haven't won a WS since the 80s. I'll pass.

Since 2013 (Rick Hahn's first season as G.M) Cleveland has only had one Losing season. :lol: :lol: :lol: I'd take that in a heartbeat over the bullshit that Hahn has been running

Nobody is "saying" Rick Hahn should "keep" his job.

Why? The Dodgers have a great farm, print more money than the government, and lose every year. The Rays have the smartest people in baseball in their organization, and they also lose every year. Do they get extra style points for losing?

Someone sure as hell thought he was good at it however.

Not really, but thats fine if you don't understand it. If you can't see that Kenny almost always traded away young guys for a veteran piece, and now Hahn is acquiring young talent then I can't help you.

Don't let me get in the way of your blind optimism. Cheerlead as much as you want. But you might want to drop the "you don't understand it" angle. I understand perfectly what they are doing. I'm just not applauding Hahn before he's done any real work. The rest of you are.

Frank Coztansa wrote:
Given everything the Sox have done over the last ~8 months, Hahn deserves kudos. If the Sox continue to suck for the next 4-5 years, he will deserve and likely get a lot of negative press.

There is clearly a different philosophy in the way of doing things now with the Sox front office. Its basically the complete opposite of what Kenny Williams did for the better part of 11 years. Given that and what Kenny himself has publically said, it leads me to believe that Hahn was NOT 100% in charge of the roster regardless of what his title was.

With what you have said in this thread, its pretty clear that you either do not understand that, or you are willfully ignoring things which would make BRick's comments about creating your own agenda correct.

I would much rather be the 90's Braves than I would the 90's Kansas City Royals that's for sure.

Dodgers won a WS and a pennant. The White Sox should have set the bar there for the rebuild/tanking to be a success.

It's not every day you have co MVPs on one team. That's different than a masked title. We all know the empty stadium eliminated the element of pressure. The very thing that sends the Dodgers and their all star team home every year.

If you are a White Sox fan, the only org you don't trade places with is Oakland(maybe not, they are getting a new stadium). Sox I believe are 13th in overall payroll, but with no farm that isn't enough. You have to spend to the point you can't fail, like the Yankees. And 100% the worst farm system in baseball. You need a pipleline, and they don't know how to manage Latins. The Latin player, prone to laziness, only motivated by money/fear of losing a job. You paid them and there are no prospects in the minors pushing them so they have mailed in the rest of their careers.

As a Chicago baseball fan, bragging rights ended in 2016. There's been a lot of disappointment on both sides of town. I've probably lost a decade off my life because of the suckage.

IMU starting his "Theo won the Quintana trade" thread like 3 hours before Eloy hit a 9th inning bomb to beat the Cubs at Wrigley is top two or three.
