And the off season for the Sox is already ruined. It don't matter who we sign or whatever.

It's almost a shame (I said almost) that the Sox are going to waste another year of Sale's prime.

I mean bringing in the right relievers. Not the well being of the staff.

They were discussing on the score, trying to figure out what he does well. They could not think of anything.

This is another example of what is wrong with the White Sox and it is their owner. He brings in his favorite players as in Ozzie and Ventura and probably pays them peanuts. There are so many possibilities to hire rather than Robin. They need someone with fire in his guy. Robin gets a nuggie from Nolan Ryan. That says it all. It was obvious to me at the beginning of this sad season that they needed a power hitting 3b baseman, a catcher, and two starting pitchers. He didn't give this team a chance to compete because of his being a miser. Did the same for the Bulls by failing to improve that team also for the last five years.
Are Reiny and McCaskey related? Two cheap owners who will not deliver what is needed for their respective teams.

Managing his relief core was it. You look at the White Sox team. Not sure how much better one could be with a different manager at the helm honestly. The offensive and defensive ability just isn't there.

Jerry shells out plenty for this team.
Who would you have gotten at 3b, C, and the two SPs? And whomever you get at SP means no Rodon. And you are also paying JD $32 million to be a reliever.

I just disagree with you on this one. When you know or SHOULD know going into the season that two of your starting players are bad as in catcher and 3rd basemen are among the worst in all of baseball, you should have solidified your line-up. You might be able to cover up one hole in the line-up but two is very hard to do. That is also coupled with the awfulness of Laroach. As good a season as Abreau had, it could have been much better if he had someone behind him in the line-up to protect him. I don't know the stats on this but I would guess that the White Sox got the least productivity out of the DH position in the line-up and that is truly terrible.

With Adam it was unknown that he would turn into Dun 2011 2.0. I can't blame the organization for that.
Catcher you got a point, but like I asked, who you going to replace with what we had? There really was no one out there.
3b they liked what Conor did in 2014. If he'd have hit the .285+ again he'd have been the answer at third while they continued to hold hope for Davidson. Who would you have gone after? Pablo? Sometimes there just isn't an easy way out of a mess that explodes in your face in April.

Reinsdorf is such a terrible owner. Who's going to be the next manager after Robin? Frank Thomas? At least 10 years down the line you guys can look forward to Paul Konerko.

I didn't think any of the moves they made were all that great. Except for Melky. Outside of that, Sox did what they always do, go after middle of the road players on the cheap and ended up finishing middle of the road. If the Sox want to have any type of sustained success, which they haven't had in years, they need to build from the ground up. That means Kenny Williams would have to get out of the way. White Sox have been just as bad as, if not worse, franchise than the Cubs. They haven't won 90 games in 10 years and rarely experience any degree of postseason play.

LOL, okay. Just look at the entire Sox history if you want. They've been as futile as the Cubs. The franchise didn't come together in 2005.

And the ten years prior when they were the third best team for a decade behind the Braves and Yankees?
