I’ve heard many people say no way Andruw Jones is a hall of famer. How can so many people think that?

He’s not gonna hit 500 HR, and he’s got a .256, .338, .488 line for his career. That line will probably continue to go south the longer he plays. I think he’ll be borderline when all is said and done.

Is Dave saying the White Sox are a bad organization? Chicago Mark disagrees. The White Sox have a very good organization. Ozzie might be trouble but he has control of that locker room and Williams can usually get the extra bat/arm needed for a run. Plus some fairly good home grown talent.
Disagree Dave!!!

Kenny has been in charge for about 10 years now. THe Sox have consistantly been in the top 2 in spending in the division. The AL Central hasnt exactly been a powerhouse during this time. And yet out of 10 years, they’ve only made the postseason what, twice?

how long does kenny get to live off of 2005?

So Dave thinks Ruben is a top 5 bottom GM? That’s a ridiculous statement. Not saying he’s top 5, but his in season trades and below market signing of Halladay all while maintaining a top 10 farm have to make him at least a top 15 guy, no?

Sorry Mister Rob and Dave. I just don’t think the Sox are a bad organization. I think all teams try to improve on weak spots from previous years. AND in Chicago, one World Series is good forever!!! Although that’s pretty sad.
