Really, what’s
the difference between a rebuild and an expansion team? Either way, you end up with a bunch of new
and unproven talent. In the last two weeks
alone, the White Sox have traded away six veterans in exchange for ten
“prospects.” General manager Rick Hahn
doesn’t seem too concerned about any of them reaching 35th and
Shields anytime soon. I mean, the last
two trades netted us minor leaguers on the disabled list.
Hahn sees a
double-play combination of Tim Anderson and Yoan Moncada as a soon-to-be
wonderful thing. I see one guy hitting
.239 (to go with his 22 errors), the other .111, and keep thinking of Casey
Stengell on the immortal Greg Goossen:
“Goossen is only 20, and in 10 years he has a chance to be 30.” Until shown otherwise, the same could be said
of all that new talent down on the farm.
