Boo-hoo

When it rains, it pours, and the White Sox might want to get in touch with Noah, if he hasn’t already floated away. The Sox alternated losing big in Kansas City (10-1, Thursday night) with losing close last night, 2-1. They also lost Luis Robert Jr. to a hip flexor. Before the game, Eloy Jimenez went on the IL with an abductor strain, so I figure he’ll have company today or tomorrow with Robert joining him. The blame here falls on ex-GM Rick Hahn. It was obvious early-on that Jimenez was injury-prone; this will be something along the lines of his sixth visit on the IL. What kind of conditioning program did Hahn come up with to combat the problem? If there was none, the Sox should’ve moved to trade Eloy ASAP. Ditto Robert. It’s worth noting Hahn also wasted a first-round draft pick on now-Cub Nick Madrigal, who could keep a condo on the Il for all the times he’s been on it between both Chicago teams. As for Yoan Moncada, another injury-prone piece of the Hahn rebuild, I’m wondering if he’s changed his conditioning routine in order to stay healthy and generate nice stats in this, his walk year. Speaking of general managers, Chris Getz hasn’t exactly cloaked himself in glory. Consider that Paul DeJong has struck out ten times in 14 at-bats, and Dominic Fletcher, the purported answer to the problem that is right field, is batting a less-than robust .125, although that is 125 points higher than Martin Maldonado, who’s started the season 0-for-13. Andrew Benintendi and his .107 BA, though, is another Hahn mistake. Speaking of mistakes, take manager Mickey Mouse, please. How long until Getz pulls the plug on one of the worst hires in recent team history? Before or after they call up Danny Mendick, who’s now pitched twice for Charlotte? One last question: When both teams are 1-6, which one qualifies as Triple-A?
