Heading into the
Crosstown Classic this weekend at Wrigley Field, White Sox general manager Rick
Hahn announced he was staying the course, damn’ the torpedoes and full losing
ahead. As bad as his team might be, Hahn
as no intention of rushing the talent he’s squirreled away in the minors.
“As satisfying as it
might be to reward the fans who have endured this rough start by dropping a top
prospect in there as a bit of a cookie to show progress in this process and to
make the games perhaps a little more palatable, that will not be the
motivation,” Hahn told the Tribune Friday in that convoluted syntax of
his. “It will be based upon the player
having completed every element of his development at the minor-league level.”
So, Hahn is either a
prolix jerk or a clueless prolix jerk. Judging
by the stats, I’d say there’s a lot of talent at high-A and Double A for the
Sox. If Hahn doesn’t want to bring it to
the parent club, he should at a minimum start reshuffling the rosters at
Double-A Birmingham and Triple-A Charlotte.
Wait, maybe that’s what he was saying, only it got lost in all the
verbiage.
