They sure looked great under the leadership of St Cairo against Cleveland!

The bigger question is will he return next year.

If he is the manager again every Sox fan should boycott going to the stadium.

Trade Grandal to the Cardinals. He will probably hit a little better in that lineup, and they need a catcher with Molina retiring. They have a prospect at AAA (Herrera?) who got a couple of cups of coffee this year, so Grandal would be an acceptable one year stopgap who they can slowly move into a backup role if their prospect turns out to be starter-quality.

Now Hahn and the fans don't have a scapegoat. How is Cheating Hinch doing?

you don't think players like Moncada, Grandal and Giolito are being held accountable by fans?

Why would the Cardinals of all teams want White Sox garbage?

Certainly not as the much as the manager is.

No. The focus has been primarily on the HoF manager and not the lineup with 7 designated hitters.

Of the 1B/DH guys, namely, Vaughn, Sheets, Abreu, Jimenez, which two have the highest upside. Its hard for me but I think that Abreu would be let go in my idea of a rebuild and replaced with a left handed hitting two way right fielder. I give Vaughn the first base job and make Jimenez my DH. I then move Robert to LF where his weak arm is not the liability that it is in CF.

This leaves Sheets as a back-up 1B and DH. If they find a quality CF (maybe a position switch for Anderson?) then they might try and trade Robert for an impact 2nd baseman or SS. I'd also give Burger the job at 3B. I think LaRussa totally screwed the line-up up drastically with his love for Moncada, Harrison, and Garcia and misuse of Burger.

As for pitching, I trade Giolitto for possibly a middle infielder along with the glut of right handed hitting outfielders in the minor league system. The other absolutely required improvement is a GOOD TWO WAY CATCHER which is another big failure in 2022.

All year we watched a terrible bottom of the order from 6-9, a terrible defensive outfield and the worst catching in all of baseball. If this isn't significantly fixed, I'm done following this team. No hustle from too many guys. Bad defense from virtually every player on the team. Poor coaching on even the BASIC types of things.

The pitchers as a group should have sued for piss poor support the entire year. Cease should have locked up the Cy Young. Cueto was a terrific addition and Lynn and and Kopech were solid starter. I like Jimmy Lambert as a starter and have great hopes for the young guys rehabbing and in the minor league system.

Who is going to trade an impact 2B/SS for a perpetually injured, weak armed left fielder?

Before he had that thumb injury, Robert was hitting the hell out of the ball. He has a lot of upside including speed and power. LaRussa was an idiot for playing him with a bat hand. Tony LaRussa should have been shitcanned before this season. This is on Reinny.

Yep. It's time to start looking at Hahn.
