Perhaps intentionally, but your comment strengthens Mark’s view that the problem is the front office considering that for that stretch, the Pirates have a 546/539 record which includes one season with 57 wins!!! Whereas the White Sox sit on 519/568.

That, right there, says it all. I agree with Mark. The front office has failed to build a competitive team. The White Sox ranks death last in fWAR from position players since 2005. Talent evaluation has been a disaster. It is common to read here and there that the White Sox have a knack to sign good players that somehow “forget” how to play baseball. I believe it is a misconception to think that the Sox has “signed good players”….some of them were/are, but the on field product tells us the opposite.

Considering how much this team has sucked, we should be having an pretty good farm system, but not, it’s not only not good, it’s actually bad right now with our best prospect likely being a reliever. A RELIEVER!

I rather the White Sox keep Ventura and fire RH/KW combo than the opposite.

This is a horribly inaccurate representation of reality. You can’t compare the largest contracts a team has ever given out and say that equates to spending like them.

Since 2010 the White Sox have had a total opening day payroll of $758.663M, which is an average payroll of $108.380M per season.

Pittsburgh has spent a total of $476.254M and an average of $68.036M per season.
