right. its all kennys fault. lol. what did hahn do in the offseason again? his biggest move was not signing aj.

Actually his biggest move was signing Lindstrom which would help, but this team scores a little more than Beavis and Butthead and they field like team full of r-tards.

Kenny signed Lazy Alexei, Viciedo, and Dunce and he traded for Faygot Flowers, plus he drafted a big pile of nothing which is why they've had to hold onto Konerko long past his prime, pick Rios off waivers (our best player, but if he's your best position player during a season your team's not very good), and sign Dunn. Finally, he traded someone who looked like an up and coming pitcher and got EDWIN JACKSON and dealt a decent 1B prospect in Brandon Allen for a shitty relief pitcher named Tona Pena. Fact is, Kenny was a shitty GM from 09-12 and the fiasco with Dave Wilder signing bad players he knew sucked from Latin America so he could pocket their bonus money should have gotten him canned between 07-08. Also, Wilder replaced a longtime guy as Head of Scouting around 06 or 07 which was around the time draft picks and International signings got escalatingly worse. That Wilder scandal hurt the Sox' ability to sign players from Latin America (other than Cuba where we've gotten the two worst "prospects" in Ramirez and Diane Viciedo) which is the only way the team was able to get young talented hitters (remember Maggs and El Caballo?)

If you think I'm making up the David Wilder stuff, here's a couple of links to that story.

wilder is true. viciedo is younger than cespedes and many baseball scouts think the sox should hold on to him since his ceiling is so high. rios has been ok, dunns 2011 season i guess wont go away and BA is still being used on a guy that is supposed to hit hrs. drafted bad? hows that working for sale and reed? ejax was supposed to be flipped but rizzo backed out. he also traded i injured every year mccarthy for masset and danks...which masset brought kg jr.
