[QUOTE="Branson53, post: 1242773, member: 9067"] You guys are on this board, I'm sure some of you have seen this from Southside Sox. [url]http://www.southsidesox.com/2016/11/2/13468620/assessing-the-strength-of-the-white-sox-core[/url] I think that analysis points directly at our problem and that a rebuild is the right option. Yes, our top 4 guys are good/great players with excellent contracts in terms of control and value. However, there is such a sharp drop-off after the top four that we would almost have to sign a whole team to be competitive. Our farm system, while getting better after this year's draft, is still not anywhere close to where it needs to be in order for self-sustained success. Our top 4 guys have so much potential value we'll almost have an unprecedented opportunity, along with the weak free agent market this offseason, to jump start our "rebuild" and build depth throughout our system.
