What a jackass. I do feel bad for Pedro Grifol, but it was his decision to jump ship to that south side shitshow. There isn’t a manager dead or alive that could do much better with that roster.

Eh - hard not to put some of that on a manager.
Oh sure, they were always going to lose 100. 105 may have been a foregone conclusion.
But when you have 2 guys in Crochet and Fedde who were pitching their asses off for you, that alone should keep you from being historically bad.
I mean if every player you have is fairly young and still underperforming their norms, that's a manager and organization issue as well. It ain't like Robert was hurt - he was just shitty. Lopez should've had good defensive value at least - hasn't. Benintendi has a long track record of being average to slightly above - he's been one of the worst players in baseball this year at an age that he just shouldn't be. Vaughn regresed for the 2nd straight year.
The White Sox should've been bad. But they shouldn't be THIS bad. They have a more talented roster than this. I mean somthing like 60-102 should've been a reasonable floor for them. And that's BEFORE they got a breakout from Crochet and career season from Fedde.
