Since then they have an entirely new front office and a top 5 system again.
But lets be really honest here, Tim Anderson went from an exciting player to a giant pile of shit in the snap of a finger. Eloy Jimenez can't stop getting hurt, Dylan Cease really didn't take off till he got to San Diego this year.
They also screwed the pooch by paying Yasmani Grandal and it just didn't work on top of choosing not to pay Rodon.
Of all of their top prospects Luis Robert is about the only one that has been an actual hit.

The White Sox just didn't put good things in place around that whole farm system wave. They didn't fill in well behind it, they didn't help guys reach their upside, and several of those players were inconsistent disappointments. Robert can't stay healthy. Moncada is a severe disappointment who also can't stay healthy. Vaughn looks like a bust. They didn't keep enough of the pitching. Etc.
I think their farm system is a little overrated at the moment.

I don't know how Gentry's defense is - I believe he's regarded as a corner-only guy, and just an average one at best. And his K rate could be a concern (nearing the 1/3 mark this this and 25 percent over 23-24). I think he's kind of just more of the same ...
