They are getting what they deserve, they backed the Brinks truck up to BJ Ryan's backyard after one good season on a great Chicago team. They should have invested more in developing their prospects and scouting cheap overseas players in Japan and Cuba.
JP keeps going for the grand slam with all his big name signings, Frank Thomas is a perfect example. Does anyone here see Billy Beane giving Frank Thomas $18 million? No, instead he drafts a guy like Nick Swisher, pays him peanuts, and gets a far better player.
