#POSox With the emergence of some of the NEW SMARTER front offices (lead by the Astros & Dodgers) do you think that the KW lead #WhiteSox teams of a decade ago actually had a better chance competitively than the current Hahn lead #WhiteSox(top prospects or not)?

If you DFA Alonso, demote Cordell & Tilson, & add Palka, Jay & Zavala, you get a fun lineup. vRHP: CF Jay, Moncada, Eloy, Abreu, RF Palka, DH/C McCann, C/DH Collins, Anderson, Yolmer. vLHP: CF Leury, Moncada, Eloy, Abreu, DH McCann, Anderson, Yolmer, C Zavala, RF Jay. Thoughts?
