You make the call: Did the White Sox organization treat The Big Hurt in shabby fashion?
YES The best player in franchise history deserves more respect He should have been fired by team president, not the GM He should have been fired in person, not by phone message He should have had the chance to end his career in Chicago		NO He may have been great once, but not any more He is selfish, he's a troublemaker, and he's a whiner He didn't fit in with Sox plans and wouldn't have helped them He deserves no more respect than any other ballplayer
Sox fans are split on this question, and defend their positions with great passion
