Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

I’m getting tired of playing the waiting game with a couple of guys this summer.

The first, it pains me to say, is Avisail Garcia. I fell in love with the raw power potential. It’s like watching Babe Ruth without the gut.

“Now there’s a building block!” I screamed before this year.

“Now there’s a blockhead” is what I’m usually screaming this year.

You’ve made some nice leaping grabs in the field, you can run like the wind.

And sorry. Wednesday’s game aside, it looks like little Carlos Sanchez has more power than Garcia.

I’m putting him on notice. This is my final (half) season of being in his corner.

In fact, notice to all White Sox: Given your wild inconsistency, the ups and the downs, I’m chalking this up to a “learning/development” year. Regarding the ups and downs: Do they make a special Prozac for baseball season?

So sad, but look: 1) Carlos Rodon. Still learning the major league game. Could be great. Not this year, however.

2) Garcia. Wait and see, as always.

3) Chris Sale. Love him. Still makes fielding mistakes. Correctable.

Rick Hahn. I always liked him. He calls this a “three-year plan.” Please make it a two-year plan. I won’t survive three years. Next year I want results, and I don’t mean that second wild card.

By the way, quit chasing the second wild card. It’s like being the 68th team in the NCAA tournament. No trophy there.

That goes for you too, Cubs. Don’t fall for that playoff spot. It’s not worth the future. Well done, Theo Epstein, on not giving up any prospects for deadline deals. Smart.

However, sadly, the Cubs also are waiting. Yes, one Starlin Castro continues to baffle the team, coaches and fans alike.

I see Joe Maddon actually pulled him aside and said, “You’re not getting traded.”

Um, clarification. He meant, “You’re not getting traded this year.”

Yes, he can play. There’s just such a nonchalantness to his approach. The opposite of Derek Jeter.

I say he’s gone. Find a sucker. Someone will want that team-friendly contract. Get some pitchers in return, please.
