I mean, yes with all due respect to Mr. Williams he is doing a hell of a job with the White Sox.
But Cliff Floyd for the next top 5 prospect?
No way.
It is almost unheard of in some instances, trading a high priced retiree, for a minor leaguer who has so much potential.
Yes, minor leaguers have a 50/50 chance of making it to the big leagues, but for a washed up veteran? No.
Its not good for business. Adding more money onto the payroll does not help the White Sox much.
Secondly. Why do you need another outfielder? Wouldn't you much rather have a position player like a catcher or a middle infielder who is versatile?
I just don't understand this trade, other than the fact of blocking Minnesota from getting Benson.
