Jake Burger is an awesome human being. Jake Burger is a mid baseball player with lots of flaws in his game.
Both of these can be and are true. The crying over Jake Burger being traded and not Eloy is fucking baseball stupid.
I hate this organization for where we are BUT they did very well in this trade and sold high.
That being said I will always root for Jake Burger. However I'm not baseball stupid.
Ironically the only person involved in this conversation that is actually baseball stupid is Eloy himself.

Carela 29th ranked Yankees' prospect...from the Dominican.
Was once described as having Micker Adolfo light tower power.
Hahn couldn't go for more than an hour without another DH to replace Burger Grandal and likely Sheets.
But....

Damn.......he's only 23 years old. This is a good flyer move.
He's 21 on baseball reference

3.67 ERA and 11.8/Ks in High A will work for me. Nice box score return at least.

A couple posts saying this not sure if it's legit.
Joel Sherman is legit so yeah that's that

Burger should be a 2 war player in his first full season and has 5 more seasons of control. I get it for roster flexibility but seems everyone else should be gone first. Return seems light there.

You guys that want to hang onto Robert while this team sucks baffle me. Why? What's the point? I don't think they would trade him, but if they got their socks blown off by an offer why would it be a hard no?
Will this team contend for a championship in 2024? Not a chance.
Will they contend for a championship in 2025? Highly unlikely.
What about 2026? Probably not, maybe. At this point in time we have Robert for one more season, and if he continues to get better you can kiss his ass goodbye as he wont be getting a 350+ million dollar contract to play here.
Because Rick Hahn shouldn't be trading him. Simple as.

Hahn shouldn't be in charge of trading any of those guys other than Clevinger (who has 0 value). Simple as.

You are absolutely correct on that.
Yeah I guess when TA got that home run last night, everything is back to normal. I guess Grifol doesn't think that Benintendi with his .284 BA and .350 OBP isn't that important for the leadoff role, compared to Tim's .245 BA and .286 OBP. Not to mentioned Benintendi leads the team in walks with 36 to Tim's 19 walks. LOL!
I like Benintendi there but Tim is hitting .351 with a .851 OPS since the all star break so I get it

Michael Kopech absolutely came back from 2020 as a guy who needed innings desperately. In 2018, his control was terrible for the first half of the year, I will ask you to go find the game in June where he had half a dozen walks in under 5 innings. Then, he got into a groove with his control for 6 starts or so before he was called up, and then his elbow blew. Aside from this injury, this looked like a guy with promise, but who benefited A LOT from getting innings.
What did the white Sox do post injury? Denied him innings, put him straight into the bullpen. F*** innings for development. Hahn is a god. 2021 title worth everything!
The kid in Oliver Twist who says “please sir I want some more”? He asked Hahn “please sir I want to build my arm muscles” and Hahn’s laugh in reply set off car alarms across Illinois.
Michael Kopech’s worst enemy is Rick Hahn. He demanded things that would destroy Kopech’s career and cost him hundreds of millions of dollars in exchange for his 2021 bullpen season. This set of decisions destroyed his career exactly as expected. Now you are blaming Kopech for the decisions made by Rich Hahn. There is no better way to serve Hahn than this defense.
Well, no, he denied himself innings by sitting out the year. Rick Hahn is awful, yes, though. Then, now, forever.

Will he have to kick Kenny Williams’ ass like Chris Sale for the opportunity?
Or is it on Rick Hahn to tussle with Garrett if Kenny retires in October? If the latter, they should fight at SoxFest to give the fans something entertaining in 2024.
In any event, the White Sox have already wasted four years of his and Kopech’s development to satisfy Tony La Russia’s bullpen fetishes. Can’t blame him and it makes sense at this point to give it one last shot to salvage to at this point is another completely wasted Rick Hahn first round pick.
To be fair, nothing has been wasted of Kopechs time other than his own. Awful mentality. Own worst enemy. That said with expanded rosters, I don't think it's the worst thought to give a 5th+6th combined starter a try. Kopech and Crochet would be perfect. Then of course you need 4 competent starters ahead of them.

lets play "pick a random dodgers prospect"
if he's in the trade, you win 5 fathom points and a bmags hug
I'll go with Nick Frasso as he looks like a bullpen arm that we would say can start
I'll go Landon Knack

Yes. I couldn't get on at all before. Now I can only get on with my phone but I have to turn the wifi off.
EDIT: Looks like it's working with my wifi now.
I had to go on the Sox reddit page to compensate. Holy hell there are still a ton of Hahn defenders left. I had no idea.

Sox have a lot of dummies on their team for sure. Have you seen them play baseball? Eloy in particular makes boneheaded plays resulting in injury, reportedly doesn't think it's necessary to stretch properly before games etc etc.
