So instead of scouting, we are taking the word of a guy who hasn't seen this kid live in a year. Quality work there White Sox.

Yeah, I would imagine they go back to starting him in spring training again next year. You give it a few months and see what happens.

People are no longer thinking of him as a centerpiece of the rebuild for sure. They are taking in this new information and adjusting expectations.

For a Fedde, the price that was paid by SD for Mark from TB would have been perfect.

Uh, wat?

Is your name Getz?

Both the one they asked St Louis for, and the one they got from LAD.

I now expect it, not fear it.

bye, bye, bye

Are they grading on a curve? Literally only the Cardinals won that trade on Day 1.

Yeah, we effectively benched some combination of Colas, Fletcher, and/or DeLoach so that we could send cash to the Cards to take him.

I would be shocked if he spoke to anyone about these comments before he said them, because anyone with a vested interest in the White Sox would have known how stupid and short sighted they were.

I will also accept this answer.

And waste a year for evaluations? Absurd.

Captain Panic strikes again.

Efficiency at its finest.

Hold me, I'm scared. Hearing Chris talk about his hurt feeling over Crochet wanting an extension, I can only imagine the haircut we take on him now.

This is something.

Because apparently the Sox are broke.

White Sox fans wanted Kenny Williams fired, because it couldn't get worse. Then came Rick Hahn. Then they wanted Rick Hahn fired because it couldn't get worse. Then came Chris Getz. White Sox fans wanted Ricky Renteria fired, because it couldn't get worse. Then Tony was AED'd back into existence. Instantly Sox fans wanted him fired, because it couldn't get any worse. Then they dug up Pedro. I think the lesson is we need to stop believing that Jerry can't go lower.

He came into this year with 142 days of service so he has to be somewhere just after one full year of service, leaving him 5 years of control.

I can't wait to see us waste $50 million this offseason.

No. Current year draft picks can't be PTBNL until after the World Series.
