Chicago White Sox

I’ll never understand this idea of holding onto a pending free agent while 21 games under .500 at the deadline when you can trade said player and then use payroll saving to sign a replacement when needed. Giolito making 10 starts for us in August & September does nothing soften our boredom for two months.

He is yes. Kelly had a bad inning tonight so he’s valueless. And a former 2 win SS who is a pending free agent didn’t go for much, so obviously Tim isn’t going to return anything at all.

First off, Ryan Pepiot is no longer a top 100 prospect. The difference between Rushing & Quero isn’t all that substantial. I’d put the difference in what we just received and my proposed return at about one year of Tim Anderson as a 3 win player. Seems like my valuation was pretty much on the money.

Show me where I said he was worth two? I’ll hang up and listen.

Also, BA just released an updated top 10 for the Sox. Here’s my guess where these guys would slot in: Colson Montgomery, SS (#28) Noah Schultz, LHP (#41) Edgar Quero, C (#84) Oscar Colas, OF Bryan Ramos, 3B Christian Mena, RHP Peyton Pallette, RHP Jonathon Cannon, RHP Ky Bush, LHP Jose Rodriguez, SS However, it’s possible that Bush falls out of the top 10 altogether when the draft picks are added. Gonzalez should slot in 4th and Taylor somewhere around 10 to 12.

Very nice return. @Balta1701 - You going to admit you were wrong about Lucas commanding a top 100 prospect?

Very true…imagine an infield defense with him at 2B, Burger at 3B, and Vaughn at 1B.

How would Hiura fit though?

Just realized that this is the end of the Adam Eaton trade for us. Pretty fitting that Lucas & Reynaldo go out in the same move. Pretty sad the rebuild pretty much kicked off with those guys and nearly seven years later we have very little to show for it.

That “tool” has Burger valued higher than Gasser, who just cracked the end of BA’s latest top 100 list. That would be a trade that could make sense for both sides.

Feels like a Trader Kenny trade to me. For those that said he never sold off pieces, he did pull off a massive heist with that Freddie Garcia for Gavin Floyd & Gio Gonzalez trade.

Going to collect these as moves are made to see how accurate this trade calculator actually is or if there are signs of a trade deadline premium.

This is actually a really good trade for us.

Not my proposal at least

His power is lacking this year, but got to love those plate discipline rates for a 20 year old catcher in AA.

We got a top 100 prospect for Giolito. Isn’t that what most of the optimists were expecting?

Write-up on Bush:

Write-up on Quero:

2nd and 4th overall prospects for the Angels in the recently updated Baseball America rankings. Quero is the 84th overall prospect per BA.

Exclude Robert & Cease and those other guys combine 1.8 fWAR. You’d have to be absolutely insane to believe they make up a strong enough.

Winning percentage now below .400. Just an absolute disaster of a season and there is only one man to blame. The guy who doesn’t value power, plate discipline, athleticism, speed, or defense but loved himself an expensive reliever.

Which I believe, but how the hell do they think they can compete then?

20 games under .500 when we were supposed to be talking about parades…free us from this lawyer speaking asshole

Hopefully he’s in timeout until he quietly resigns in October to “take a break from baseball” or some other bullshit they come up with to pretend he wasn’t fired.
