Totally fair, and I completely agree.

The Sox don’t need 6 position players to produce 3+ fWAR to be “okay”. The Sox obviously need to add some high end SP, and need Kopech and Cease to be solid Mlb starters next season. There is no doubt about that.

Because you need to fill out your roster. He picked up two veteran SP in Nova and Santana and due to all the injuries we still have spent the last couple weeks with only 3 SP on the roster! Every team picks up guys like this every season. You’re legitimately b****ing about something that all 30 teams do. It’s so silly. Hahn’s short term moves from this offseason haven’t worked out well, no doubt. But they haven’t set the organization back at all, so it doesn’t bear repeating every single day.

I’m not defending the moves and of course I’d rather have Machado than any of the guys you’ve listed. But we don’t. And the guys you listed are all going to be gone very soon, if they aren’t already. Could Hahn have done a better job filling in holes in the roster with short term pieces? Yes. But I’m also not losing my mind over signing guys like Herrera and Santana and taking on Nova when we clearly needed pitching. Santana was a flop but he cost the organization nothing. No one expected Nova and Herrera to be this bad. Sometimes things don’t work out, and Hahn has had more than his fair share of those. But I’m just not going to lose my mind over short term stop gap players that will all be gone before this team is ready to compete.

Someday you’ll realize that the Sox weren’t trying to compete in 2019, and that all of those moves were clearly filler until more pieces from the farm were ready. Only one of those guys are even under control in 2020!!! But sure, keep repeating the same tired bullshit every single day if it makes you happy. You’ve single handedly decreased the quality of this message board significantly. It sucks because you clearly know baseball and can have intelligent discussion, but you prefer to just repeat the same shit everyday.

Quintana at $10.5M is definitely going to command more than an organizational player. The guy is at worst a rock solid back of the rotation pitcher getting paid appropriately. The Cubs are not going to give him away.

Who gives a fuck dude? Alonso sucked. He clearly was acquired to try to help with Machado. It didn’t work out. He’s no longer on the roster. It was definitely a bad trade, but it’s not like the Sox have up anything of value, and it will have no negative impact moving forward.

Classic

Sample sizes are your friend.

Leury, Moncada, Abreu, McCann, Jay, Jimenez, Yolmer, Collins DH, Cordell not much to complain about here. Wouldn’t mind seeing Jay in CF and Palka in RF but this works too.

Interested to see this lineup.

Hamilton and Burdi should be healthy for next year. Hamilton will be in the pen. Burdi is a big question mark at this point, but I suppose the knee is better than an arm injury.

Ya in a White Sox thread discussing Yonder Alonso you guys are off talking about Cubs players. This thread was literally about Quintana, and I responded to the OP question. This board spends so much time discussing meaningless Cubs bullshit it’s insane. I apologize if it seemed like I was attacking you - it’s obviously not just you, and that was not my intention. Just gets annoying to weed through.

Can’t put guys in the minors on the MLB 60 day IL. Ryan Burr is the only one could can go on 60 day.

Is Hansen hurt too right now? Thought he’s just been bad in AA, but healthy so far this season.

I do preferred Mendick. But Cordell can definitely play the IF if need be. He played a lot of infield in the minors, though the Sox have yet to use him there at all in minors or majors.

Gonna be tough for Burdi to return from this one and the TJS.

TJS as well. Just brutal.

Multiple facial fractures after getting hit in face with foul ball. JFC what an afternoon.

Assuming Moncada has to sit and the Sox have a boner for Leury at SS right now, why not go with this lineup again RHP: Leury SS, Jay CF, Abreu 1B, McCann C, Palka RF, Eloy LF, Collins DH, Sanchez 2B, Rondon 3B If you're going to have Palka on the roster with Collins, you best be prepared to play him in OF, otherwise he makes absolutely zero sense on the roster.

Leury SS, Jay RF, Abreu 1B, McCann C, Palka DH, Eloy LF, Sanchez 2B, Tilson CF, Rondon 3B lol. Palka already taking Collins at bats.

Meh, don't really buy that. If that is the case, why ever announce SP beforehand?

Very limited options. It was basically Detwiler or Kubat who has just 9 starts above A ball. I guess they could have just got with Cease today and not used his last night in AAA, but clearly they're in no hurry there.

Detwiler threw 2 innings on Monday. Probably won't be expected to go more than 4 innings or so, if he can make it that far. Expect this to be a short stint in the majors for Ross - expect Santiago and Covey back next week.

Detwiler it is.
