Con te Giolito Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 Will royals go after Jose Quintana with ventura passing. They really would have to fly their entire system into the sun to pull it off and inter-divisional trades of this magnitude are risky for all involved.

Con te Giolito Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 (edited) If Keller-Newman-Glasnow+1 is the best deal on the table I have no problem waiting until the eve of ST to take that deal. That's a decent, definitely not great, return. Its still probably better than what they get at the deadline or next offseason. This is why I'm not "sky is falling" over anything, its entirely possible that Hahn is just playing chicken.

Even if you throw out the division aspect, I don't see them having a top end position player future star that would catch the Sox interest.

No. They are all out. The Sox are stuck with Jose Quintana. If anyone ranks pitchers and he doesn't get ranked in the top 5 or 10, whoever is ranking them is a fool. And if RH values him like a top 5 or 10, he is asking for way too much. I mean, he's only signed for 4 more years. Take what you can get, and be done with it. There is no time to spare.

steveno89 Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Jan 23, 2017 -> 09:25 AM) I could argue that Meadows and Glasnow is a better haul than the Sale deal. No chance that happens for Q IMO. Meadows has had injury problems, whereas Moncada has been healthy as far as I know. That does play a factor in prospect value. Glasnow's upside is considerable, but some scouts appear to be down on him because the control has not really developed and he still walks too many batters. Meadows + Glasnow is similar in return to Moncada + Kopech. It's arguable which is a "better" return, but Kopech is three years younger than Glasnow and still has quite a bit of projection left. Moncada > Meadows, not by a massive margin, but the injury history certainly gives Moncada the edge Glasnow > Kopech right now, but not by a huge margin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bighurt574 Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 (edited) For a top prospect like Glasnow, scouts sure seem pretty split on him. If the Sox' scouts and coaches aren't sold, then he's not much of a headliner. Plain and simple. We're not just going by prospect rankings here. It's entirely possible the Sox just don't like him all that much. If the Sox value him as a top 10 prospect, I suspect a deal would probably be done by now.

Glasnow on his own is not a good enough prospect to headline a Quintana deal 5.2 BB/9 in the minors this season does not make anyone warm and fuzzy about his control developing. I am not saying he can't or will not improve, but right now he seems like the kind of pitcher that will rack up a bunch of k's, but also a bunch of 5+ walk games leading to maddening inconsistency Glasnow + Keller + Newman + one more is not the right package for the White Sox. We need at least one premium bat and one premium arm coming back to us in order to deal Quintana Something along the liens of: Meadows + Glasnow + Diaz + Comp Balance Pick for Quintana Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one is arguing that just because Spring Training is around the corner it's game over. I personally dont like the chances after the Trade Deadline.

elrockinMT Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 The only reason to think we should ask for a lower return for Q is panic setting in. We don't have to trade Quintana and most certainly not for a less return then what he is worth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
