If you have a hitter that you believe will be a star and he's MLB ready, you just don't trade them period. It's not even a question of what is worth more...they simply aren't available. That said that's why I was hoping we could bag Kyle Tucker in a deal before the season starts. Because it wouldn't surprise me if he played himself in to unavailable-ness by mid-season as well. Of course, Rogers reports that is already the case, who knows if that's true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You never know how things unfold. In all reality, if Giolitto or Moncada had come up and set the world on fire, I really doubt either is a White Sox today. I know there is the possibility that Q struggles this year, but the chances of the trade targets we have been talking about struggling is WAY higher. Houston could well be shooting themselves in the foot by not being willing to deal these guys today. Six months from now the Sox might not want them.

Rowand44 Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 If the Sox traded Q straight up for Bregman I'd be pretty pissy about it. I'd do it in a heartbeat if I'm the Astros but I'm not sure that the actual Astros would do it. But I don't know that either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YouCanPutItOnTheBoardYES! Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 Given their circumstances, Houston should trade Bregman for Q 100% of the time and never look back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see why they wouldn't want to if they are that high on Bregman. Like I said earlier, I think their rotation can be good if they can stay healthy. I'm sure they will have interest in June/July because I think they'll have an injury to someone or maybe a youngster like Musgrove isn't doing too good in his first full season. I at want them to stay close in the race with a need for a starter just so they're in the mix. Edited February 10, 2017 by soxfan2014 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackSox13 Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 The Astros farm is plenty deep enough to get a deal done without Musgrove, Martes and Tucker but the Astros have to be willing to part with quantity. Something like Paulino, Reed, Fisher, Laureano and one of Whitley/Perez might do the trick. Not the deal any of us Sox fans prefer but it would add depth from A ball to the big League club. That said, at this point I expect Q to be the opening day starter for your Chicago White Sox. I'm fine with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We still have Shields, Holland, mystery starter #5, Avi and the entire outfield to help with the suckdom. It wasn't going to be an epic suck anyway as long as Frazier, Melky and Abreu are on the team but it did have all the possibilities of being a righteously sucking team. Sigh, what might have been...

bighurt574 Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 Bregman put up 1.8 WAR and 1.0 fWAR in 1/3 of a season last year at age 22. He's under team control for six more years. I can certainly see why HOU wouldn't trade him for Q straight up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
