Rowand44 Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 16, 2017 -> 05:16 PM) Yes they care way too much about hitting stats in ST No they don't. May is a half assed prospect that they were willing to give a shot to in a year like this because why not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 Can we still trade Buxton for Anderson? Not sure which to be more concerned about, but probably this latest Buxton start to a season after how he finished last year and looked to be finally turning the corner.

May is a half assed prospect that they were willing to give a shot to in a year like this because why not. Davidson was gonna be the opening day DH and then he isn't because Asche had a good spring. I don't think anyone thought May would be opening day starter as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think anyone thought May would be opening day starter as well They played their way into spots with good springs because there is bad competition, it happens with literally every team. Especially in a year like this, it was going to happen. They're not putting too much stock in spring training at bats, they decided to give some guys who may have some upside but aren't top prospects a chance.

Chicago White Sox Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Apr 16, 2017 -> 05:23 PM) The problem is it isn't going to clikck. He needs more time in AAA. Obviously you would expect him to at least get a hit here and there, but his struggling terribly should surprise no one. Bourjos sucks, but if you think May has potential, he should be playing in Charlotte until he has success there,at the very least. Oh I agree, but May is such a fringey prospect to begin with that I'm ok letting him sink or swim. I came into the season with the expectation that May would be an epic fail (all you had to do was look at his AAA numbers), but that's still better than what Bourjos would have provided in the grand scheme of things. Don't get me wrong, Bourjos would have been the better player, but wins don't matter right now and he would not have been nearly good enough to have any real trade upside.

One of the prospects he acquires does s***ty, well everybody will say, "Not all the prospects will pan out. Most will." Nice work if you can get it. This rebuild is SLOW, too slow for my tastes. Just win baby. LOL. You complain about a slow rebuild three weeks into said rebuild. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 (edited) Feeling sorry for May...except that $3000 per day and small chance at a lifetime pension like Carroll earned.
