Believe #WhiteSox were outbid. Also heard they wowed Luis Robert w/ video presentation from Renteria/Moncada/Abreu. bit.ly/2pWFhDj

 

 

Wow

 

How lucky can you get? This is a huge step forward in a group that needs all of the positional talent it can get. The Cuban pipeline and being a player friendly organization really did work out for them. Kudos to Hahn and the front office, now it is time to pray it works.

Hahn got his guy. Just hoping the minor league coaches can do their jobs grooming all these new prospects.

I think past problems were more to do with bad draft picks and not bad development. Can't polish a turd, lol.

Sounds like preparation met opportunity. Kudos to the FO.

Gordon Beckham, Aaron Poreda, Courtney Hawkins, Jared Mitchell, don't make me go back to the decade prior to those.

Exactly. I get what SS is saying, but have to give the FO a lot of credit here. They focused in on an angle no one else could sell, and hit a HR.

 

I have said all along the Sox have a great case to make to Robert. I will be curious what the monetary difference in bids was though.

Saw a BA chat yesterday that once scouts saw Hawkins play in the minors in 2013, they knew he was a wasted pick

Also if that is true it seems pretty unlikely they trade Abreu.

Honestly, I think it probably makes sense to keep Abreu and make him our DH. I think there would be teams willing to trade for him, but I think what he brings to the clubhouse and on the field would be more valuable than those prospects.

 

So with that said, here's my projected 2020 lineup:

 

1B: Pavin Smith (2017 1st round pick)

2B: Yoan Moncada

SS: Tim Anderson

3B: Josh Donaldson (2018-19 free agent)

LF: Juan Soto (Robertson trade)

CF: Luis Robert

RF: Clint Frazier (Quintana trade)

DH: Jose Abreu

C: Zack Collins

Are you saying these players would have developed in another teams farm system?

you mean a farm system not ranked in the bottom 10 of the league?

 

is that a real question?

I'd be muy happy with that... Rutherford and Frazier are a toss up to me from NY. Would fall in love with Hahn / Rizzo if we got Soto for D-Rob.

Jose is the last guy we need to worry about moving.
