CWSpalehoseCWS Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 Good get by Hahn. Nice to have some under-the-radar prospects that don't have a lot of hype surrounding them. Hopefully he bounces back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaliSoxFanViaSWside Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jul 27, 2017 -> 08:53 AM) Should be dealt? Holland, Shields, and MiGo should also be dealt. Whether they are or not is anyone's guess, personally I think only MiGo is dealt, but all three should go Umm so who would start games if all 3 got traded ? I'm sure all the kids are reaching the upper limits of their innings count . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mataipaepae Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 QUOTE (miracleon35th @ Jul 27, 2017 -> 05:59 PM) We need a young, premier third base prospect ...or two.

Bob Sacamano Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 (edited) If you trade 2 guys and you don't bring up Giolito? Lopez and I guess Holmberg? Edited July 28, 2017 by soxfan2014 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaliSoxFanViaSWside Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 Gillaspie falls right in line with the recent Sox M.O.of power and OBP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenSox Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 Jennings did yeoman work this year. He was over-used but largely effective. Don't get the exuberance for Gilaspie. .667 OPS, another corner player, like most acquisitions and most of the draft.Very little up the middle. Light on pitching.

Former top 100 prospect, still 24, former first round draft pick, a guy that could potentially be on the roster early next season (maybe Opening Day if he hits in Spring Training?). Gives us another young position player to watch over the next 2 seasons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soxforlife05 Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 Pretty good trade. Jennings wouldn't have much use for us. 1st round pick, had a good year in AAA in 2016 but having a down year this year. Still hasn't seen the majors. Turned 24 in January.

soxforlife05 Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 (edited) QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 27, 2017 -> 09:43 AM) It probably is what Jennings is worth, but no excitement whatsoever from me over him. Offensive struggles is something the White Sox haven't been able to fix in years. I don't know why it would start now. Given his defensive position, he is going to have to hit a lot to be a viable player. I don't see getting traded to the White Sox organization his big break. Well Davidson was able to get righted even though he hasn't been amazing or anything. He went from looking like a AAA bust for years to a major league player.

I was just looking at his numbers (specifically K% and BB%) and this season's numbers really aren't too far from his career numbers. They're fairly consistent from year to year. Maybe he has hit into some bad luck? Edited July 28, 2017 by soxfan2014 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleHurt05 Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 Good start for Jennings in a Rays jersey, two batters faced, two singles given up. ERA & WHIP are infinity. Fun with sample sizes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you consider us to be l"light on pitching" what the heck do you think about nearly every other mlb farm system??? Last I checked we have Yoan Moncada up the middle, Robert/Cordell/Engel in CF We have greatly added depth all over the diamond in the past 12 months Edited July 28, 2017 by steveno89 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last I checked we have Yoan Moncada up the middle, Robert/Cordell/Engel in CF We have greatly added depth all over the diamond in the past 12 months I don't disagree with him. System as a whole is very light on shortstops, with some possible future depth in Lenyn Sosa and Curbelo down, way way down. Mendick is now playing 2b so hard to know what he's viewed at. Pitching wise we are good compared to most systems, but I think there is a good case to be made we need some more lefties and variety. We have a lot of power arms which could blow up.

We very well could be looking SS high in the 2018 draft, or power college arm like Singer? We did pick up Yrizarri, who is a fringe prospect, but still a prospect nonetheless. Expect us to work very hard scouting the 2018 draft which is deep in talent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're extremely light on middle infielders, there's no argument there. I guess you could make the argument we need more variety of pitchers down there(I personally don't care) but to say we're light on pitching isn't true.

Of course not. I didn't want to stop targeting pitching when people were going bonkers that we had no offensive talent in the system. Just keep acquiring the best talent possible.
