That's, um, not supposed to happen. It does if you’re unable to give them opportunities and they start aging out / slow down. What’s your plan for Basabe, Gonzalez, Adolfo, Rutherford, & Walker?

They're all trade bait, and I wouldn't lose sleep over any of them. Edited December 3, 2019 by Jack Parkman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's, um, not supposed to happen. Which is why you trade some of them for other things. There's 5 guys there for one position, and you're probably better off looking to FA/Trade to fill that spot anyway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I’m getting at is at some point prospects do age out and/or require 40 man roster spots, so you can’t hold onto them indefinitely. Keep the ones that you think will develop into quality players and trade the others before teams realize their flaws. Strong self-scouting is essential to optimizing player value.

Dick Allen Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 The White Sox used to play rent a RF in the 90s. Ellis Burks, DJ, Mike Devereaux, Danny Tartabull, and Dave Martinez until finally Maggs broke through. It was pretty amazing as all of them were pretty good with the Sox.

I'm just amazed that the Sox go through a rebuild and people are so desperate to win that all the scouts on this board are willing to dump years of control for 1 year of a decent player. Didn't we hear the same shit about Semien, Bassitt , Phegley, Ravelo who are all still getting MLB appearances with an MVP candidate in the group ,while Samardzija is long gone and Michael Ynoa hasn't pitched in MLB for 2 years.

So some think they are non prospects already and some believe they still have value after so so years after injuries and playing in Death Valley at AA but you can fool all of baseball into thinking they still have upside. Got it. So basically saying if you believe they actually do have value you are a fool but the rest of MLB are fools too.

I'm a big Heuer guy too. Kid has very good stuff despite the K numbers not quite being there. Watched him alot last season in Birmingham. Joc is one of my favorites for RF out of all the other players mentioned by some other posters. I'd be all in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChiSox59 Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 Honestly though, I wouldn’t trade Adolfo for Joc. Adolfo is going to be a dude at some point. We’ve made it this far with him, you can’t move him at his lowest value in years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chisox378 Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 That's a fair trade. They may even make out a little since Colome is such an important piece for a contending team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
