Quick question on bummer. If what you hear is bad why don’t the whitesox move to surgery to fix so he is ready by spring training or at least by opening day next year? The Sox have done this before wait and rehab only to have it bite them later. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ray Ray is a good poster but sometimes he needs to dial it down a touch. He seemed to be in a mood all day.

It's ironic, but I respect your commitment to it. I'm glad you got the boards approval and that makes you feel better. I didn't realize e-dap was the decider, but if it is my ratio is slightly better. Also what "names" did I call you lol?

Sorry but coming into a thread in which you weren't engaged to attack a poster who was, when you havent even discussed the thread topic in the first place, is a prick move. If we're talking about things we would rather not see disrupting a thread, there you go. Edited August 31, 2020 by Vulture 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sox should look to be aggressive this offseason to add a SP via FA or trade. Kopech/Stiever/Lambert/Flores provide additional SP depth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It made way too much sense for them to deal him at peak value and the declined to. Sox made the right call to not overpay I'm actually surprised the rangers didn't accept a lesser package, they really needed to move him. what a strange decision Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With a normal offseason and like 7 weeks of Spring Training, he ought to be as ready to go as anyone else, unless this is to claw back that year of service time, which would be a weird thing to do in what should be a competitive year.

He will not have pitched in real games in 2 1/2 years. Who knows what he is doing now. He is healthy but they have no idea what they will have in him. It will take awhile to figure it out.

iWiN4PreP Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 I think the biggest losers here are the Texas Rangers. They somehow didn't move Lynn, their biggest piece. They were mad that they didn't move Mike Minor last year at peak value, their going to be mad that they didn't move Lynn at peak value, Foolish of them to ask so much. Our White Sox were no good at the deadline, I give them a minor Loss here, but hey, it would have been 100x worse to give away our top guys for rentals, so i'm fine with it all.

When the season starts next year, it will be about 2 and a half years since he's thrown a competitive pitch. He is absolutely starting the year in the minors. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
