Given the rest of their roster, the outfield they have is plenty good enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 20 minutes ago, fathom said: Not a fan of their outfield to be honest It depends which Pham you're getting...coming off a number of issues this off-season. If he's healthy and motivated, he can be a Top 10-15 NL outfielder. Myers was insane last year, so nowhere to go but back down. Grisham was perhaps the biggest surprise of the season, along with Cronenworth. How repeatable are either of their seasons? The actual key to that offense taking off was those two, along with the addition of Nola at catcher over Hedges. Hosmer is Hosmer. Of course, they've also got that top KBO middle infielder as insurance now, but the loss of Profar stings a bit (for now.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every move they make strikes a weird jealous nerve in me. Great for them, and it does seem like Musgrove netted quite a bit of a return here. I'm not mad that the White Sox didn't match it/go for it with the return on Musgrove so far, but yeh it sucks for us. Dude, you already said you were flying the coop to go live in the Western Metal Supply Company building. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iWiN4PreP Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 White Sox need another starter Trevor bauer would be A+, amazing, super fantastic But realizing that was a long shot, the few SPs I was looking at where: Musgrove, Kluber as most obtainable, now both are gone. Woodruff/Castillo as hardest/impossible to get, and now Castillo is off the market as far as we know and Woodruff was never really on it. Burnes would have been borderline acceptable due to high price and high risk. As of now it's looking more and more like we are getting garbage can Quintana or broken Garret Richards. Bogus.

South Side Hit Men Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 I've been a Padres fan since October 1984. Loved the Chargers back then too, with Kellen Winslow, Dan Fouts and Charlie Joiner. Hope the Padres and White Sox win a World Series over the next few seasons. This trade helps the Mets as well, so happy on that front. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm so used to disappointment as a fan of the Sox that it barely makes me upset anymore. It's expected. I just wish they wouldn't send signals like they are going to be different and insult our intelligence. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love what they are doing right now. My dad is a Dodger fan with a secondary rooting interest in the White Sox, as we call Chicagoland home. If the Sox and Dodgers met in the WS, we'd be on opposite sides. I am the opposite. I only root for the Dodgers when the Sox are eliminated. One of my dad's favorite moments is the Kirk Gibson thing from 88. I wish Podsednik's walkoff in 05 got the same amount of play from MLB because it was equally as improbable. Hopefully it does with the Sox return to national prominence. A big hell no to being a Padres fan.

maloney.adam Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 (edited) I agree with James on this. The Sox need to change their strategy on the type of players they draft. They draft too many college players that are older. Edited January 19, 2021 by maloney.adam 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigHurt3515 Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 I wish we would have been the 3rd team involved and brought Lucchesi here, would have been a solid 5th starter or rotation depth for pretty cheap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the reason for drafting College players. Now that the bulk of the ML positions are filled, they can move towards this long term approach.
