ChiSox59 Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 If that’s the full deal, I’m slightly underwhelmed. It’s not a terrible return, but this isn’t what I would define as “steep” by any means. Zavala is definitely a nice get. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's more than the dooms dayers said but it's not more than I expected so pretty bummed with the hype. Honestly feels about right for cease.

caulfield12 Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 (edited) This is where all that international spending is paying off again...we are cornering the market on Venezuela. Bring back Ozzie lol. https://www.prospectslive.com/scoutingreports/samuel-zavala EVALUATOR: MATT THOMPSON Age: 16 yr Height: 6-1 Weight: 178 lbs Hits/Throws: L/L Acquired: 2020 IFA RuleV: 2025 Overall: Padres signed the 6'2", 180 pound Zavala out of Venezuela for $1.2 million. Zavala is a left-handed hitter with a future up the middle projection due to his strong defensive traits. It's a contact over power offensive skill set, but the power should come as he gets stronger. He's one of the younger players in the class but also has one of the better swings, taking advantage of his quick hands.

DirtySox Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 I like the deal plenty. Thorpe is just about a top 50 prospect, Zavala has a great profile, and I like what I'm reading about Iciarte. I could see him making a big jump. This is a pretty significant injection into the farm system. Let's see what we can do with them. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheFutureIsNear Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 (edited) Well…we clearly overvalued Cease’s worth. Fully expecting Orioles fans to flood back here. I assume Getz knows he will never be able to sign even an above average SP under age 35 on the open market so prioritized getting 2 arms that could be in the rotation in the near future. Zavala seems very interesting and complete opposite of every other White Sox player in that he gets on base. I don’t think this trade is a catastrophe or anything…but hard not to feel foolish about what we expected vs what we got Edit: If Iriarte can’t be a starter this might be a catastrophe.

Jake Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 Seems like Thorpe has a not-unreasonable chance to outperform Cease as soon as this season. The other guys are riskier although you'd expect Iriarte to at least reach the MLB bullpen if reasonably healthy. Zavala more of a lottery ticket but interesting. Wilson is a weird add although he probably makes the games more watchable this year. He may be flipped at the deadline for something useful. Thorpe being basically ready for MLB with high-ceiling is a lot of upside in my view: up to 7 years of production. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

South Side Hit Men Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 (edited) 2 hours ago, poppysox said: How old are you:?? 54, hoping to live for at least a few more decades. Luke Appling (retired 1950) the last White Sox for life Hall of Famer elected, before all of our time. Ted Lyons and Red Faber were the only other two White Sox. Frank Thomas should have been the fourth on this list. 2 hours ago, Harold's Leg Lift said: What a fantastic trade. The new guy done did good! Agreed. Can always nitpick, but without knowing all the offers/counteroffers among the three - four rumored teams the past few days, I'm happy with the haul. Patience turned into far more than what the Orioles gave up in the Burnes trade, and definitely most certainly more than what Hahn would have acquired. Now start working on the hitting additions the next two years to supplement Montgomery, Ramos, Quero, hopefully Gonzalez and others.
