Was the #1 prospect. Sure he’s a DH, but he’s a gamble worth taking. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure he’s a DH, but he’s a gamble worth taking. And he hasn’t hit since his rookie season, in the majors or minors. Also, we already have a sub-.800 OPS DH that hits nothing but ground balls and people can’t wait until he is gone. Now we want another one? I guess at least Walker would be cheap… Edited July 29 by WhiteSox2023 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted July 29 Share Posted July 29 4 minutes ago, ChiSox59 said: Yeah, I’m not as anti Walker as some seem to be. Dude was a consensus top 5 prospect in the game 350 days ago. It’s gonna be tough to find more upside for Fedde, plus he still has 5 years of control even if Sox brought him straight up post trade. Not saying I love it or it’s without risk, but the talent is there. Sounds like Cards rebuffed the request anyway. And no matter if you like the Sox ability to fix him, the Sox need superstar ceilings badly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah now that I’m reading some articles it seems Edman probably has more value than I thought. Seems kinda crazy to me giving up any prospect with real value for a guy like Edman. But I’m also aware my opinion on this is worthless, so hopefully I’m way wrong and that trade can work out in our favor. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DFAthewave69420 Posted July 29 Share Posted July 29 Best case Jordan Walker has a career in right like Jermaine Dye. Worth a shot for a lottery ticket free agent signing. Parlay the Fedde ticket, Getz. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If only we could find a Bannister equivalent to revamp or organizational hitting program. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure he’s a DH, but he’s a gamble worth taking. You may be right. But his minor-league numbers were bad last year and they are even worse this year. He hit better in the majors than the minors last year. I don’t know if that was just happenstance or what. and I just hate to start the rebuild off with a bad defender. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have to start at some point so may as well start with someone with huge upside. They should probably be going for much higher ceilings instead of higher floors if they want to dig themselves out of this. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheFutureIsNear Posted July 29 Share Posted July 29 I sill fail to see what appealing prospects either the Cardinals or Dodgers can offer…other than taking the gamble on Walker. Something like… White Sox out- Fedde White Sox in- Victor Scott, Leonardo Bernal and Josue DePaula Dodgers out- DePaula Dodgers in- Edman Cardinals out- Edman, Scott, Bernal Cardinals in: Fedde But even that feels very underwhelming honestly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too much given up by Dodgers. I wonder if Bernal has to go to the Dodgers here. That feels more right and the Sox sending Brebbia or something to the Cards as well 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let’s hold up a bit on that comparison, Jermaine Dye has a hell of a career before he had to sign a prove it contract with the Sox because he broke his leg 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
