Tomas Posted Thursday at 04:03 PM Share Posted Thursday at 04:03 PM I was sitting here wondering if we had the right decision making baseball people in our system we could have had a great starting rotation. Cease, Sale, Rodon and Crochet. Nothing but fools run our organization. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For example, if we don't trade Sale, why do we trade Quintana to wait a few years for Cease to get here and break out, with Sale and Rodon on a big contract? 4 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree...it would be different if Cease was drafted by the White Sox...and even then it would be hard to imagine Sale lasting this long (even though he has missed a bit of time in his career).

BrittBurnsFan Posted Thursday at 04:48 PM Share Posted Thursday at 04:48 PM All organizations have these situations...I still would have loved to have watched the White Sox figure out how to use Tatis, Jr, Semien and TA all at the same time when they were young...

Not to mention we would have had to extend Sale at market rate AND we would have suffered through a lot of pretty big injury years, and during the meantime we would have had to give a market rate extension to Carlos Rodon, while still trading Jose Quintana at his peak value and performance (while on his cheap extension) and still managed to be in the position to draft Garrett Crochet. It might be a fun thought exercise, but too many wild variables for it to be a realistic one. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tnetennba Posted Thursday at 04:52 PM Share Posted Thursday at 04:52 PM If they keep Sale, there isn't a real path to acquire Cease. Rodon didn't become this version until after being non-tendered. Crochet might not even be in the org as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That at least is a bit more realistic, but I get it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
46DidIt Posted Thursday at 06:40 PM Share Posted Thursday at 06:40 PM Cease, Lopez, Rodon, Fedde and Crochet could have reasonably happened though, which would have been the best rotation in baseball based on ‘24 performances 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or that they would have heavily invested in Lopez when they didn’t know how to effectively utilize him with the Sox over many years?
