SoxBlanco Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 For those who had to look up the names like me: Tyler Gilbert is the guy who threw a no hitter in his first major league start a few years ago. He’s 31 years old. Bullpen piece. Aaron Combs was our 8th round pick in the most recent draft. Also a bullpen guy. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timmy U Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 Combs looks like a piece that doesn’t need 40 man protection for several years. Gilbert is a DFA that may or may not make the team. I don’t know wtf they are thinking. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harold's Leg Lift Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 Last year they traded 32 year old left handed reliever Tanner Banks for a player better than Aaron Combs. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestEddy Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 Combs had a BB/9 over 4 in his college career. Gilbert had a nice line in AAA Lehigh Valley in 24. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lip Man 1 Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 I'm guessing they are hoping he has a good first half and can get something for him otherwise it doesn't make a lot of sense to trade a kid in his early 20's for a 31 year old journeyman.

Chicago White Sox Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 This kind of reminds me when Hahn kept trading international bonus slot to other teams for minor league relief prospects. Hopefully this “acquire all the unproven LH relievers in the 30’s that are a tweak away from real trade value” strategy works out better because this one in particular doesn’t make sense to me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the argument is that Combs had a high walk rate in college, then that means Shirley made a bad draft pick. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was the 229th pick. Most of those picks have glaring issues. Come on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
