Sox get Mike MacDougal for Tyler Lumsden and Daniel Cortes

If MacDougal is tied up through 2008, then this was a deal well worth making. We need pitching, and if we can't fix our rotation, we had damn well better have an airtight bullpen.

 

The only problem with that theory is that Ozzie then has to use the bullpen properly. Which means yanking starters like Vazquez at the very first sign of concern.

Or Brandon jumps on a flight to DC . . .

 

ESPN News just reported the deal, and they mentioned that MacDougal could take BMacs spot if/when he goes to Washington.

I don't think I'll ever understand why people here spiff a brick when a "good" prospect is traded. If I had a dollar for all the SURE prospects that came into town and did absolutely nothing, I wouldn't need a job.

 

Prospects are nothing more than prospects until they do something.

 

i lolled at that

I think we should try to find a way to jam KW's cell phone so as to prevent this from happening.

I like the deal. MacDougal has good stuff. Cortes didn't thrill me. Lumsden is a good arm to give up, but MacDougal is a good arm we should have for a few years. :headbang

My sentiments exactly, I can't wait to see MacDougal's power arm in the Sox' pen. KW knew this team needed a proven righty setup man and he got the job done.

The White Sox can not possibly use all of the prospects they have on the major league roster. Hence, it is ok to trade some. There are not a lot of pitchers on the current roster that will be leaving in the next 3 years. I still like what we have in our minor leagues right now.

i hope he's willing to hit batters or his ass is gonna be in AAA

:lol:

 

I'm with Kalapse and danman on this one. MacDougal has great stuff. When you mix gas like Thornton, MacDougal, and Jenks...wow.
