They must have been ridiculously high on Gregorius. They could have gotten Asdrubal Cabrera, but wanted Gregorius instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3E8 Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 I disliked the Chris Young trade for Cliff Pennington earlier in the offseason too. Kevin Towers is confusing me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PolishPrince34 Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 The Brandon McCarthy signing was also confusing. They are stacked in the rotation and ton of young starting pitching talent coming up. I guess you can never have enough pitching. Kennedy, Cahill, Hudson, McCarthy, Skaggs, Corbin, Miley, Collmenter. They have by far the most starting pitching to deal. Just not sure Bauer for shortstop Didi Gregorius was the right move. Towers has always been shaky as a GM.

southsider2k5 Posted December 12, 2012 Author Share Posted December 12, 2012 QUOTE (PolishPrince34 @ Dec 11, 2012 -> 08:52 PM) That's shocking!!! How they just gave up on Bauer? I think his stubbornness and not willing to change his pitching approach got him shipped out. Wish the White Sox would of jumped on that. QUOTE (DirtySox @ Dec 11, 2012 -> 09:10 PM) I've heard similar things. Which would make him an automatic no go for Cooper and the White Sox.

I'd be interested in Collmenter as a RHP option. He was misused in the bullpen last year and his bb to k ratio is excellent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
