They missed it with him, no question.

 

It's just so frustrating when you see what Melacon and Bailey brought back for their teams. Another reason why there's such a diminishing amount of talent in the Sox organization.

At least Trayce Thompson isn't leading the Southern League.

 

That's progress.

 

If all four of those outfielders fail...then, just wow. Buddy Bell, so long, goodbye. Paddy's not exactly causing one to jump up and down with excitement, either, although he deserves more patience than Bell.

 

Of course, the defense of Bell is that you can't easily turn raw athletes into baseball players...that the fault lies in organizational/drafting philosophy and not player development. It has to be a little bit of both...and too soon for Hahn to fall on any sword.

What does any of this have to do with Paddy? Other than possibly Nestor Molina, most of the guys he has brought into the organization aren't even in the United States yet.

There are rumors he was advising KW/Hahn on the Zach Stewart/Edwin Jackson deal, that he was being felt out at the time for a possible promotion in title and salary with the White Sox...and his "insider" knowledge of the Jays' system was one of his selling points.

Puig hitting .389 with 2 homers and 7 RBI's already.

 

Seems like he might end up the best Cuban hitter of that young group of Cubans in Cespedes (a bit injury prone so far, but a very solid rookie campaign...and he would have more value as pure CFer than a corner guy), Viciedo and Soler.

 

 

At least Walker was 2/4 with an XB hit and 3 RBI's.

And Thompson's over .260.

That seems AWFULLY premature.

I've never seen this written or mentioned anywhere. The only person who has ever said this is you. If you're going to accuse the White Sox of tampering you might as well support it with some source.

So he was stabbing the team paying his paycheck in the back? Where did you see this at?
