balfanman Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 We're heading into the trade season, although I'm sure we're at least a month or so away from the end of the World Series and the deal making begins. But the minor league season is over and I'm sure that you have players you like and don't like for various reasons. I'd like to know who the folks here, particularly the minor league "gurus" feel are the top 2 or 3 prospects that they would like to see the Sox NOT trade away? These may or may not be the best ones by these ranking sites, but who do you feel has the baseball instincs to be at least an average MLB player and you would be disappointed if they were traded.

Rowand44 Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 Johnson and Semien, that's it(assuming we're not considering Avi a prospect anymore). Those two should be starters in 2014 and shouldn't be going anywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 Erik Johnson, Semien, Micah Johnson. Those are the 3 I do not want to see traded at all (of course everything depends on who we'd get back). Of those that I LIKE, and would PREFER not to be traded, Chris Bassit and Chris Beck. Of those who have value that I WOULD like to see traded.... Carlos Sanchez. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cabiness42 Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 As far as I'm concerned, anybody outside of Chris Sale and Avisail Garcia is fair game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This. There is no one in the system right now that should be untouchable. Not even close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthSideSox72 Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 No one is untouchable. That said, I don't see the Sox trading away many, if any, notable prospects at this point. I think it is much more likely they acquire some. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If our top prospects are flawed, why would other teams want to trade for them? Wouldn't we just get other flawed prospects back? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthSideSox72 Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 QUOTE (RegionSox @ Sep 30, 2013 -> 02:56 PM) If our top prospects are flawed, why would other teams want to trade for them? Wouldn't we just get other flawed prospects back? I think the point was, all prospects are flawed. No such thing as a sure-fire prospect, for any useful purpose of the definition. And that is true.

The Chisox system was pretty bare when they traded an a-baller named Chris carter for Carlos Quentin, but that won a division title. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigHurt3515 Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 I am excited to see what Semien can do for us next year! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
