Post-Laroche DH? It's not that far-fetched to suggest, I think.

 

Anyway, I liked the guy. Props to those who called Phegley too. Definitely won't miss him.

And platoon partner for him in the interim was what I was hoping. Crunchella will probably hit 200 OPS points better against LHP than ALaR by the time he's acclimated, dude mashes em' - can't imagine that he wouldn't have destroyed that bandbox in Charlotte, allowing for a midseason arrival. Billy's building another dirt-cheap platoon team, so he can pay some of his pitchers as they mature.

According to the mlb.com prospect list, the Sox didn't give up a single guy in their top 20. Haha

 

And there was still people upset by what they gave up. Lol gotta love it.

Overall I love this trade. Samardzija brings us a solid #2 starter. Ynoa's starting days are likely over, but he can be real good in the bullpen.

 

Semien- trade from depth with Sanchez and Micah

Bassitt- could develop into back end starter, best suited in for bullpen

Phegley- no future with the team with 5 catchers

Ravelo- loved him but no way he was going to play here with Abreu.

#WhiteSox 40-man roster is down to 38 with the move. Will be up to 39 shortly. Hearing they may have signed a reliever.

 

Lol who is next?

Ynoa a bust? Dudes just turned 23. Coop'll fix 'em and we just snagged another bullpen piece. Yeah buddy!!!

 

Edit: probably not this year though. Still hasn't cracked AA.

23 year old who hasn't pitched in AA yet and started his pro career in 2010? Yeah he's probably a bust. Obviously injuries are a factor but that's good either. Still, worth the lotto ticket.
