MurcieOne Posted December 17, 2002 Share Posted December 17, 2002 Originally posted by LDFthe players we recieved from tor to complete the trade, does anybody know? The White Sox have received minor-leaguers Neal Cotts and Daylan Holt from the Oakland Athletics as the players to be named later in the trade that brought Billy Koch to Chicago. Cotts, a 22-year-old lefthander who attended Illinois State and is from Lebanon, was 12-6 with a 4.12 ERA in 28 starts at Class A Modesto in the California League last summer. He tied for third in the league in victories and ranked second with 178 strikeouts. Opponents hit just .239 against him. Cotts (6-2, 200) was a second-round draft pick of the A's in 2001. The other Holt, a 24-year-old outfielder, split time between Class A Visalia and Class AA Midland last season, hitting .286 with 20 home runs and 88 RBIs in 134 games. Holt (6-1, 200) lives in Mesquite, Texas. "Daylan is a corner outfielder who we have scouted since he played at Texas A&M," Shaffer said. "We think he has the potential to be a power-hitting outfielder at the major-league level." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
witesoxfan Posted December 17, 2002 Share Posted December 17, 2002 As I have said all along...it is a wash from looking at it right now...we give up a closer who is making $6 million next year and will probably opt for the free agent market after this year, a good backup catcher, and a good minor league pitching prospect who was at an advanced level for a closer who we will probably sign for a longer deal pretty soon, a good left-handed pitcher who has good stuff in some non-advanced levels and a good power hitting outfielder who has the potential to be a pretty good offensive threat someday(sounds like Jeff Liefer to me). In my book, this is at best a wash. In my book, this is at worst a wash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted December 17, 2002 Share Posted December 17, 2002 I think at best we get an ace pitcher, they get an ace closer. Imo, an ace pitcher is more important. Of course, I think neither will turn into that, although I think Cotts is going to be a pretty good pickup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Showtime Posted December 17, 2002 Share Posted December 17, 2002 Originally posted by ChisoxfnWhat deal with Toronto? He either meant Oakland. Or he thought we traded Majewski to the Jays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YOU ARE SEEING THE LIGHT, JASON!!! Cotts WILL be having a great baseball career barring major injury. He's the kind of pitcher who strengthens as a game (and season) progresses.

That's why the A's parted ways with him. He won't ever see the black-and-white pinstripes IMHO. KW will deal him before that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doubleM23 Posted December 17, 2002 Share Posted December 17, 2002 If you expect Cotts to climb into a rotation that in a few years is shaping up to include Mark Buehrle, Kris Honel, Jon Rauch, Jon Garland, Dan Wright, and now possibly Russ Ortiz you're nuts. I don't know anything about the guy, but saying that he's going to have a great career already is crazy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
