Rowand44 Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 (edited) QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 31, 2015 -> 09:56 AM) Frankie Montas for 2 months of Justin Upton to hope for a 1 game playoff? Way too much. I'll take my chances. I have no faith in Frankie to be a mainstay in our future rotation so I'll take my 2 month rental over what I see as a future reliever.

bmags Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 QUOTE (ChiSox59 @ Jul 31, 2015 -> 09:55 AM) There is no chance Tim Anderson is the starting SS on opening day 2016 for the Sox. It will be Alexei. Maybe, just maybe, it Alexei sucks balls, they'll call up Anderson midseason, or maybe, they'll let Saladino or Sanchez give it a go, but it won't be Anderson. Admittedly, I haven't watched Anderson in person, but by all accounts he is extremely raw. His defense has improved ten fold since last season, but he'd still be an absolute butcher at SS in the majors. Give him time. That they did not promote Anderson to AAA with the slew of promotions/dl stints in Charlotte should be telling on where they see his debut.

Even if you have no faith in Montas he certainly has more value than a 2-month rental. Trade him to get a bat locked up beyond this year if you're going to move him.

Jose Abreu Posted July 31, 2015 Author Share Posted July 31, 2015 IMO, the Sox have two deals on the table. One for Cespedes, one for Upton. They can accept either one, but they're trying to figure out how playing time would be distributed and how the player can have the biggest impact for us.

southsider2k5 Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Jul 31, 2015 -> 09:46 AM) https://www.baseballamerica.com/today/prosp...s/all-time#1990 Dominating the minors would probably put you in the top 20 prospects in all of baseball. I'm not saying EJ is a top 20 guy (he was #63 in 2014), especially because his dominating stretch is still a pretty small sample size, but I was more making an overall point about dominant minor league numbers. I went through that list from 1990-2000 and 45% of the prospects ranked in the top 20 played at least 1000 games (goes over 50% if the cutoff is down to 900 games instead of 1000) and that's not even counting all the pitchers who don't get that high but definitely did enough to stick around. 900-1000 games is 6+ seasons, I think that qualifies as sticking at the major league level. What you need a list of guys who dominated AAA. A top prospects list leaves off guys like Jeff Bajenaru and Andy Wilkins who destroyed AAA, but flopped at the majors. There are lots and lots of guys who do exactly that who never show up on lists like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only issue I see with this is if Melky doesn't want to / doesn't like RF. But if they go rental route, please don't give up Anderson, EJ, Fulmer, Adams, or Trey. Fine with Avi or Montas, or pretty much any other prospect. Would be sad to see Danish or Adolfo go though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There have been plenty of young players with exceptional physical tools to struggle the first couple years of their careers and still wind up reaching their potential. It happens. I believe Avi will come along in due time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
