Balta1701 Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Dec 16, 2015 -> 12:45 PM) And his value comes if he can stick as a starter. IN LA, he has no chance of that. Why? He still shouldn't be in the big leagues this year and the Dodgers have already shown they won't rush a guy to the bigs just to fill a bullpen role.

southsider2k5 Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 QUOTE (reiks12 @ Dec 16, 2015 -> 11:38 AM) Too bad we couldn't send Avi to the Dodgers instead of Trayce Kenny must still think Avi is a 300/30/100 guy Or there is a reason the Sox are sniffing around guys like Cespedes and Upton...

lasttriptotulsa Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 QUOTE (WhiteSoxLifer @ Dec 16, 2015 -> 11:41 AM) #WhiteSox hit 136 HR last season, fewest in AL. Frazier and Lawrie combined to hit 51 https://twitter.com/scotgregor/status/677180524054446080 The Sox could realistically get around 100 homers out of their infield alone next year. 30-35 for Abreu and Frazier each, 15-20 for Lawrie and around 10 out of SS.

Jose Abreu Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 Wow. Great news. Of course it happened during the one 45-minute period of the day in which I can't look at my phone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flavum Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 Also nice that Frazier won't be facing the Sox 19 games with the Royals or Indians. Had to give to get, and what they gave is potentially painful, but not right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cabiness42 Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 What are the Dodgers going to do with Trayce? 6th OF behind Puig, Ethier, Crawford, Pederson and Van Slyke? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 QUOTE (aboz56 @ Dec 16, 2015 -> 11:40 AM) Why is everyone sweating Thompson? He played well late last season in meaningless games. Sox sold high. Right there with you Alex. Great fielder, terrible bat, probably never going to hit at the major league level. If you eliminate his first week or so worth of ABs, he didn't really hit while he was here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Dec 16, 2015 -> 11:41 AM) More likely the Dodgers prefer Trayce to Avi. With the team they have, having a defensive OF to come off of the bench makes a lot of sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyyle23 Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 QUOTE (shysocks @ Dec 16, 2015 -> 11:46 AM) True, they sold high, and that's why I'm not complaining more. But a guy coming up and immediately succeeding isn't something we see very much on the hitting side. Im gonna disagree with that, September hot bats have stuck the Sox with some s***ty players the following season. Josh Fields and Jerry Owens i am looking at you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jose Abreu Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Dec 16, 2015 -> 11:47 AM) Not sure JB Shuck is much worse than Thompson, if at all Agreed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Allen Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 QUOTE (fathom @ Dec 16, 2015 -> 11:47 AM) Seemed like most of them were on his slider, which to me was a better pitch than his fastball. As a starter though, he would struggle with only two pitches. Definite late-inning reliever to me. They are becoming more and more important. One thing I would worry about is his body, but you can't teach 100. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsider2k5 Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 QUOTE (Heads22 @ Dec 16, 2015 -> 11:45 AM) We traded three prospects with some potentials but some major flaws That is a good way to put it. All have potential, but need a lot to go right to hit that level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanOfCorn Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 Rios, De Aza and Quentin are all available...jus' sayin'. I like the trade. Only holes now are OF defense and maybe SS. But I'm not too worried about that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 To me the player who had the best risk:reward ratio in this deal is Montas and considering where the White Sox are, it makes a lot of sense to deal a SP who wasn't likely to start the year in the MLB rotation given how strong we are at the top of our rotation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OmarComing25 Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 I liked Montas here more than most, and I liked Trayce too, but I really like not giving up Anderson or Fulmer in the deal. However, my feelings on this move all depend on getting another OF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiSoxFanMike Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 @courtney883 I have also heard from many credible sources that the #WhiteSox are still not done. A move in the outfield could be next. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxAce Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 Sox have a plus defender at 3B now with possibly Eaton in CF. That's two guys and C is solid so.. maybe three positions. Sox have power with Lawrie and Frazier coming in with Abreu (and whatever Eaton we see next season there ). Great we need it. Get us a RF, SS, possibly a LF (move Melky to DH) with average to above average defense (shortstop for sure), OBP (at least two hitters there) and power (maybe one more bat there... Upton?) And I really like our chances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jose Abreu Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 A bit surprising considering Micah had been doing lots of charity work for us this offseason. Thought that may have meant something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All have potential, but need a lot to go right to hit that level. We held on to our guys that have the highest odds to be starters (IMO) and we have a bunch of picks in the draft that should be upper level talents. I still think the Sox are bringing in ONE more OF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve9347 Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 Todd Frazier feels like every other guy we get. Low average, low on base skills, destined to come here and fall apart. Hopefully he winds up different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
