  1. The Yankees don’t easily pass along real deal prospects.
  2. Getz held strong for a long time though. Any credit for that?
  3. since we've been going with the power pitching prospect without very much success for quite awhile, it might actually be time for a change up with a change.
  4. Something tells me they may have given up Thorpe because he was throwing that reported 88 mph. Otherwise, maybe the name is different.
  5. Sure. The Sox definitely moved quickly on this as soon as Cease showed some performance though. If the deal was lacking, and it kinda is, if they had confidence Cease was gonna be there in July, they probably would have waited. They way they jumped on this suggests they viewed it as too much of a gamble?
  6. Oh dear. The excitement for the deal hinges on Zavala having CF upside totally for me.
  7. Well, if Cease was throwing harder in ST more in line with his past, I would be less ok with this. As such, teams reasonably could hold back on the offers given the amount of risk they are accepting. Not that he wasn’t still ramping it up. No idea.
  8. OTOH, if equivalent prospects like Moncada and Kopech were in the return, we would have been thrilled. You never know I guess. Sorry, just trying to cope.
  9. Risk management. Holding out as long as possible into the season if necessary could increase the returns. But how sure were the White Sox themselves which Cease this is. Maybe get while the getting is (good enough)
  10. Can I say it? The “savage” schtick is weird. *ducks under desk*
