    Great call! It seems to be an unpopular opinion, but to me, Rodriguez is the best prospect in the system. He's checking every box you can possibly ask for right now.

    I always felt this way, too, and would even go as far to say that he should be in the top 100 at year's end.

     Obviously, I’m still pissed off about this trade, ha.

    Never understood what KW was looking at when he made that trade, but as the Joker would say "Its all part of the plan".  Allow me to un-piss you off about that deal:

    Quote

    December 3, 2002: Billy Koch traded by Oakland with players to be named later to the White Sox for Keith Foulke, Mark Johnson, Joe Valentine and cash. The A's sent Neal Cotts(December 16, 2002) and Daylan Holt(minors) (December 16, 2002) to the Sox to complete the trade.

    Cotts was as lockdown as you could get out of the pen in 05'.  Didn't really factor much in the playoffs, but he did to get to 99 wins.

    Why are people so down on LaVine that they would use him as trade bait to move up a few spots?  I honestly wouldn't trade him straight up for anybody in this draft, and in all honesty, he'd probably go #1 in this draft.  Also wouldn't use Lauri or Wendell to move up either.  I say just stay put and pick BPA, which I could envision Ball being there.  Personally, I'm on the Killian Hayes bandwagon.

    Lopez to the bullpen as a 7-8 inning guy has always been my plan. Rodon? Sucks cause i like him, but i think you have to move on and let him probably flourish elsewhere. 

    Agree with Lopez at this point.  I think he would flourish out of the pen.  The same scenario needs to be considered for Rodon as well.  I'm ready to go the Andrew Miller route with him, but will he be up for something like that?

    Anyone Remember Much about the 2000 White Sox?

    in Pale Hose Talk

    Posted

    Had a lot of fun watching this team, from the brawl with Detroit to the 7 game sweep of NYY & CLE, it was the first time in my White Sox fandom that they were actually good.  The trade for Charles Johnson was a head scratcher at first, but damn was he AMAZING in his stint with the Sox.  It really goes under the radar how good he was.  I see a lot of people talking about the pitching, but lets be honest, the only way they were going to win anything was by hitting.  Unfortunately, against the Mariners, they failed miserably at that and that was that.  Off season brought in that idiot Wells, Clayton(unnecessary, but I do remember a ton of fans/media complaining about Valentin's errors), Alomar and it just never clicked.  Started off 2001 like shit through May, but after that were solid. 

    I hated Wells so much that one of my favorite memories of the 05' Sox WS team will forever be Iguchi hitting a grand slam off that crumb!

    I have to admit...that list is gruesome.

    I'm not at all a huge fan of Hahn & Co. and the drafting they've done, but at the end of the day they're 2nd round picks in baseball.  How many teams actually make a killing drafting in the 2nd round?  Here are a few examples of some teams that everyone considers to have exceptional scouting, especially compared to the Sox:

    2012: Nolan Fotana

    2013: Andrew Thurman

    2016: Ronnie Dawson 

    2017: Joe Perez/Corbin Martin/J.J. Matijevic

    2018: Jayson Shroeder

    2019: Grae Kessinger

     

    Rays Last 10 2nd Rd Picks:

    2013: Riley Unroe

    2014: Brent Honeywell Jr./Cameron Varga

    2015: Chris Betts

    2016: Jake Fraley /Ryan Boldt

    2017: Michael Mercado

    2018: Tanner Dodson/Tyler Frank

    2016: Akil Baddoo/Jose Miranda/Joe Rortvedt

    2017: Landon Leach

    2018: Ryan Jeffers

    Yermin Mercedes with a first inning double......but it doesn’t matter because he’s 26 I guess 🤷🏻‍♂️

    Nah, at this point he should definitely get a look towards the end of the season or next as a backup C/DH option.  He's hit everywhere in the minors.

    Do you not think the undesirable state of the White Sox is the fault of Jerry Reinsdorf, Kenny Williams and Rick Hahn? This is 100% on those 3 guys if they miss out.

    Of course, but what I'm saying is that those guys had their minds set on where they wanted to go regardless of the state of the Sox.  They want the prestige AND the cash, not just the latter.  The former is something the Sox cannot offer at this moment and whether you like it or not, its up to those "3 guys" to bring the franchise back to prominence.

    I really hope Rick Hahn or Kenny Williams don't think Encarnación is an acceptable big acquisition for this winter.

    What more could they do though?  Its clear neither one of them wanted to go anywhere else other then their intended target: Yankees & Cubs.  Its not like Kenny and Rick can put a gun to their heads and force their hands.

    Who will be the 1st free agent the White Sox sign ?

    Dear god no to Mccutchen in CF.  He’s Carl Everett-esque out there now.  Give me Billy Hamilton instead, especially if the corners are Eloy and Harper.

    What about Michael Taylor from the Nationals?  If Soto/Robles/Eaton is the OF, then he could be available.  If not Taylor, then perhaps Rusney Castillo from Boston who can't get playing time with a stacked OF.  I'd look into those two until one of Robert/Basabe are ready to go.

    As far as the main topic of the thread goes, Jeurys Familia.
