The Sir Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 QUOTE (fathom @ May 30, 2017 -> 05:55 PM) We have no idea what they offered. All indications are the packages sucked I recall the rumor that we were offered something with Tucker and Martes, and we wanted Musgrove included. WTF. Also, at this point, I just want Sale to K as many people as possible. I mean Woods-Ian. Throwing way too many pitches though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SonofaRoache Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 QUOTE (EvilJester99 @ May 30, 2017 -> 06:58 PM) Guess they should have dealt Q in the offseason.. but who would have thought he would struggle this badly. There was no point in keeping him. Teams weren't gonna increase their offers for him because he isn't all that exciting or dominant of a pitcher. He is good but teams are afraid to invest too much in him. I figured he would crash and burn this year as a slap in the face of the rebuild.

ChiSox59 Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 QUOTE (Wanne @ May 30, 2017 -> 08:06 PM) Quintana/Schwarber trade makes so much sense....honestly...they're not doing either team any good. That would be a horrible trade and one you could still make in a year or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxjusttyped Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 30, 2017 -> 08:07 PM) White Sox don't give up this year like they did pretty much the entire second half last season....well, most of the 2013-16 Sox teams, for that matter, when dealing with adversity. If the Sox had role players like Yolmer, Leury, Davidson etc playing well in previous seasons the rebuild likely never would have started. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad you're not managing my investment portfolio. Now is not the time to panic. Sell when everyone's super confident, buy when there's fear in the atmosphere.

Chicago White Sox Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 QUOTE (JoshPR @ May 30, 2017 -> 07:58 PM) I love how people just criticize just for the hell of it. No one knows what teams offered. Hahn was selling high. ITS WHAT HE SUPPOSED TO DO!!!! Some just wanna trade to make a trade Selling high? Quintana's value has plummeted. As I said all offseason there was a ton more downside risk than there was potential upside gain. I obviously don't know what was offered this past winter, but given the overall lack of quality starting pitching it's hard to believe someone wouldn't have offered fair value. My concern (which we'll never know for sure) is that Hahn did not value Quintana appropriately and underestimated the considerable risk of holding him. And the worst part is if team's didn't think Quintana was a TOR starter before, he's going to have a hell of a time convincing GMs & scouts he is one now after that disaster of a season.

chitownsportsfan Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 QUOTE (StrykerSox @ May 30, 2017 -> 09:14 PM) Chris Sale is such a weak-ass headcase. It's his biggest flaw by far as a pitcher and person. Also, to the poster I told to STFU, sorry. I'm as frustrated as you are. But sabermetrics thinks Q has sucked too.

daggins Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 The Sox FO bet on Quintana and lost. It sucks, but you gotta move on and hope he can get beyond it. Now, Hahn can work on getting value out of the Sox excellent bullpen and the surprisingly competent Derek Holland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 (edited) Avi 913 Abreu 870 Davidson 853 Sanchez 793 Leury 790 Melky 715 Sale at 61 pitches, 2.64 ERA now. Gardner and Holliday with two homers a piece, that Yankees' line-up is just mowing down everyone. Looks like they and the Astros are the two best AL teams.
