ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Another pretty unlikeable player, but could be a nice buy-low piece for Coop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chetkincaid Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 What's the deal with Mat Latos? Is he still good? I heard he wasn't a good clubhouse guy. I also wonder if this means that a starting White Sox pitcher is on the move. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsider2k5 Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 That is a really nice deal for the White Sox. It gives another righty to mix, and it is cheap and short term. Well done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoCalSox Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 That's a really nice add for basically nothing. Wow. Very happy with this. Give this team another bat & let's see what they can do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shysocks Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Damn, hard to argue with that price. How many innings can he be counted on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also wonder if this means that a starting White Sox pitcher is on the move. Good peripherals, bad ERA. So bad that the Dodgers, who traded for him, DFA'd him a month later. It's a low risk high reward type move. FWIW, his fastball velocity was actually pretty decent last year in comparison to 2014. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmags Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Latos Rodon and Sale in the same bullpen, pretty intense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Princess Dye Posted February 9, 2016 Author Share Posted February 9, 2016 Chris Cotillo @ChrisCotillo 38s38 seconds ago Rationale behind Latos to ChiSox, per source: "Best place where he can make 30+ starts and win". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Allen Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 This is slightly more than it cost for Paulino, so not a bad gamble, although he really sucked. At the very least it shows they really weren't counting on Turner being able to step right into the rotation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago White Sox Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Latos may be an asshole, but this is a very solid move. Danks & Johnson competing against Latos for the #4 & #5 spots is way better than them competing against Turner and now we actually have some depth (assuming Johnson starts in AAA).

Y2Jimmy0 Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Great signing. He could find it and realistically be good enough to receive a QO next offseason. Giant douche though. Should be a fun season at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 I love the gamble, especially with a low base salary. Erik Johnson is definitely on the hot seat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
