QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Dec 17, 2015 -> 12:52 AM) I will say the Dodgers will have a nasty prospect rotation. Just said it on MLBN (Montas, Urias, De Leon, Anderson, Lee) You mean the Marlins in a few days

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Dec 17, 2015 -> 12:43 AM) No new oufielder and Saladino at SS means the Frazier deal is essentially for naught... Sure if you anticipate everything going wrong like it did last year

Also, it would be great if the Orioles sign Chris Davis

Tigers are a big threat for Cespedes, IMO

They signed R. Davis today as well. Another guy who will play all the time vs the Sox due to LHP

Probably the wrong thread, but Angels might be out of the outfield sweepstakes now: Jeff Fletcher ‏@JeffFletcherOCR 8m8 minutes ago The Angels have signed Daniel Nava to a one year deal. Could be the LF platoon with Gentry.

QUOTE (GoodAsGould @ Dec 16, 2015 -> 11:38 PM) Love the trade, I did like all 3 prospects we traded but none of them are can't miss guys and if anything it seems like trance/Micah will be future bench guys. I also stopped crying over losing mediocre prospects after being so upset about olivo/reed for Freddy Garcia. Those guys were far superior to this group

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Dec 16, 2015 -> 11:33 PM) With strong Cuban leadership from Abreu perhaps Puig would be a decent fit. I dunno though. There were heavy rumors a few years ago that they didn't care for each other

This is just comical: JONATHAN GRAFF ‏@JLGPROD 2h2 hours ago Did the #Whitesox give up too much young talent for Todd Frazier? #WhiteSoxTalk -best answers at 6pm on @CSNChicago I literally haven't heard one negative comment in the Chicago media about Theo's moves so far. Amazing how Trayce Thompson went from a mid-level prospect to the next sure thing. Not only that, I'm sure 90% of the Chicago media didn't even watch a Sox game in the last two months.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Dec 17, 2015 -> 12:04 AM) Dodgers fans seem to think is the start of a bigger deal. Makes sense. Would love to get involved in a 3 way again with them and grab Puig. Hell no to Puig...just seems like someone that's too much of a team cancer.

QUOTE (Dunt @ Dec 17, 2015 -> 12:08 AM) I should know better than to read these threads, nothing but unfounded negativity. I am absolutely fired up about this trade and there is more on the horizon. The Sox are gonna be nasty this season. It's truly amazing to me how anyone could be down about this trade. Most who don't like it believe Trayce will turn into a superstar or that Frazier will turn into Josh Fields.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Dec 16, 2015 -> 08:41 PM) Can you find my actual post on Rodon for Frazier? I'll man up to it if I said it but my posts get turned around ALOT on here and I don't remember ever making a proposal for Frazier officially. Like fathom said if Ethier had also been in this deal I'd have been very happy with it. I just think we ALWAYS overpay. I'm happier Ethier ISN'T in the deal

QUOTE (Knackattack @ Dec 16, 2015 -> 08:20 PM) 3 top 50 picks should help. Even 2 in the top 50 to add a couple high upside players to Fulmer/Anderson should be helpful. Plus, how many of those guys were top 15 prospects? Not very often I would imagine a team cares about adding the 18th ranked prospect in a system... so these guys aren't a major loss, IMO. I love this post so much

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Dec 16, 2015 -> 08:16 PM) For the record, I like the trade. But just to keep something in mind, look at this list: Frankie Montas (TRADED) Micah Johnson (TRADED) Trayce Thompson (TRADED) Tyler Saladino (GRADUATED) Zack Erwin (TRADED) Myles Jaye (TRADED) Yency Almonte (TRADED) JB Wendelken (TRADED) Junior Guerra (CLAIM) Those are all prospects that were either in the summer Top 30, or were likely to become that in January (in Almonte's case), all of whom the team has lost in a few weeks. Just pointing out that, this Frazier deal was good, but in exchange the team has taken a pretty big bite out of the system. They kept the top two in Anderson and Fulmer, but beyond that, an already not-fantastic list is much thinner now. And after the upcoming draft, we will have three prospects that should be top 15 off the bat.

Chuck Garfien ‏@ChuckGarfien 28s28 seconds ago Can the White Sox get into the Upton/Cespedes/Gordon sweepstakes? Hahn said "We shall see."

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Dec 16, 2015 -> 08:11 PM) Bob Nightengale ‏@BNightengale 45s45 seconds ago The #WhiteSox still looking to upgrade the lineup,GM Rick Hahn says,and could be in market for splashy free agent such as Upton or Cespedes. AWESOME

He'll be a pain vs the Sox due to his LHP hitting ability

David Haugh ‏@DavidHaugh 3m3 minutes ago Jose Abreu's reaction to White Sox trade for Todd Frazier, in English from El Floridita: "He's a good player who can hit. I love it."

QUOTE (Joshua Strong @ Dec 16, 2015 -> 06:53 PM) This trade sucks Must be quoting a Reds fan

I wonder if we hear Hawk say "the strong arm of Lawrie" on every double play

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Dec 16, 2015 -> 06:10 PM) If the Warriors don't win the NBA championship this past year, I'm not sure this deal gets done as is. Probably Trayce's most valuable asset to is his name value. Agree, just like how Samardzija would be less hyped if he played at New Mexico

Monumental improvements at 2b and 3b going into next year. Let's get Raburn now to platoon with LaRoche

Shocked that Kaplan thinks the price was steep. I'm sure he's mad he can't mention the Cubs on his show all day.

Just don't let Frazier be in HR derby

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Dec 16, 2015 -> 05:57 PM) At the very worst if he does fall apart he's still a plus defender which we couldn't say about the others. And if the Sox tank this year, they have a valuable trade chip. People act like he is a FAafter the year.
