Yes, My answer is yes. I think if you always took surplus value to surplus value- I think prospects will win out in most trades. I think trading is always optimizing windows for a team like the White Sox. However, Right Handed power is the most valuable asset in baseball. Bonemer could be monster. Maybe he leads up to 2-3 world series appearances over the next decade. I like to compare this years White Sox to last years Bears. I had little expectation going in but it was exceeded and the final outcome however disappointing was a great ride. Additionally, My expectations for next year have increased. I want a division title and at least a trip to the ALCS.

Whats crazy is if we did just do that trade? And look Bonemer the player and the control could be worth an exceptional amount. Nobody knows truly how he will pan out. However, What we do know is Deitmers had a monster season. And very likely its the White Sox winning the division and playing in the ALCS if you do that trade. I don't know if its the right move. But I think its fair to ponder given the incredible need for a front line starter and how close the White Sox were, would it have been better to make that move.

I will say the other silver lining is we didn't burn Hicks or Taylor in this game. I would figure both could go multiple innings if we are ahead. I think you have 5 innings to get it to those guys. You have to bridge with Kay, Fedde, Smith and Newcomb to get there.

I know it sucks to lose but it happens. Look at how they drove in their RBIS: Adell Ground Ball not hard Hit Pop-up by Ramirez that falls in front of Grichuk Pop-up by Genao that falls in front of Grichuk Pop- Up by Rocchio that falls Look at the key outs by the White Sox Teels Slams a Ball with 2nd and 3rdthat is caught. Vargas gets doubled off Vargas Slams a Ball and Ramirez is able to smother it Im not saying they played a clean game by any means. Especially the walks. But you are not going to win them all and sometimes a break here or there turns the game. They just didnt get them today.

Is Ron Darling a Cleveland homer or something? This s%*# is unbearable.

Keep shutting them down.

The question will be whether Cade Smith make an appearance here if they get a man on in the 7th.

Sheesh! Some ball are getting hit hard for outs. Have to keep fighting; the middle relief has not been good for Cleveland.

Keep it close. Even if you go down in this one it would be good to burn two innings of Cade Smith today.

I wonder if the White Sox have challenge rules in the playoffs. Seems like he knew that was a ball.

Im going Game #1 Hagen Smith -> Eric Fedde-> Sean Newcomb->Grant Taylor Brazabon,Hick, Schultz available Game #2: Davis Martin->Anthony Kay->Jordan Hicks-> Grant Taylor Brazabon,Hicks, Schultz available

Lets go baby! We have to score some runs

Sam is so good. I know people s%*# on him for not making the play in Cleveland but he gives the best ABS throughout the year.

I'm stunned by the number of people currently a success, no matter what. The playoff odds sit at above 96%. If they come out of this week without a playoff appearance, it would be a massive choke job.

I mean you got to be able to hold the lead but the bullpen is out of gas. the starting pitching not being able to get through 5 innings consistently has caught up to them.
