Sox acquire Lance Lynn for Dane Dunning and Avery Weems
NCsoxfan replied to KrankinSox's topic in Pale Hose Talk
Really bad trade. Even possible Dunning is as good this year give he’ll be another year removed from TJ. I’m sorry but this is stupid. -
Screw Heyward and his contract, I want no part of him.
-
I was pushing for Brantley when he was a FA a few years ago. Think he would be a solid but unspectacular addition.

Joc Pederson: How long will he be a future White Sox?
NCsoxfan replied to Y2Jimmy0's topic in Pale Hose Talk
Having not followed this thread until now...the last few pages escalated fairly quickly! -
Slight deterioration in Colome and he’s a liability. He doesn’t have overwhelming stuff and there’s a fine line there. I’m not a fan of throwing a ton of $ at him.
-
Exactly. No interest in giving up Kuechel and Grandal. And to be honest with our lineup and today’s financial situation in MLB, I’m not sure I’d want Harper. It’s a no all the way around.

Kyle Schwarber signs with Nationals: 1 year 10mil
NCsoxfan replied to Buehrle>Wood's topic in Pale Hose Talk
Organizational stubbornness and a desire to fail conventionally (with a vet like EE) as opposed to an untraditional player like Yermin. One can’t empirically prove that Yermin is a AAAA player. Perhaps we’ll never know. -
Kyle Schwarber signs with Nationals: 1 year 10mil
NCsoxfan replied to Buehrle>Wood's topic in Pale Hose Talk
He was ready this year and we had DH who couldn’t hit a beach ball. If he didn’t get a look this year why would he next? -
I’ll never understand the fascination of people wanting to get rid of good young players with long term control...

This f$cker is going to rake in October in the Bronx -
That would be dumb. Took so long to accumulate assets only to flippantly trade them with a significant long term WAR loss

Darrin Jackson?

Baseball Prospectus Top 10 White Sox Prospects
NCsoxfan replied to South Side Hit Men's topic in Pale Hose Talk
Poor Weems... he is basically living on no income https://www.google.com/amp/s/azdailysun.com/sports/local/avery-weems-grinds-through-pandemic-minor-league-baseball-uncertainty/article_f22363f6-d78e-55be-adc8-97c06b9a1c95.amp.html -
Here’s a random thought: let’s say the Reds are willing to trade Castellanos to get out of his salary. Do you trade a third tier prospect to take on his contract?

We are not the kind of team that can consistently reload. If we can contend for multiple years due to good prospect depth we shouldn’t jeopardize that just to increase our odds slightly one year.
-
That’s my issue too. We wouldn’t necessarily be buying Lynn’s previous production at this age. Furthermore, another year removed from surgery, it’s possible Dunning takes another step forward. In sports it’s never as simple as extrapolating past performance.
-
Dunning is a quality 3/4 pitcher in this league for a long long time. There’s no need to dump him because we’re excited to make a trade for someone marginally (if at all) better than him today.
-
I’d rather have Dunning than Lynn period.

I didn’t even notice who posted the tweets, only that they’re continually being posted. I don’t believe things are worthy of being posted here because they meet the following two criteria 1) posted on twitter 2) conjecture regarding the White Sox. Obviously SOME filter is reasonable!

Why do we keep posting this twitter account that’s useful than this forum’s worst poster?

This is a dumb take. Sox aren’t giving up Thompson/Dalquist for Bryant. And if the Cubs decide to pay a significant amount they’d be better off keeping him and flipping him at the deadline. Makes no sense.

If you Google you’ll see lots of articles about how he turned down an offer “well north of $200mil”. Tough to say how many years, but I’m guessing 7?
-
Bryant has to be kicking himself for turning down that offer a few years back.
-
Nothing concrete but there’s been scuttlebutt that it’s a possibility
