Actually Alan Bannister didn't suck offensively. I'll take that back.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Dec 10, 2015 -> 04:52 PM) Most of these names are from the 90s or later... I'm sure there were some far worse players than Keppinger, Dunn, or Bonifacio during the 1900s. Kevin Bell. Alan Bannister. Bill Nahorodny. There you go. Joel Skinner tanked too.

QUOTE (fathom @ Dec 10, 2015 -> 04:38 PM) Paniagua easily wins this That one appearance really made an impression.

For what he was paid, Adam Dunn is up there. Ritchie and Navarro are good calls. Billy Koch was a s***storm.

I would just be more willing to trade a pitcher--more unknown variables with pitching, pretty deep right now, and have the 10th pick in June. I'd probably gamble with Fulmer + others for Frazier and the comp pick.

Would you go Fulmer plus the infielder (Rondon or others) for Frazier and the Comp A pick? Reds got the first comp pick in the lottery.

QUOTE (bmags @ Dec 10, 2015 -> 10:44 AM) Jaye wasn't on 40 was he? Nope. This is a minor league transaction.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Dec 10, 2015 -> 09:47 AM) AAA phase done. 48 players picked. AA phase up now. Don't think any Sox products were picked.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Dec 10, 2015 -> 09:14 AM) How many rounds are there for MLB phase? Until 40 mans are filled, or all teams pass.

Padres take Blake Smith from Charlotte.

Nobody took a Sox minor leaguer in the major league phase, so far. Round 2 starts now.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Dec 10, 2015 -> 07:04 AM) What time is the draft? 2 hours from now

QUOTE (fathom @ Dec 9, 2015 -> 09:57 PM) Would you do this trade for Frazier....Anderson, Avi and M. Johnson? I would want the Reds to include a couple lower level minor leaguers that actually have a chance to be big leaguers. That's a pretty big haul for two years of Frazier.

Chuckles getting all dramatic. https://twitter.com/ChuckGarfien/status/674790146613596160

QUOTE (dayan024 @ Dec 9, 2015 -> 09:04 PM) @chuckgarfien White Sox would like to add a power bat in middle of the order. Get Upton and Frazier and subtract Avi and LaRoche...I'm legit excited about this team for 2016.

Really good potential to be the right fit for him and the Sox. 2 years at his age? Perfect for the 2016 Sox. Well done, Sox FO.

QUOTE (Frank_Thomas35 @ Dec 9, 2015 -> 08:37 PM) I think Lawrie wears 15 True. He wore 13 in Toronto and is part of his twitter handle.

Avila and Lawrie can rock/paper/scissors for #13.

QUOTE (Knuckles @ Dec 9, 2015 -> 08:21 PM) And some of you guys were sending Tryce/EK/Avi to A's. Let Rick Hahn do his job. Who's to say it didn't hurt giving up Erwin?

Well, at least we won't have to hear the local media mispronounce Wendelken for the next 5 years. ...but Lawrie is like Laurie.
