We know of seven players from Venezuela and Profar out of Curacao so far. They'll announce these next week as well as their signings out of the Dominican Republic
-
For the record, I didn't say Povich. I suggested McDermott. Westburg/Beavers/McDermott and Horvath/Wagner is a pretty good deal imo.
-
Or they can just keep waiting until the value matches the offers while the White Sox inherit all of the risk
-
He’s playing with fire. Hope he’s right
-
I’m not sure Westburg, Beavers and McDermott would even be on the table at the deadline. Westburg could have a big first half and I expect Beavers and McDermott on midseason top 100
-
I dont think it’s posturing. They signed Stroman instead. I think they’re done
-
Well then I wouldn’t expect a deal to get done anywhere if those are your expectations
-
Nightengale made it seem like Sox wanted one of Jones or Hampton and Yanks wouldn’t include either
-
I'd bet on him being here on opening day if this is true. I don't think they're getting two high impact guys from anyone. Getz might have overplayed this unfortunately. He could get it at the deadline if everything goes right but that's not a risk I feel good taking.
-
Oh okay gotcha
-
Herrera will be on ours I think
-
Is Noah Schultz really not on the BP 101?
-
I haven't heard anything, actually. No idea on my end.
-
I think this is wayyy too much in return.
-
The issue I have in general with Baltimore is that I think Kjerstad ends up at first base pretty soon, Ortiz doesn't interest me at all, Norby might be left field only and Cowser's primary value is as a centerfielder. I've been searching for upside in that system.
-
I think it's 25 homer potential and OBP skills at 2B. If Fangraphs said otherwise though, it must be true.
-
Well he's not on prospect lists anymore so there's no way he can be any good
-
Agreed. I'd kind of lump Basallo, Mayo, Kjerstad, Cowser and Westburg together. I'm sure some of these guys aren't available but the White Sox definitely aren't getting two of these guys.
-
No but I think asking for two top 75 types is a bit unrealistic and that's what this would be. I would target Dylan Beavers, personally.
-
I think they can make a really good deal with Westburg headlining Yes it is. Westburg is valuable. People are underrating him because he's graduated from prospect lists
-
Obviously
-
Their two biggest signings last year were teenage Dominicans
-
No idea. Possibly but it's weird with Kjerstad. He could end up at 1B and they have Mayo, Rutschman and Basallo This is where I disagree. My guess is that Getz is aking for two of: Cowser, Kjerstad, Mayo, Basallo and Westburg and that's the hold up. This is my speculation but maybe he has a timetable in regards to taking one of them with other players and that's been the plan all along. I don't really know. If he's insisting on Cowser/Kjerstad plus Westburg though, Cease likely starts opening day for Sox. I just don't think Sox have any interest in Joey Ortiz as a second piece. I wouldn't. I also don't think Norby sticks at 2B so I'd understand the hesitancy there too.
-
I get it. I’d be fine with Kjerstad but he’s likely moving to 1B as well
-
Orioles fans I’ve talked to agree. That’s why I think the headliner isn’t the issue here.
