Chicago White Sox

What in the world does Tatis have to do with anything?

The ones we offer the most money to? ?‍♂️

And people b****ing about the Sale return at this point are nuts. We got prospects back that ultimately ended up with FV grades of 70, 60, & 50. The 70 grade prospect is a top 5 physical talent in all baseball. The 60 grade prospect has as big of a ceiling as any RHP in baseball. The 50 grade prospect just started in CF in the Futures Game and still has untapped potential IMO. In today’s world that’s an absolute fucking haul. I get Sale is the GOAT Sox pitcher and it sucks to see him dominating elsewhere, but right now it appears our front office did their due diligence and got what could be an epic return. That could change with time, but right now there is zero reason to be calling this a poor trade for us.

I think saying it’s not a big deal is not an accurate assessment. Saying it’s not the end of the world would be better. We can survive Moncada being just a slightly above average player, but that means a lot of other things have to go right. But that’s why you rebuild in the first place. to build enough prospect depth so you can cover any misses with hits elsewhere.

Can we create a “Ownership / Front Office b****fest” thread and direct all further complaints there for the near future? I have no problem is people hate Reinsdorf, KW, Hahn, etc. but it’s like every single thread gets derailed with the same tired argument. We get it, these guys have a terrible track record over the past 10 years and probably didn’t deserve the opportunity to rebuild the club. But those are the cards we’ve been dealt, so either we can all be patient and see how it shakes out or we can panic at every single bump in the road and use it an excuse to whine about these guys relentlessly. I know this will fall on deaf ears, but a lot of good conservations are being ruined with all the non-stop b****ing.

A point that isn’t mentioned nearly enough.

Are we really using strikeouts as the end all be all? Go check Kris Bryant’s minor league strikeout rates. Moncada was rushed through the minors, his development will like take a little longer than expected. Let’s all give the kid some god damn time. He’s already shown significant improvement in July, which a loud group of posters here continue to ignore.

JFC Caulfield, neither kid is a finished product. They 25 & 23 years old FFS. People’s need for instant gratification here is infuriating.

Looking through this in more detail and they still don’t have Ian Hamilton & Jimmy Lambert on the list. While this is a vast improvement over their pre-season list, there’s still some big misses

Lol...what? Moncada & Anderson can’t be the answers in the middle infield? Do people here honestly think before they post this garbage? Anderson has improved his BB & K rates this year while improving his power. He’s providing positive value in the field & on the bases. The only thing holding him back a bit is a BABIP a good 40 points below where it should be. This has been a fanatic year for Tim. As for Moncada, he showed significant improvement in July. 14.8% BB rate & 25.9% K rate. He was able to maintain a pretty good ISO of .176. All this was good for a .750 & 108 wRC+. Given his .295 BABIP, those numbers could have been a little better with some more luck.

Oh I agree, just thought it was funny he was the exact last of 65. A little more concerning is Frare coming in at 65, but I’m not sure how much stock to put in their assessments on fringier prospects.

Fangraphs rated this guy the worst of all prospects moved at the deadline.

That’s my hope as well. Let’s give him an offseason to adjust his swing before we all panic.

Seems like the Blue Jays did real well here given the circumstances.

Impressive that Duvall has triple the WAR with triple the playing time! Isn’t misusing counting stats fun?!

What exactly is your complaint here? I’m not sure what he said that draws your hate.

lol...Hitler, Stalin, KW

Lol...that should hold him down until April mid of next year!

Because of one bad night? His wRC+ is like in the top three in the entire league and he’s actually age appropriate. I’m far more worried about his ability to stick behind the plate based on the most recent scouting reports.

As crazy as it sounds, I expect more than a .830 OPS from Eloy with the juiced ball.

Jimenez one hit away from that final “hit .400 in AAA” checkbox!

Rough night for Collins & Basabe.

The real question is what goober keeps applauding his male chauvinism posts.

Wow, thank god for bad base running or Cease would have given up a run or two that inning.

I think those guys are overworked or something, because I normally find myself aligned with their views for the most part, but their Sox top prospects list was outdated and quite frankly embarrassing. Cease has serious fucking helium and all you need to do is watch him pitch to see it.
