To summarize, the Sale, Eaton, and Q trades all look solid, and they very well might turn out to be sensational if a few years. The Yankee trade was MEH. They all have one thing in common: in addition to the principals of the trades (Eloy, Cease, Gio, Lopez, Yoan, Kopech) on the receiving end, Sox got a whole bunch of junky players who really never had a chance of helping. Too numerous to mention. Why bother, Hahn? Just get some good players in return. It just smacks of the other GM's convincing Hahn to take the deals because of quantity. Oh well. But, in two pages of posts, nobody mentions the Tatis fuck up. He had three hits last night, by the way, and looked sensational. I just can't get over the sheer incompetence. If he ever took a moment to explain his action, I might be able to understand it. It was a bozo move, and one is too many.

So he is less than a five tool player??

Oh, yeah.

I like his bandana

Hawk didn't like him.

Which Gonzales? Catcher or OF?

No argument, but you sound like Wite from the Rodon days.

6 outfielders on W-S roster.

Good question. I also noticed he has 16 SB's.

Where do you get JDM coming to the White Sox?

Mine were Chico vs Roy Smalley.

The signing period is relatively short, Dog. Of course they want them to get playing time this year.

Alonso has 226 PA's so far. At that rate, he will vest.

Good for you to mention this. You might think of yourself as Grammar Police, but you are actually doing folks a favor. If a business letter goes out with this style of prose, the recipient might think that the sender is uneducated at best, or just lazy at worst.

You sound like a Hahn supporter, Poppy. The Tatis/Shields fuck up is more than a bump. There are other non bumps.

We'll never know if Sox could have developed Tatis, who is back in the San Diego lineup, getting 3 hits yesterday.

Don't think so.

He was in Chicago yesterday watching his younger brother make his MLB debut for Rockies.

I wonder how fast Madrigal is. Yolmer fast? Moncada fast? Certainly not Robert fast.....

Who recommended that he fire Tony?

Rockies just sent down last year's ace pitcher, Freeland. In 2018 he was awesome, this year he gets shelled.

Jack, kids don't want to start college in three years, maybe four. Who would, if you can't play ball. Geez, you would be 22ish hanging around with 19 year olds.

Right now, today, Yolmer is a better hitter than Madrigal. Hopefully, the lines will cross sometime next year.

Jet lag.

#27 Pick Tyler Osik will never make it. Too small to be a first baseman.
