I think if the Sox make a trade where they're moving young prospects it wouldn't be for a top top prospect. That's really hard to pull off. The cost for Senzel would be Kopech. Even then I doubt the Reds do it.

To the point of the thread, I think it might be getting better from this week. This may be the bottom point.

But how much better would he be doing if he had 65 at bats in the bigs last September?

Totally. I was ready to call up Kopech in May. Now it's harder to rationalize. Also, Kopech has 15 innings til he reaches his innings number from last year. How many more innings do they have in store? In any case, I agree with your/Law's point generally speaking, but I think at this point in time, Kopech's situation is an exception to the rule of sorts.

You using metrics?

On April 20th of 2019 if you are running the White Sox do you want to have Kopech/Jimenez with 6 years of control or 5 years of control? The ramifications involved with this situation aren't nearly as far out as Law is presenting.

I can't task myself with exchanging with Larry but I responded to Nolan.

I know you can't fathom a situation where you're not correct, but whatever they did with Moncada last year doesn't matter. If we were talking about Moncada, then it would matter. Moncada had MLB experience when acquired. They are different players and different situations.

Yes and aren't we the fanbase that b****ed about the team rushing the players for a decade? Now letting them get more time in AAA is counterproductive? Something doesn't add up...

Yeah I agree totally. It's not like every player is the exact same and once you treat one situation a certain way you have to do that without exception moving forward. That would be silly. While you have a point with Kopech, I don't think it matters with Jimenez. Dude will hit and will hit from the start.

Preston Tucker sucks. Adam Duvall is a nice player if used correctly.

My post says 4-7 seed.

No one said let's assume everything goes right. I know that makes for an easier argument for you to take down but it's not what happened. The Bulls have a very young roster. If there is a key positive development or net positive developments throughout the year it's very much reasonable they are a playoff team. The ECF is bad.

Yeah I am with Steve. Past Boston, the '6ers and Toronto the East is shit. If Levine stays healthy and/or Parker/Markkanen take a step forward I really think the Bulls fall somewhere from 4-7 in playoff seeding. While plenty will acknowledge that is NBA hell I don't know what else the Bulls can do.
