caulfield12 Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 (edited) QUOTE (ptatc @ Jun 14, 2017 -> 04:59 PM) Who will they replace them with? If it's the highly touted young players, you should hope they won't be a bad team. Otherwise the future is bleak. It's not. They will be fine (see above). They would have to deal Avi, Kahnle and Abreu to fall off a cliff. Edited June 14, 2017 by caulfield12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again, it depends on who the Sox replace the traded players with. If it's just filler players then yes it will be ugly. If it's some of the more highly touted players, then they better hope it isn't ugly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one is screaming to be called up at this point. Now that might change in the next month, but as of today, those guys aren't exactly setting the world on fire.

Chicago White Sox Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 QUOTE (ptatc @ Jun 14, 2017 -> 05:59 PM) Who will they replace them with? If it's the highly touted young players, you should hope they won't be a bad team. Otherwise the future is bleak. You keep saying this and continue to not acknowledge there a maturity curve with young players. Just because a young struggles in year one does not mean he will be a bad player and it most definitely doesn't mean the future is bleak.

At any rate, without Avi, Leury, Davidson, Sanchez, Kahnle and Swarzak doing so well, yeah...it would be bleak/er. Holland and Pelfrey have done about as well as can be expected.

Superstar Lamar Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 That is the kind of loss I like: the young and/or tradable talent produced with the game blown by players who will not be on the team next year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if they all struggle to the point the team is bad, it's an issue. They can have isolated struggles, they probably should, but they can't all be bad for the entire time.

flavum Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 Marlins-Braves is the only suck vs suck series this weekend. If the Sox somehow swept the Blue Jays, they could go from 4 to 13 in a week. So don't do that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maxjusttyped Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 I just don't see this team finishing in the bottom 3 unless trades are made almost immediately. There is nothing to suggest this is one of the very worst teams in baseball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 You still have Beck, Petricka, Ynoa, Jennings, Nate Jones, Burdi, Fulmer...or Lopez, Danish, etc. That's if they trade Robertson, Swarzak and Kahnle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flavum Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 8th The top 8 NL teams won, and the bottom 7 lost. A's beat the Yankees, so that's good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daggins Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 Seems kind of pointless to follow this until after the trade deadline, no? The Sox will be mediocre-bad until then, and likely worse after. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
