Giving something of quality for Lance Lynn is one thing, for ~2 months of Cesar Hernandez is certainly quite another.

Could be worse.

Could have had Cesar for longer than 2 months.

    I'd rather have Yolmer than Garcia on this team. That's the level Garcia has driven me towards.

    When I was watching the Dodgers and Giants a few days ago all the ex Sox were playing, Yermin was in LF, Luis Gonzalez was playing. Trace Thompson was a hero with 2 big hits and a super catch over the

    That would have probably decapitated Eloy.

The thing is, he started looking good before going to Cleveland. His stats looked good and there were some favorable scouting reports on him. 

14 whiffs on 3.2 innings pitched, i watched the game. Thats an incredible number. After a shaky first few batters he looked very good. Not bad for a debut.

I am not too concerned about Pilkington being anything more than a mediocre backend SP.  That being said, we could certainly use him at the moment. We also traded him for quite possibly my least favorite White Sox of my lifetime, so that sucks

This got moves to diamond club because all of these dudes are now on other teams.

I added Danish, because inevitably, someone will mention him.

Don't forget Trayce Thompson, lol.

Luis Gonzalez.

@Quin can we add Kelenic, effectively killing that thread?

Only once he becomes the next Lastings Milledge or Phillip Humber.

Ummm...Humber at least threw a no hitter and was part of the rotation for awhile.  Not exactly Nick Williams or AJ Reed in terms of Sox impact.

Bro it was a perfect game...after which all of his magic died. If anyone has Humber's pre and post perfect game splits, I'd love to see them.

But I was mainly talking about super high draft pick / touted prospect.

That was also his 2nd start of the year. All you need to know is that he had a 7.39 ERA in 87.2 innings after the perfect game. 

I don't think throwing 96 pitches that game ruined his arm or anything though. 

Quintana shutting down the vaunted Dodgers through 5 2/3, sporting a nifty 2.73 ERA.

Looks like Rodon has improved his pitch mix so far this season. He's currently 2nd in fWAR amongst all pitchers in baseball.

Luis Gonzalez has looked great in the Giants games I've seen this year. Whatever voodo magic they have going on with their players, particularly with the hitters, is very impressive.

Yeah, I just looked him up again and noticed he was still hovering around an 800 OPS entering tonight...would have thought he'd already be down in the 650 range after a hot start.

I assume we didn't buy Codify because they told Jerry to sign Rodon.

Just picturing Giolito-Rodon-Cease-Lynn-Kopech right now is...absolutely disgusting. And it was right. fucking. there.

Rodon has the same odds to win the cy young in the NL as Scherzer and Burns.

But does he have the same odds of finishing the season???

At the very worst, he's third behind Burnes.

That said, playing on West Coast for a team other than the Dodgers means he will always get less media attention than the Yankees/Mets guys.

Whenever another team develops a former Sock, I imagine the drafting department just glaring at the development staff.

Semien is the most egregious, but Gonzalez can get added to the pile.

Nice to see Q doing well with the Pirates. He’ll be in demand if this keeps up.

Imagine how good Rodon's fastball would be if he uh, had a good work ethic, or whatever it was that the insiders on here were claiming about him over the off-season.

Rodon finally having a very poor start tonight against the Cardinals...

3 1/3, 8, 5 ER, 1, 3 through 59 pitches.
