WestEddy Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 45 minutes ago, Rey21 said: More teams will be ready to jump come the deadline, One thing I've read a few times is that key to the deadline is it's right after the draft, and teams have a better feel for where their systems are. They may have just picked up 2 prime prospects, and feel good about letting the older guys go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 1 hour ago, SoCalChiSox said: What's the point of a 70 arm if you are at 1B? I'm glad he has alot of power but he's still RH which is a problem. Kjerstad and Westburg and one of the pitchers. That's about 50m-55m in SV and that's around where Cease should be taking into account the SP premium. If he has a 70 arm, but is talked about as a 1B, that must mean he either can't move, can't catch, or both. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It helps with DPs, and if you can throw, you'll occasionally get someone at 3B. Also you are a cutoff guy, so it helps. Maybe not as much as other positions, but heing able to throw is a good thing.

Chicago White Sox Posted January 25 Author Share Posted January 25 6 hours ago, fathom said: New WS Talk podcast with Jesse Rogers about Cease. Sounds like it’s Orioles or bust, but likely no trade before the season starts. He implied that the Sox are asking for Mayo. I like it…but don’t see the prospect hugger giving up his precious Mayo.

caulfield12 Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 (edited) Surprised Sports Guy and Rolle Tide haven't responded attacking the idea of Mayo and suggesting Ortiz Norby and Urias or Mountcastle instead. Maybe still traumatized by Nick Saban surprise retirement and mass defections. Edited January 25 by caulfield12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eh....the concept of a RH 1B being the main compensation is still problematic to me. Anyway it's likely moot because Elias will not trade him for Cease and even if he did, it would likely be a 1 for 1 straight up trade, at most. I'd rather have Kjerstad, one of the IFers and one of pitchers rather than just Mayo and that's it anyway. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Y2Jimmy0 Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 5 hours ago, caulfield12 said: Because you want Montgomery at third? Mayo can also play 1B and corner outfield and has a 70 arm…supposedly. Basallo is off the table for sure. Always comes back to some combo of Kjerstad Cowser Westburg…then prospects that are two or more years out. 1 hour ago, Chicago White Sox said: What’s the concern with Mayo?

They have been playing him at 3B so far in his career. The 1B talk is because he is massive, not because he can’t move. Whether he can catch remains to be seen, but many scouts have been viewed the OF being his ideal position. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And while I’d prefer a savage all else being equal, Mayo has a truly elite ceiling offensively and the handedness is much less of an issue. He is way better prospect than Hjerstad or Westburg IMO.

As between trade A or B what is your preference and why: A. Cease for Mayo straight up. B. Cease for Kjerstad, Norby/Ortiz and Povich/McDermott.
