July 30, 20241 yr Author I assume Rosado had an injury shortly after his signing and then flopped upon his return as a starter. Hard to complain about his debut as a reliever. Old for the level but has minimal experience so it's not like it's a guy who has needed 200 innings to solve low-A.
July 30, 20241 yr Just now, PaleAleSox said: No. In what world are you getting a real prospect for Paul Dejong? Why would you even think that's possible? DeJong was worthless, we should be happy they got anything at all here.

Why would you even think that's possible? he's a decent starting player. you should be able to get more than just a reliever for that. Even like an 18 year old position player would be better.

July 30, 20241 yr The return is fine. We knew Paul DeJong was not going to net anything of real value. This pitcher is at least doing well in A-ball. Who knows?

July 30, 20241 yr man soxtalk loves age appropriate or older relievers in A ball. They are amazed they are available for trade.

July 30, 20241 yr 4 minutes ago, PaleAleSox said: If you are going to be mad about what the return was for Dejong then I think you need to go take a walk around the block and clear your head. When Sox fans were told all year that we were benching kids so that we could build trade value for these guys, the return is everything. I know that we weren't expecting much, but FFS why did we waste a year of playing him then?

If you move him to 2B or 3B he immediately gets more valuable. I'm not saying he's a star, I'm not even saying he's a solid regular, but he's not a bum and you should be able to get more than just a guy that is like a player creator reliever that doesn't even have a real avatar.

Both players that you would plug into the lineup right after you acquire them. Edited July 30, 20241 yr by WhiteSox2023

Old for the level but has minimal experience so it's not like it's a guy who has needed 200 innings to solve low-A. Quote Rosado signed with the Royals out of the Dominican Republic in 2020. He missed the entire 2022 season due to injury, then struggled in his return last season. He appeared in 15 games for the Surprise Royals last season, pitching to a 10.38 ERA with 23 walks in 25 innings. The strikeout stuff offers some potential, however. Last season he struck out 12.1 batters per nine innings and he’s replicated that exact number again this season. What hasn’t been replicated this season has been the walk rate. Now with Low-A Columbia, Rosado has walked just four hitters in 23.0 IP this season. He owns a 2.74 ERA. His 2.21 FIP doesn’t show any sign of regression on the horizon, but he does work around a fair number of hits in each outing. Rosado throws a fastball, slider, and a changeup and has worked out of the bullpen in a late-inning role this season.

July 30, 20241 yr I partially wonder if trading him means less paper work. The HR guy was in Getz's office and said I'm up to my ass in paper work with the other 15 guys we need to get rid of just trade someone so I can leave early on Friday.
July 30, 20241 yr Probably a guy we never hear about again but you weren't getting much for him anyway so whatever.

Yes, but then took 19 year olds for the rest of the trade. They may look at a couple for now players, but the focus is too improve for the up coming years.

You been watching recently? He stinks at 3B.
