You'll excuse me if I don't buy in to your crystal ball. I asked a simple question just a minute ago is Eisert was pitching 1 or more innings and no one ventured even a guess. Most here are afraid to be wrong even on a softball question. Eisert not known for multiple innings outings. Has been a 1 inning opener before. But they 'll tell you when someone is a bust secure with the knowledge that most prospects never reach the lofty expectations of fans and even if they end up succeeding they won't get called out on it. Maybe there's not enough people in the game thread . But I stand by my conclusions. 

Slater !!!

Well we have seen enough openers this year with Venable to know they only go 1-2 innings.

Maybe Gilbert or Shuster went the longest as former starters.

Makes total sense.  They need starting pitching help and Houser would be a cheap option.

there are a lot of those teams 

do the Sox have the IQ to know what's the best offer

Plus isn't he a rental, those don't fetch much

Just think how much worse they will be after that and may get to see Clevinger

Well we know that you don’t believe in them.  Because you tell us, in every post, because I dunno you just like whining

Can’t trade a stud like Houser to the Cubs, even if they get back a decent prospect.  Can’t help them win another WS.

When the White Sox won in 2005, Jon Garland was second in team WAR, only behind Buehrle. Don't remember a ton of stories about how much the Cubs helped the Sox win a world series. 

Take the best package available.

Houser ain’t pushing them over the top

So true.  There is nothing new under the sun when it comes to this organization.  This is all we have left.

He's not pushing them over the top, but he could certainly help them. If they put him in the rotation, it allows them to move someone like Cade Horton or Colin Rea to the bullpen. But the Cubs bullpen has been pretty lights out the last few months, they need starters to eat up 5-6 innings and keep them in games for their bats.

I’m not saying he won’t be good for them but I have a weird feeling about the cubs this season and don’t think they are destined for that crown.

if they want to send prospects for Houser, I’m all for it

The question is who do the Sox replace him with?  Will it be a Clevinger sighting or a dumpster dive?

As for a dumpster dive what would stop another team from doing the same thing.

Answer:  Who cares, this season means nothing.  Same with the season after this one, and almost certainly the season after that.  Get guys who you have a chance at having in 2030.
