Former three time top 100 prospect who is still young - seems worthy of a gamble on a guy like Houser

 

Bingo.  Not bad honestly.

It's not really a fixing thing as much as he's just getting going. He's been mediocre in the majors but great in AAA and was a top 70 prospect a year ago. 

Very true

Wait I thought "something" was better than "nothing" and now people are complaining about it? 

Not me.  Anything is better than nothing.

Fuller will fix em

I f*** with this.

But also very funny that this is a quintessential Rick Hahn return.

Yeah, he obviously wasn't worth much so even a utility type guy was worth it.

Which is why the thought of ever retaining Houser was moronic…

I''m sure a lot of people wanted younger players but player-quality wise this is far more than I expected especially last second. 

Guy mashed between 20yr and 22. Wonder what's happened since. Also seemed like a few injuries.

 

stealing this off of twitter (he's australian)

Yea. Mead peaked at 35th best prospect in baseball I believe? He's worth a shot.

I’m sorry buddy, what’s your beef with the “former top prospect” angle?

People have been citing it as a market inefficiency without actually supporting it with anything but feels. 

Still love this return as much opinions on Houser are pretty known. 

Oh?

Yeah, he had a left wrist fracture in 2023 and some other more minor stuff over the years.

People are genuinely mad/sad at this get for Houser? I love it.

White Sox get Curtiss Mead , Duncan Davitt and Ben Peoples for Hauser.

Wrist injuries scare me as they can zap power so that makes a lot of sense.

Peoples is mildly interesting. Davitt is basically AAA filler.

Yeah, looks like it.  He’s just turning 25 in October.  Play Vargas and Mead everyday at the corners.  I guess they wanted Tauchman for next year cuz he’s cheap, but I’d rather see what Danger Will can do in RF.  I guess they can both alternate the corner OF and DH with Benintendi, but Robertson should get a lot of playing time.

It’s more amazing that he broke the additional prospect names.
