might not be Tatis trade bad but it'll be really bad

They gotta have a real scouting effort, and a willingness to follow their opinions rather than worrying over public opinion. You can’t be compromised with the top pick. Whether or not the Bears got it right by mailing it in for Caleb, their process was total bull s%*#

I said "this ain't yard ball i've been smacked harder than your daddy's balls in a prostitution sting you gosh darn stupid retard" now i may have been vulgar at the start of it but i'm pretty sure the Bulls are going fourth in the draft...

just kidding draft rock to the white sox and caleb wilson to the bulls you fucking morons before they evict us to indiana like the bears

Kevin pritchard might be ejected from Indiana, too.

Losing a 52% chance at a Top 4 pick, now all the way to nba oblivion in just a year.

Sucks that the Giants are going to outbid us and get him. They'll really like him in San Fran.

utah will trade their 10 wives to get the first pick and then it should go caleb, peterson,, us with boozer but i hope it doesn't. do you have any idea how much of a thing it would be for mormon utah to trade up and draft the guy from BYU? it'd be like if Saudi Arabia was draftiing at 2 and didn't trade up to draft muhammad.

could you imagine the bulls not trading up to draft derrick rose and taking beasley with the second pick if we didn't hae the first one? that's where the jazz are right now.

Rose being from Chicago is way, way different than BYU buying AJ for 6 months

I blasted the Shields trade when it happened for two reasons:

1.) He was trash leading up to the trade.

2.) Figured if I could hit him as a teenager then opposing teams should tee off on him.

Nonsense. Several said it on Soxtalk right after the trade, including myownself.

Yep. It was funny because I seem to remember that we had heard about the trade rumors well before it happened and Shields went out and had some awful starts right before the trade went down. I can’t remember exactly how many starts Shield had after we all had initially heard the rumor but it was definitely enough time for Hahn to re-think the trade and not go through with it.

In his last start he gave up 10 runs and the Padres owner publicly ripped him a new one.

Whitesoxdave had the trade like a week before. Pretty sure the rumor broke the same day the Sox blew that awful game at KC.

That game ... blowing an 11-5 lead when five games up at 23-10 was the death blow.

Albers took the loss. Todd Frazier had a good game.

I know they use different bats and balls in college than they do major league baseballs, but 467 feet is insane. Mickey Mantle country.

That was one of the worst moves ever...I mean by any team, anywhere, any time. Rick Hahn, executive of the year ? No. He gets a failing grade. Hahn didn't do his homework. I was glad when JR fired Hahn and KW but he should have done it long before. He trusted those guys and they didn't deserve it.

Sox are pretty good now without Tatis and Machado, so I am looking forward rather than backward.

You have been demoted off the Hall of Fame List for this post and have earned such an honor. Hopefully you remain off that dreaded list.

Glad to see someone pointing out that neither team thought Tatis was the main part of the deal coming from the Sox

Shields gave 10 runs in Seattle right before the trade. A couple of weeks later, use a first round pick for a quick-to-the-majors college reliever. 6 Weeks after that, Hahn announces it's time to rebuild.

Problem with that trade was never Tatis Jr that was just downstream of the terrible decision to double down on a flawed roster.
