It would be great if 100% of our players were home grown but it wouldn’t hurt to trade some and bring in somebody.You need at least one more SP, assuming Schultz keeps his spot. You have Shane Smith, Adams, Thorpe, McDougal, Sandlin. Trade two of those for a known commodity.None of those prospects would move the needle to get you a known commodity. Plus with them coming back from injuries, not sure how much value they have. Also moving cost controlled pitching for less control isnt ideal. Plus could slide some of those guys to pen.
Monday at 07:44 PM2 days Compared to last year, and with the potential cba issues in the fall, do people think teams are going to be asking for more for their players or less, and is taking on less money going to be more valuable or less?I have felt like for a few years, positional prospects are now worth a ton. The idea of trading Bonemer means sox would be going after a top player with control. But looking at most deals last year, they were pitcher prospects or positional players ranked 10+ in the system.

Monday at 09:32 PM2 days I love this year being termed as house money with baseball up in the air next year. Definitely a good idea to take this year for granted. I'm sure it'll be easily replicated in a shortened year if all goes well.
Yesterday at 03:58 AM1 day Grab the best starting pitcher you can for Carlson and go to war. Improve if possible elsewhere on the margins with a right handed catcher or something like that.Otherwise, just rely on bringing more kids up.

Then in his first year in the minors, he gets hurt and hasn’t had a chance to develop yet. And we want to trade him right now for the best starting pitcher we can get? I just can’t get behind that idea. Seems like this would be selling at his lowest possible value.

Lowest possible would be like Gonzo as a hitter after being in the system a couple years before Charlotte. He still was a high draft pick and is a premiere defender.

Yesterday at 04:53 AM1 day 0 hr/11 rbi 727 ops and on the injured list in A ball isn't going to get you much in way of controlled starting pitching
Yesterday at 07:52 AM1 day I do not entirely ascribe to the idea that the White Sox are "playing with house money" this season, or in any season. So they have already exceeded expectations ...so what. Never rest on the promise of the future at the expense of the present, in sports, or in life. We have a special team right now - a solid group of players whose skill sets and personalities compliment one another. With a few breaks and some luck, they can win. Sorry for that...but with all the talk about prospects, come Friday, it will be time to focus on winning now.
Yesterday at 12:25 PM1 day A healthy Shane Smith, Everson Perira, and Edgar Quero added to the roster isn't looking so bad. So many sellers are now either buyers or holding steady.

Assuming he does come back he would be an upgrade over Perez against LP. Shane Smith has been getting back to his old form as of late and would be a nice addition. I would take Q over Romo right now.
Yesterday at 03:30 PM1 day If CMont keeps swinging at balls and then taking a fastball right down the middle for strike three, hemight be the guy traded. .300 OBA is too low. He has to be more selective. His defense is starting to show cracks as well. It looks like the league has him figured out.

Yesterday at 03:34 PM1 day Sox should push in and try to make it happen this year. There’s no need to trade a major prospect to do it. We know better than most that tomorrow is never guaranteed. It’s not wise to assume everyone stays good/improves.
