He has been hurt, he is cheap, plays great defense, has speed, has options. This doesnt hurt the team and there is upside. How many of us thought Tristan Peters, Hudson, Richards, or a lot of guys would amount to much of anything. I can't believe I am saying this but I think Getz and company have earned a little benefit of the doubt. If he is terrible then it only hurts if Mason Adams or the other guy become legit MLB players. This wont make or break the season, we can be more critical of the SP and catcher trades which hopefully happen. Lets wait and see what occurs there.

2 hours ago2 hr 21 minutes ago, soxrwhite said:I guess he will platoon with Peters in CF, but who comes off the active? I gotta believe something else is simmering.Peters is in a slump but he is a 2026 All Star. The balls he has hit hard will start falling for hits. No reason to be so reactive to every hitting slump and bump in the road that every player experiences. They Scout a player for holes in their swing, and after time, a player will adjust. Peters will.This trade was a head scratcher. Edited 2 hours ago2 hr by tray

1 hour ago1 hr Getz loading up with negative WAR. on what planet do we need a 5th OF? We had one and sent him to Philly for chicken feed.Stop listening to these other GMs. They are not you friend.

1 hour ago1 hr Sean has an interesting take on the tradeX (formerly Twitter)CHGO White Sox (@CHGO_WhiteSox) on XBrenton Doyle trade reaction from @Sean_W_Anderson! Sox get a controllable center fielder…but the price may have been too high?
1 hour ago1 hr Safe to say that the Gold Glove defense will be flashing from day one and here’s the hope of form that our coaching staff can help him rediscover and build on:

1 hour ago1 hr For the prospect aficionados, would Adams actually be considered a top ten prospect? Also I think we are taking for granted how, for the most part, we have stayed healthy this year. Trade could be safeguarding against cluster injuries if they were to occur.

Looks like he is slotted at #19 in the Rockies system now. Edited 1 hour ago1 hr by WhiteSox2023

Look at the defense. Rockies announcer at one point described him as, “the best centerfielder in Rockies history” after he made an amazing catch.If the brain trust ISNT able to turn him around at the dish - this is a platoon guy with outstanding defense, a laser arm, and speed that guys us a second option off the bench when pinch running may help us in close one run games.Regarding his bat - he isn’t a Coors only power threat. If we can get him right, he can hit it out in any park.The more I look into this move, the more I get it.

If we can get him right, he can hit it out in any park.The more I look into this move, the more I get it.I don’t mean to rain on your parade but Ray Ray already called this out. Take a look at his home/away splits, especially when he was actually able to hit prior to the past two seasons. He is the very definition of a “Coors-made” hitting threat. He has hit worse than Timo Perez away from Coors in his career. It’s nice that he can hit an occasional homerun but I see a career .573 OPS on the road. That’s mind-blowingly awful.
