I dunno, but seriously, I think the Mets may kick themselves a little bit for letting a guy go to the Phillies to fill the same hole in their lineup that the mets have for this price.

The mets have trouble letting anyone minor leaguers go for a "rent-a-player."

So we should expect a couple of churros and an autographed Pete Incaviglia card from Texas for Dye?

 

And if that is all KW gets.. You need to shut your mouth.. He knows more than you... that's what we got told in Spring training.

Iguchi came through in one of the biggest at bats in franchise history. His homer after the ball went through Tony G's legs was very underrated. The White Sox most likely would have lost that game if not for that, and who knows what would have happened. Here's to you Gooch.

ROTFLMAO!!!

So Kenny originally drafted Dubee. Seems like one of his guys.

Again, what did you expect for a poor defensive player in the last year of his contract, hitting .250 with only 6 home runs and 30 RBI. What exactly?

More than a 21 year old single A relief pitcher with mediocre peripherals. This is, after all, the value received from a ballclub losing their All-Star second baseman.

Enough with the personal stuff guys, keep it on topic.

The Chicago White Sox have acquired right-handed pitcher Michael Dubee from the Philadelphia Phillies in exchange for second baseman Tadahito Iguchi.

 

Dubee, 21, is 4-4 with a 3.88 ERA (24 ER/55.2 IP), one save and 54 strikeouts in 30 relief appearances this season with Class A Lakewood of the South Atlantic League. The 6-foot-2, 175-pounder has averaged 8.7 strikeouts per 9.0 IP and has allowed just two home runs.

 

Dubee was selected by the Phillies in the 18th round of the June 2006 First-Year Player Draft. He has gone 5-7 with a 4.05 ERA (45 ER/100.0 IP) and 82 strikeouts in 42 games (10 starts) over two minor-league seasons.

 

Dubee is the son of Phillies pitching coach Rich Dubee.

 

Iguchi, 32, is batting .251 (82-327) with 17 doubles, four triples, six home runs and 31 RBI in 90 games with the White Sox this season. He is a career .273 (380-1,393) hitter with 39 home runs, 169 RBI and 216 runs scored in three seasons with the White Sox.

 

Iguchi originally was signed by the White Sox as a free agent on January 27, 2005 after spending eight seasons with the Fukuoka Daiei Hawks in the Japanese Pacific League.

My picture below sums up the thanks a lot of us have to Tadahito for his major contributions to our Championship

Didn't expect much in dealing with Iguchi, and that's what we got. Just remember, KW is horrible at trading his veteran players for prospects. And please stop talking about how we cost ourselves compensation picks, as that's not accurate. Now let's hope Richar shows he can be a major league player.

Rotoworld's take:

 

White Sox acquired RHP Michael Dubee from the Phillies for second baseman Tadahito Iguchi.

 

A very disappointing return for the White Sox, who must have wanted to go to Danny Richar pretty badly. Dubee had a 3.88 ERA and a 54/22 K/BB ratio in 55 2/3 innings of relief for low Single-A Lakewood. The White Sox would have been a lot better off getting draft picks in return for Iguchi, but they might have been afraid that he'd accept arbitration as a free agent this winter.

I'm out of here. He can turn red in the face and shake with anger for all I care.

Ok, then what exactly? Please tell me. I am sure the Phillies could look for other options than Iguchi if they wanted to pay more. How about someone that is actually good, like Loretta?

As it's already been said in this thread, we wouldn't get draft picks in compensation for Gooch this winter.

Rotoworld sure seems to think so?

With Mets, Padres and Phils all looking for 2b.. the best we get back is a A RP who will never make it to the majors?

Is rotoworld ran by cubs fans, they always hate everything white sox related?

I think I'm going to be sick.

However I do believe that is incorrect...

I think I'm going to be sick.

 

Why, this is a good thing we traded him. I was fearful we'd bring him back. We need someone who can play better defense and not absolutely suck vs LHP.

Why would they pay for him when there is actually a good player out there in Loretta that can help so much more? Loretta should bring something back in return - he is actually a good player. Iguchi? Please. It looks like the Sox were just making room for Richar to come up and get some playing time, which is great with me.
