January 9, 200818 yr Saw this on Scott Reifert's blog... thought it was interesting. "Here is a list of minor-league pitchers traded by the White Sox since October 2000:" (any missing?) 2000 Mark Roberts Brian Schmack Aaron Myette 2001 Gary Majewski Mike Williams Orlando Rodriguez Andre Simpson Matt Dewitt Derek Hasselhoff Daniel Mozingo Josh Fogg 2002 Matt Guerrier Joe Valentine 2003 Eddi Candelario Jason Aspito Delvis Lantigua Edwin Almonte Royce Ring Frankie Francisco Josh Rupe Tim Bittner Scott Dunn Jake Meyer 2005 Ryan Meaux Daniel Haigwood Gio Gonzalez 2006 Jeff Bajenaru Javier Lopez B.J. LaMura Daniel Cortes Tyler Lumsden 2007 Dwayne Pollock 2008 Gio Gonzalez Fautino De Los Santos Edited January 9, 200818 yr by scenario
January 9, 200818 yr This is pretty good evidence of a) our drafting/development ineptitude, B) the relative worthlessness --or maybe i should say overratedness, if that's a word -- of prospects in general (I mean, I'm sure we got some useful players in return for some of those guys) and c) solid reasoning behind the swisher trade. now what would be interesting to me is to see the prospect rankings of some of those guys at the time of their trades. Most likely none of them were at the level of Gio or DLS but if they were, that's even MORE evidence. anybody got that information?

Sorry to be offtopic here, but I just noticed you were from Ann Arbor, are you a student or what? I thought I was the only Sox fan here!

January 9, 200818 yr I suppose Rauch was no longer considered a prospect when he was traded. BTW, that is one pathetic list of pitchers.
January 9, 200818 yr QUOTE(The Beast @ Jan 8, 2008 -> 08:59 PM) Ann Arbor is a whore. Yes it is. And I was actually PISSED about trading Haigwood. I thought for sure he was money in the bank, guess not.
January 9, 200818 yr I can't believe the Whitesox traded away their future like that Edited January 9, 200818 yr by striker62704
January 9, 200818 yr QUOTE(striker62704 @ Jan 9, 2008 -> 09:55 AM) I can't believe the Whitesox traded away their future like that Further proof that the Swisher trade was awful.
January 9, 200818 yr So does this list lend Kenny a little bit of credibility when the subject of trading away prospects comes up?
January 9, 200818 yr QUOTE(Palehosefan @ Jan 9, 2008 -> 03:05 PM) Eventually you gotta wonder why teams trade with us :-P. Well that would explain the lack of interest from teams dealing with us the past couple of years.I think we have to improve the farm with excellent draft picks the next 3 years straight or this organizations future will be pretty bleak for the next decade.
January 9, 200818 yr QUOTE(RME JICO @ Jan 9, 2008 -> 03:25 PM) Now what is the list of players we got in return for those players? Or the list of minor league pitchers the Sox have traded FOR and where they ended up.
January 9, 200818 yr Not that its important, but isn't that list missing some and a little wrong? We shipped Anthony Webster with Rupe and Francisco to Texas in 03. Majew got traded in 04 for Everett the second time. We also traded Alex Fernandez and Humberto Quintero for Jimenez in 02. Not a big deal, but just wanted to note it. There might be more missing.

January 9, 200818 yr QUOTE(Kalapse @ Jan 9, 2008 -> 04:17 PM) Reifert's list only includes pitching prospects the guys you mentioned are all position players. I feel dumb. I guess I should have read.
