whitesoxfan101 Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 27, 2011 -> 09:51 AM) How do you hold guys on guaranteed contracts "acceptable"? (I'm going to milk this typo for a while). You really can't. That's why people like the manager and GM are held "acceptable". Except in our organization.

maggsmaggs Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 27, 2011 -> 10:48 AM) My 10:43AM prediction was pretty damn good Haha, yeah. That was amazing. QUOTE (GreatScott82 @ Jul 27, 2011 -> 10:50 AM) KW interview will happen in 10 mins to explain deal. Wonder what kind of fluff he will spew out how this deal makes the Sox just as competitive in 2011, but even better in 2012. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harfman77 Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 So from the USA today story, we are not getting a prospect from TOR, StL is, we get Frasor and $10MM in salary relief. Sox must be getting all of Frasor paid for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigruss Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jul 27, 2011 -> 10:51 AM) Toronto is getting a could-be elite young outfielder for our f***ing property. I imagine a future built around Rasmus, Beckham, and Viciedo, and yeah, I'm f***ing angry. I'm guessing Stl stood strong on needing Viciedo to be the prospect. If it was Reed my guess is that deal (Ejax, Thor, Reed) wouldve been done a few days ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Jul 27, 2011 -> 10:50 AM) This isn't really players being held "acceptable" as much as it's salary dumping because the team hasn't played well enough to draw the fans needed to cover the heavy payroll load. The players that should be held accountable (Rios, Dunn, Beckham, Pierre) won't be. Eh autocorrect should be accoutable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WHY THE f*** would KW not just do that? You can play the hindsight game and forget all his awesome moves, fine. But thinking Toronto's not throwing in a top prospect (which we don't have other than Dayan) is stupid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whitesoxfan101 Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 I've been a lot more upset than I am because the Blue Jays likely got Rasmus (who is a GREAT talent, but is a bit hot and cold with his peformance and doesn't seem great in the clubhouse) instead of us due to having better prospects. However, the fact that they did just shows yet again that our inability to have a good minor league system really, really hurts us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sox must be getting all of Frasor paid for. Ugh, this All-In crap is going to set us back if thats true. I can't believe this part. We need young talent, instead we're just shedding payroll, only to have to spend again to put out a decent team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamshack Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Jul 27, 2011 -> 10:42 AM) Posters need to listen to you and DocSox more. It actually makes a lot of sense, replace Thornton next year with Frasor as 7/8th inning guy or trade both (as they will both be in high demand for teams competing now). I see plenty of moves following this one. My problem is just the timing of the deal. I refuse to believe that the Red Sox or Yankees wouldn't have been willing to eat Teahen's contract and actually give you back something that could be used for our future. I don't get why we need to do this deal on Wednesday morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And there's a reason I overrate prospects to a degree. It's THIS time of year where your scouting and player development gets a chance to shine. We won't spend. We take football players that can't play baseball. Latin America? Who needs it. Go trade for JP and Mark Teahen.

Cerbaho-WG Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 The Chicago White Sox have traded starting pitcher Edwin Jackson and infielder Mark Teahen to the Toronto Blue Jays in exchange for reliever Jason Frasor and prospects, f***, calm down people.
