Another trade.

So who's getting released from charlotte and promoted or demoted to manny

It's funny, when I saw this on Twitter I went "Oh hell yes!", and then I realized he's 28 now and it's not 2010 when he was a top 20 prospect in baseball.

 

Man, he was great with Philly, and then really became mediocre when Oakland acquired him. I see he is being assigned to AAA, but he's got to be better than Sierra right? At least, offensively.

Rick Hahn will acquire everyone for cash considerations

Kind of sucks losing Jake Sanchez. Although he was dominating a league he was too old for, I wanted to see how he did in AA. Maybe the Sox felt it would be better to trade him now before he gets exposed in AA, and let the A's find out for themselves.

They gave up SP Jake Sanchez from Kanny.

He's been pretty solid in the minors sans this year. Never really showed anything in the majors. Maybe he's a Steverson guy.

That's a good point, I never thought about that. Steverson would know this kid by now.

Now he's just making trades out of pure boredom, right?

I don't get it either. They had Hernandez who is pretty much the same thing stat wise. Has to be a Steverson thing.

It's interesting timing considering they just picked up Tuiasosopo, and still have Danks, Tekotte, and Mitchell on the Charlotte roster....and they want to give Semien some playing time in the OF.

Mitchell has got to be released any day now. And maybe we will see Danks or Taylor called up if the Sox dump Sierra or trade De Aza.

I've always liked Taylor. Hopefully he earns a shot with the Sox. Sanchez is a small price to pay.

 

I still am absolutely love everything Rick Hahn has done.

Hmmmm... Stanford.

Your poor grammar aside, aren't you exaggerating just a bit?

 

You LOVE Paulina? Not like, not understand, but you LOVE the Paulina signing?

You LOVE Mitch Boggs? Not like, not understand, but you LOVE the Boggs signing?

You LOVE the Davidson trade?

You LOVE the Sierra signing?

You LOVE de Aza?

Hmmmm... Stanford.

 

Victim of the "Stanford Swing".

De Aza was not Hahn, it was KW that brought him in.

And he was damn good at first.

De Aza had nothing to do with Hahn, and Sierra was a waiver claim injury replacement. And yes, still like the Davidson trade. It's 'Paulino'

Didn't he tender him a contract this past offseason. I am not saying it was wrong because I think De Aza is going to get hot and at come at least close to his norm before it is over, but his being on the roster is Hahn.

 

If you love everything Hahn has done great. But even Hahn hasn't loved everything Hahn has done.

 

 

Chances Michael Taylor ever helps the White Sox win games is close to zero. This was to help Charlotte win some games. Their record is brutal. Sometimes. You have to throw them a bone.

No, you're right, they aren't all hits in retrospect. I'd definitely mulligan 10-20% of them.

 

But I don't think there's anything that he's done that I haven't liked at the time he did it. Each one is a gamble, so they won't ever all work out.

Oh hey, a former top prospect.

 

Didn't he get traded for Brett Wallace?

Thought this was for Adam Lopez first and got mad. Not Hispanicist, honest.

What's to lose?

 

Charlotte has a brand-new stadium and a terrible record, so any little bit of excitement helps. God knows, Erik Johnson hasn't been providing it.

 

If you want to pick on Hahn, it's easier to choose Keppinger and Downs, for example, although Scott had a great track record of consistent performance coming into 2014. Paulino didn't cost that much, and picking up Noesi more than erased that bad move.

 

DeAza is still better than anyone we have at the moment for that position, although they might as well give Taylor a shot at some point to see if he can catch fire. Better than the 8th rendition of Jordan Danks.

It does amaze me how time and time again people like other team's crap a lot more than the White Sox crap.
