December 9, 201411 yr QUOTE (iamshack @ Dec 9, 2014 -> 11:34 AM) Ack, he's a bust...but has some upside for the pen at least. The Sox have acquired other busts and turned them into big time players previously. I don't mind it at all.
December 9, 201411 yr QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Dec 9, 2014 -> 11:35 AM) Such a White Sox minor leaguer to get. Sounds like a project, but hey, it's something.
December 9, 201411 yr According to the mlb.com prospect list, the Sox didn't give up a single guy in their top 20. Haha
December 9, 201411 yr QUOTE (shysocks @ Dec 9, 2014 -> 10:31 AM) Post-Laroche DH? It's not that far-fetched to suggest, I think. Anyway, I liked the guy. Props to those who called Phegley too. Definitely won't miss him. And platoon partner for him in the interim was what I was hoping. Crunchella will probably hit 200 OPS points better against LHP than ALaR by the time he's acclimated, dude mashes em' - can't imagine that he wouldn't have destroyed that bandbox in Charlotte, allowing for a midseason arrival. Billy's building another dirt-cheap platoon team, so he can pay some of his pitchers as they mature. Edited December 9, 201411 yr by Stan Bahnsen
December 9, 201411 yr QUOTE (flavum @ Dec 9, 2014 -> 11:35 AM) Sounds like a project, but hey, it's something. A project with a high upside arm. Very White Sox.

December 9, 201411 yr Ynoa a bust? Dudes just turned 23. Coop'll fix 'em and we just snagged another bullpen piece. Yeah buddy!!! Edit: probably not this year though. Still hasn't cracked AA. Edited December 9, 201411 yr by South Sider
December 9, 201411 yr Overall I love this trade. Samardzija brings us a solid #2 starter. Ynoa's starting days are likely over, but he can be real good in the bullpen. Semien- trade from depth with Sanchez and Micah Bassitt- could develop into back end starter, best suited in for bullpen Phegley- no future with the team with 5 catchers Ravelo- loved him but no way he was going to play here with Abreu.
December 9, 201411 yr Saw this on twitter and made me laugh. Sox are going to have the two most ticked off pitchers in baseball in the rotation.
December 9, 201411 yr QUOTE (shipps @ Dec 9, 2014 -> 11:37 AM) And there was still people upset by what they gave up. Lol gotta love it. Semien was certainly more valuable than most of those 20 guys though.

December 9, 201411 yr 2013 White Sox had 47 players. 15 remain. Viciedo, Ramirez, Flowers, Gillaspie, Sale, Quintana, Jones, Danks, Danks, Rienzo, Garcia, Garcia, Petricka, Webb, E Johnson Well done, Hahn and Co.

December 9, 201411 yr QUOTE (TheTruth05 @ Dec 9, 2014 -> 11:41 AM) Dan Hayes @CSNHayes 31s32 seconds ago #WhiteSox 40-man roster is down to 38 with the move. Will be up to 39 shortly. Hearing they may have signed a reliever. What a funny guy.

December 9, 201411 yr QUOTE (Baron @ Dec 9, 2014 -> 11:42 AM) Apparently we may have signed another reliever too He's got jokes since the Robertson thing isn't official yet.

Edit: probably not this year though. Still hasn't cracked AA. 23 year old who hasn't pitched in AA yet and started his pro career in 2010? Yeah he's probably a bust. Obviously injuries are a factor but that's good either. Still, worth the lotto ticket.
