December 9, 201411 yr Chris was one of the best player sources FutureSox ever worked with, so I wanted to start this thread and point that out. He did an interview with us and was unusually honest, wrote a guest article for us, kept us up to date on goings-on including occasional "insider" stuff, and was just generally great to work with. Here is the article he wrote for us early this year, and here is our interview with him from 2013. So, best of luck in Oakland, Chris. I'll be rooting for you (except against the Sox of course).

December 9, 201411 yr Thanks for everything Chris, you've been awesome. As is the nature of minor leaguers, you can be traded if you're good, but that will bring about an opportunity at the MLB level. Hope the Sox hit you hard and you break the bats of everyone else!
December 9, 201411 yr I was high on him than most people so I hope he does well also. Really hope it was Thompson and Beck instead of him, but regardless, the trade definitely makes us better this year.
December 9, 201411 yr Chris is a great guy and I think he'll be a quality reliever. I think we miss him more then we miss Semien, not because I am saying Chris is the better player, more because Chris filled a bigger need on the team. He was one of the few in-house major league ready pieces that I think will be a very good reliever. Wish him the best of luck!!!
