December 10, 201510 yr Great! This team needs a player with energy! Well done Sox FO, now get back to work.
December 10, 201510 yr QUOTE (Heads22 @ Dec 9, 2015 -> 08:10 PM) The Shuck stuff came from a fake account Ok, good. It was funny to see that because the thought crossed my mind they could move him and just keep Cabrera, Thompson, Garcia and Eaton, and not really need JB.
December 10, 201510 yr if there was a hold up on the prospects involve, i wonder which prospects were involve org.
December 10, 201510 yr #WhiteSox acquired Zack Erwin in 4th round of 2015 draft out of Clemson. They acquired J.B. Wendelken in the Peavy-A. Garcia deal. https://twitter.com/CSNHayes/status/674772782140530688
December 10, 201510 yr I thought we would have given up a lot more then that. I am more then happy with this deal.
December 10, 201510 yr That is hard to believe. I hope that's the deal. Wow!! Just Wow!! Now, they can spend money on one big bat, and just go with Saladino and Sanchez as their keystone combo. They shouldn't have to trade any one. Just sign a middle of the order bat, and they have a respectable offense. Edited December 10, 201510 yr by Lillian
December 10, 201510 yr There's absolutely no way you could be mad at this deal and what we gave up. You may not like the player but this isn't a bad deal. Hahn has turned Peavy into Avi, Montas, Rondon and JBW who now was dealt for Lawrie.
December 10, 201510 yr First thought on Lawrie trade...don't think #WhiteSox will ever regret sending LHP Zack Erwin or RHP J.B. Wendelken to Oakland https://twitter.com/scotgregor/status/674773846596059136

December 10, 201510 yr So glad we didn't give up much and the Sox are much improved but there is more to do!! Don't stop now boys!!
December 10, 201510 yr QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Dec 10, 2015 -> 03:12 AM) For reference, Wendelken was ranked #28 in the FutureSox prospect rankings, Zach Erwin was #16 if you use that as a ref, and it is a valid ref. the need of the team is now. what the value of the sp, esp after last nite trade between the braves and dback, sp are at a premium.
December 10, 201510 yr This stabilizes the Sox. Improves the team, smooths a real rough spot, and allows them to keep building.
December 10, 201510 yr Well, at least we won't have to hear the local media mispronounce Wendelken for the next 5 years. ...but Lawrie is like Laurie. Edited December 10, 201510 yr by flavum
December 10, 201510 yr QUOTE (TheFutureIsNear @ Dec 9, 2015 -> 08:09 PM) I'm guessing people saw JB and just assumed shuck. Not sure why Oakland would want him. But this is a great deal either way. Really surprised that's all it took Actually, I just about forgot about JB Shuck being on the team. But this is wonderful- I thought Oakland would definitely manage more than that from someone for Lawrie.
December 10, 201510 yr QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Dec 9, 2015 -> 08:16 PM) @AdamSpankyEaton: Welcome @blawrie13 ! #WhiteSox #BoutDamnTime I am worried about those two on the same team but who knows, maybe they will be best buds
