    QUOTE (Lillian @ May 28, 2016 -> 06:14 PM) I can't imagine that the Sox would take on that contract, and give up young talent. That would be very foolish.     Calling Erik Johnson and Tatis (to

    For the record, I think EJ will be better in SD than Shields was. I also think Shields won't be any better than Latos or Gonzalez. And I think it's dumb to give up a young guy like Tatis Jr for a frin

I'm not going to feel good about this unless the Sox give up next to nothing. Shields is showing a lot of signs that he's cooked.

If his last start wasn't as bad as it was, would you be saying that? He had a bad start. It happens. Every other game this season that he's pitched, he's always less than 4 runs with the exception of two (four each game).

 

Is he the same pitcher he was 3 years ago? Obviously not. No one gets younger, but "cooked" is harsh.

His ERA was actually 3.06 before his last start.

But his FIP was drastically worse

Was told from a #source that Jon Jay may also be included in the Shields ChiSox deal to help offset some cost #WhiteSox

Well Jon Jay would certainly be an upgrade over Shuck and Avi.

I hope Avisail is a Padre, quite frankly.

Which is why I said before his last start, no one would have said he's cooked.

Platoon him with Jackson moving Jackson to backup OF most of the time.

I could see him going the other way. A young project with control. Seems like the kind of guy that seems right for a deal like this.

Probably would be better to be part of a trade for a hitter

Yeah, Eaton/Jackson/Cabrera/Garcia/Shuck/Sands/Coats/Jay... something's gotta give there and my hope is it's Sands and Garcia

Read the first few pages of this thread, many posters were against the idea

Honestly if he hits better then Jackson and can play adequate cf I would have jay starting most of the time

How's Jay's defense? I see some conflicting stats on it

If Jay is included I see him in left at times with Melky moving to DH

Yeah...and the left handed part of a platoon does that.

If Sox get jay he's putting up a 1.1 war vs Jackson at .1 according to baseball reference. Would think jay replaces jackson

Probably same as Jackson right now.

Jackson's coming around as a hitter now, I don't think "replacing" him is the best idea

Could see him replacing Jackson and Sox still going to get a LH hitter for dh

Padres, chisox have agreed on the principals of shields deal, with only details to go

Probably going to need to be approved by commissioner since money might be involved

BIG GAME JAMES SHIELDS BABY.

I kind of really hope Jay is in the deal, I think he would fit perfectly with this team
