Latos to White Sox

If that is a criticism, I don't get it. I started this thread with the comment that it looked like a potentially low risk high reward deal for the Sox, have been posting that Latos might be a good option for a long time, and even I can't argue with what he said. Latos finished last year in brutal fashion, is a bad body guy, has a bit of a bad rep - deserved or not, had some knee problems, there are still some other low risk / high reward guys left, and I do think the Orioles are probably looking at multiple other options.

I really have no insight.

It was reported early on that he was very concerned about the Orioles' physical examination. Sounds like he just cut off any negotiations with Baltimore. Takes two to tango.

Which is a gigantic red flag. Better for both parties to avoid a Grant Balfour situation. I have no problem with DD passing on Latos. I just don't want to end up losing the pick for Gallardo.

Thank you sir. He gets way too much of a benefit of the doubt IMO.

I don't think it's official in February.

I don't think it's official in February.

He made a post earlier questioning why teams weren't lining up for Gallardo. I thought that was interesting.

I think he means that if he wins all three awards and earns $3.3 million total, he would officially be the biggest bargain in MLB. Hard to argue with that.

Yes, upon rereading I agree.

So what? If he's good, we missed out again. If he stinks, everyone who wanted him will be eating their words like it was given to them at a breakfast buffet.

At 1 year 3 million I wouldn't feel bad if it didn't work out.

I'd be annoyed that money went down the toilet and we didn't get the job done when it came to the pitching side of the ball.

You would if we had to sell a competetive balance pick to. Make up for it.

Yes I would.

I never liked Latos after he burned me in fantasy baseball a couple of times, but I doubt that DD gave my concerns much thought!

I hate it when general managers ignore my feelings!

[DrinkinWithFermi]

Dude.

You're getting a Gallardo.
