Or, do we not trade for any pitching, keep all of our young bats and just try to outslug every team?

There isn't room for all our young bats.  Even if we think Kjerstad and Cowser are fixtures in RF and LF going forward, that still leaves Beavers, Norby and Stowers to trade.

White Sox once again drastically overvaluing their players.

They take that in a heartbeat and we would be crazy to do it.

I still have not seen a single explanation of why we’d give up those kinds of assets for a guy who might not even be pitching by August given the IP situation. 

We can figure out next years rotation in the off season if we have to. We don’t need to give up major assets right now for a guy who might not help THIS year. 

So I’ll ask again, WHY would Crochet even be a target, let alone someone we’d give up these kinds of assets for?  And that’s before you even factor in that the Sox haven’t exactly been reasonable with their asking price, reportedly, on other players. 

Would you do Povich, McDermott, Norby, Beavers for Crochet? Is that enough for the Sox?

Norby may end up being a utility player given his limitations at 2b. Beavers may be ready right when Mullins is leaving, opening up a spot in LF with Cowser moving to CF. So I think there is room for both of them after this year.

I'm all for moving Stowers and Norby, if a team values him like a starting positional player in trade. I think we'd be selling low on Beavers and would prefer we keep him another year to see how he progresses.

Considering what the Sox did with Cease, I wouldn’t want any parts of negotiating with them. Add to that, Getz might be empowered by what he got for Cease.

Crochet is risky and probably not even a playoff option as a SP. There’s too many good rental options available currently in Scherzer, Kikuchi, and Severino.

As much as we want to trade for a pitcher with multiple years of control, we may have to figure that out this winter. It might mean we'd need to actually spend money (which we have no idea if this ownership is committed to), but the options available for trade this month may not match the combo of: what we'd be willing to give up, and what we want.

I don’t think I would, no. And I don’t think that’s enough for the Sox (in their eyes) anyway. 

How about Mountcastle to Seattle for a quality prospect or two, and then those prospects + Norby, Stowers and one of Povich, McDermott or Johnson?

I think you are right, even if we find a trade we'd be happy with, the White Sox are going to demand way more than that.

I agree with this, just playing around with offers to see what people on OH would part with.

I agree pump the brakes..on the level of stupidity surrounding freaking out over 34 at bats.

There you go again, I never called you  stupid because you said he was MVP Hes the number one prospect in baseball, partly because he was drafted 1:1, so was Tim Beckman and Delmon Young. For Fu**fs sakes man stop taking every differing opinion of youres as a personal attack

I didn’t call you stupid. I called the notion of freaking out over 34 at bats stupid.  Sorry if that offends but 🤷‍♂️

Yes

I'll say no. He's not better defensively than Westburg or Mateo, he's not hitting in AAA, just a lot of walks and singles, and Norby and Mayo are ahead of him.

Holliday's time is next year. Think that's pretty clear at this point barring him going on a power binge and a slew of injuries.

      Optimal position player roster for second half and playoffs?

      By sportsfan8703 · Posted

      I think we can try and develop Mayo at 3B, and Westburg at 2B, while rotating Mateo in to keep him getting reps, in July and August. Then reevaluate and coalesce for September+. I say throw the best offensive lineup out there and hope whatever defensive loss we have is leveled out by the offensive increase. You can always go back to defense and Mateo. Usually defense and speed doesn’t slump.

      He will no doubt be a BP weapon if that’s what he has to be. The problem is, you aren’t trading for him to throw you 20-30 innings.

      This is an AI generated fake. Of course no professional would be this bad nor would a baseball fan call a home run a 4-base hit.

      So, who WOULD you trade?

      By Sports Guy · Posted

      Between now and the deadline, I trade Hays and Urias and then add a RH OFer more capable of playing CF.(unless they feel Mateo can be that guy) I make Mountcastle available if it nets me a piece that helps right now (I would trade him in the offseason for pieces that are far away if that’s the best offer). I’d be ok with trading Santander for a similar return thought process as Mounty as well. Im trading any prospect that isn’t amongst our top 4 prospects (Silent J included) but would prefer to not move Liranzo, Arias, Forret, DeLeon and Sosa. I would consider Kjerstad in a Mason Miller or Crochet trade although it would depend what else is in the deal.  I would move Kjerstad for Skubal but not pairing him with any of the other top 3. (I don’t find any of these 3 scenarios all that likely, this my stance of not trading him) Estevez and Nardi (if made available) would be my top 2 BP targets as of today.(meaning, we know those teams are sellers but who else will be?) I would consider Fedde but not overpaying for him. He’s not worth Kjerstad imo and that is what they would want I think. Id consider several of the Marlins starters (medicals pending) and Detmers as well.

      That, my good man, is called being a fan. I did not intend that to rhyme. It just organically happened.

      He was -1 OAA in 229 chances last year and he's -5 OAA in 82 chances this year. Defensive Runs saved (DRS) had him at 3 last year and -4 this year. His FRV has gone from 0 to -4. Here's his OAA in detail. That's a pretty deep fall off in my opinion.  I think these numbers are why they hesitant to move Westburg over full time to 2B and bring up Mayo. They may be concerned that Mayo will be worse than Westburg at 3B and Westburg is certainly worse than Mateo at 2B defensively. So while the team certainly upgrades offensively with Mayo in the lineup, Elias may be hesitant to downgrade defensively at two positions. Now maybe with everyday reps Westburg does better? Maybe Mayo will be just as good or even better than Westburg at 3B? I mean, Mayo has a much better arm than Westburg just more erratic.  It's an interesting dilemma for Elias/Hyde to figure out what's best for the team. Without an injury, or Mateo going into a deep slump at the plate, I don't know if they are willing to allow their defense at two positions be at risk for decline.

      Heston Kjerstad 2024

      By Frobby · Posted

      I find it kind of funny how one our prospects will have 2-3 good games and suddenly everyone jumps on the bandwagon.   Kyle Stowers had a .924 OPS as of the end of May and he was briefly everybody’s darling.  Now it’s Kjerstad.   There’s a New Kid in Town! Don’t get me wrong, there’s lots to like about Kjerstad.   It just amuses me the way enthusiasm waxes and wanes based on microsamples.
