White Sox Need To Fix Their Sinking Ship | Sox In The Basement

Is he trying to lose out? Why? Meanwhile we have a list of players that should be seeing most of the playing time moving forward, and a few that should hit the bench.

    Michael Kopech was a complete bust, Tommy Pham was a 36 year old 265 hitter, who nobody wanted this offseason, and while Erik Fedde pitched very well, he is a Boras client who would off been moved next season. I definitely would’ve liked a little more for him.

    Vaughn is just starting to hit again, having come a long way back from a miserable start. He's only 26 and may yet live up to what was earlier viewed as his potential. There's no one with better potential in the pipeline so it's silly not to keep him.

    I think Baltimore will disagree that you can’t build a championship team by tearing it down to the studs. The difference between us and them is they not only had higher picks, but they smashed those picks. Elias has done a brilliant job. Again, they too have frugal ownership. They won’t spend to keep their guys when they reach FA. I think that’s one of the reasons Elias hugs his prospects as if they were his grandkids. He needs waves and waves of prospects. Although I disagree, I enjoy your shows, Chris

    I disagree with Chris big time. The Pirates aren’t floundering. They’re roughly .500 a few years into a massive tear down. It appears they’ve drafted pretty well. They have many good prospects in the pipeline and Cherington has proven throughout his career to be pretty good. The problem they have is one we know all to well. Their owner is VERY CHEAP.

I can see the argument for trading him, but he’s young, nasty, and even younger to me because he doesn’t have many innings on his arm.
