Trade: [SD/CHW] James Shields to the White Sox

[MurrayBannerman]

The Sox ran away with this deal.

what a disaster AJ Preller has been, just like most sane people thought when he started his path of horrendous moves

Consistently average-to-bad? I agree.

Nope.

His last go-around in the AL Central was pretty solid & he's had some good numbers playing at US Cellular. Doesn't help that the Padres have been a joke the last two seasons giving him no support at all.

This season he's actually been solid, hasn't given up more than four runs in a start aside from his last outing as a Padre.

Just imagine how bad it would have been if the Padres successfully courted Pablo Sandoval who was one of their top targets that offseason.

I am fine with deal

Tatis was a 700k sign who never played pro ball. That's like the equivalent of hitting on a 25th round pick.

In 80's the Sox stole a future allstar SS from Padres and 30 years later it happened to us

At time of trade Anderson was having great rookie campaign and there was reason to believe we had our SS spot locked down for next decade (May still be as Anderson is firmly entrenched and having his best start to a season of career)

Its a shame to lose a deal like this but it happens

Ozzie Guillen was a solid player. Tatis looks like a franchise player

A lot of the old regulars aren't coming around much anymore.

 

[MurrayBannerman]

I mean it's definitely the Sox fault for not even giving him a real look, but they're certainly not the only ones to miss.

I was definitely wrong, but I thought the deal was shitty Erik Johnson and a lotto ticket. The lotto ticket just hit.

it doesn't make sense why, this is the best forum for baseball discussion other than /r/baseball

This is the only site I use to talk sports. I'm just too damn busy and lazy to go elsewhere.

I'm an essentialist with my time.

I post on at least 3 different message boards and often cross post between them all to relay information. It's good for learning more about the game as well as perpetuating narratives like "WHY SALE WINLESS" or something to that extent
