Minor miracle that he hasn't struck out yet.

I'm too lazy to read 20 fucking pages.......can someone(beardown) sum up the Chus/IMU fight?

How is he looking. I've only caught 2 at bats (both walks). Pretty shocked to see 1 hit and no strike outs with his speed. Is he essentially shortening up for contact at the expense of solid contact? Or is he just hitting into defense?

I flipped to the game a few times last night. First hawk and stone complaining about a laser strike zone and how the game needs a human element. Then back for the moncada walk to see them complaining about a called strike.

Many thought he was the goods. Looks more like Jorge Orta on a bad day.

Unlike Cubs fans, we wait more than 5 games before declaring ours guys HOF'ers

Hitting a robust. 077

He is actually hitting .111 and its been 9 at bats. You had Schwarber in Cooperstown when he was still in Iowa you Shitfuck.

Ironically, moncada was likely traded for a hall of famer.

I think Moncada is going to flame out but Chris Sale Hall of Famer? Can you let him win a single award and be certain his arm doesn't fall off before you put him in the Hall of Fame?

Hall of Fame used to have standards. Then they started putting guys like Ozzie Smith and Barry Larkin in there and everyone who's played a couple good games think they should be in there.

Moncada is 1 for 9. He clearly is done and is a bust.

1 for 13 but who's counting?

Chris Sale is on pace for a 9fWAR season. At 12-13 million dollars a year through 2019 it might go down as the best bargain in the history of baseball. No hyperbole.

In terms of justifying the trade in pure "value", Moncada and Kopech already have their backs up against the wall in that regard. It's going to be very hard to ever look back and say, "yeah, that was a good trade for the White Sox".

That's just dumb. The Sox simply determined they would have wasted the good years of Sale and went a different path.

Unless of course your argument is the White Sox were going to be legitimate World Series contenders in 2018 or 2019 then your post is bad.

There seems to be this theory that his arm is a 'ticking' time bomb. I subscribed to it in the past, but now I don't. He's found another level than this year. There are generational players you "just don't trade" even in a rebuild. I doubt the Angels will ever trade Trout. Sale falls in that category.

I don't care if he was completely healthy. Were the White Sox legitimate World Series contenders in 2018 or 2019 with Sale, Quintana, and Eaton?

The Eaton trade was solid, you can't pass that up.

Could a competent GM make an 90 win team by 2019 building around Sale/Quintana.... ( Factoring you still do the Eaton deal and you have Guilto/Lopez in the system and you still sign Robert.) I'd like to think so. Nail a big time FA like Machado and you are there.
