Santos Traded To Blue Jays

[nickofypres]

I don't think the Sox can rebuild. They won't trade Danks, Floyd because they don't like the offers. Who is left to trade for value then? Quentin and maybe Thornton?

Peavy, Danks, Floyd, Sale, Humber is a good rotation. Line up isn't bad, you just have to hope Dunn and Rios rebound.

If assuming all they move is Quentin from here on out, I can live with this roster.

 

[nickofypres]

Can he start next year?

They said he probably won't. But may "force himself" into rotation.

Source: Molina is expected to be a RP, not a SP. That's according to a rival GM.

If that is true than KW should have just kept Santos?

Our FO is something else.

 

[Capt. Serious]

Closers are easier to find than good pitching prospects.

The dude's Walk to k ratio was............16/148.

in the minor leagues...big deal.

Our FO is something else.

he was being stretched out the last year, and he is very young.

12-3 with a 2.21 ERA between Dunedin (A+) and New Hampshire (AA). He also had a great WHIP of 0.997, striking out 148 while only walking 16 in over 130 innings pitched

Yes, that's true. Santo's is cheap and is on contract for 6 years. He's only 28 too, so not too old. The 'spect the Sox receive is 23 and we don't know if he will produce in the majors or not. We have seen players with good minor league stats and just came up and sucked.

Kind of a big deal. That is impressive, no matter the league.

its not all about coming up and playing for the team, its about collecting chips too.

 

[waldo7239117]

The Sox FO and fans are just going to hope he's the real deal. He one one of the best pitching 'spects in the Jays system.

Very true. And since he is a prospect that is highly touted, I wouldn't be shocked if KW flipped him.

thats KWs motto.

 

[Capt. Serious]

12:$1M, 13:$2.75M, 14:$3.75M, 15:$6M club option, 16:$8M club option, 17:$8.75M club option ($0.75M buyouts for each option)

What a deal breaker Kenny.

Interesting opinion:

The White Sox rebuilding process begins - South Side Sox

 

[Capt. Serious]

Can I resign Jerry? save Sox fans from awful trades.

 

[Gunzaan]

Wow, I didn't see this coming at ALL.

My initial reaction is: WTF?? Here goes KW all over again.

I guess we will have to wait and see...

a reliever for a top pitching prospect isnt a bad thing.

 

[Capt. Serious]

Kenny said he'd only make trades for MLB 'ready' players.

Fucking lying hack.

 

[cubsneedmiracle]

My first thought was... I see why you all want KW's head on a platter..

Then I looked up the spec..

Not too bad.. My only issue is that Santos is 22.. That's pretty young with having him controlled for awhile.

Hey, I hope it pans out, but all I see is a solid, young closer for a "prospect." We all know how often "prospects" pan out :roll:
