And so they don't have to move him. They might settle, but their price has been ridiculous so far. We will see.

Kenny Williams made 3 July trades despite a farm system that's routinely called the 30th best in baseball. #whitesox

And got outbid for the pitcher he really wanted because of that 30th rated farm system...

Very, very true. I'm not going to pretend like the Meyers and Liriano trade were amazing deals, or amazing returns. The only really good deal was Youk and that's because of the price tag.

Look Kenny deserves kudos for accomplishing what he has, but the Greinke deal showed what most of us have been saying. That is if other teams want to outbid the Sox they can, and that goes for just about every other team in baseball. The Sox have made some nice moves to shore up a division leading club and that shouldn't be underestimated, but that is because KW being willing to take chances other clubs aren't not because people are wrong about the Sox farm.

I agreed with you, not sure where you were going with this besides stating the obvious

Ahhh, gotcha, being thorough! My bad! While your statement summed things up perfectly, I just assumed it was general knowledge. I guess biases will always exist in the mind of every fan base

I think a package of Floyd, Mitchell, and a pitcher of some sort either up in the pen or down in the minors could do it.

you havent been here in a while. dabs has to remind us about our farm system on a daily basis. it gets old after a while and he wonders why I dig into the cubs.
worry about your awesome mid pack farm while I worry about my favorite MLB team being in a race in august.

This is why I posted what you quoted in that post
As per board policy according to you calling it like you see it is acceptable which everyone who isn't a

Well, I haven't been around, very correct... but dabs is a knowledgeable fan and seems like he has a good handle on where his Cubs MLB team is at and where the farm system is at. I'd just let it drop and everyone can bask in the glory of the strengths of their particular favorite organization

waiting til the trade line is over to come up with a post for trade deadline winners and losers but as of right now the white sox are definitely one of the winners in MLB this year. the white sox are 1.5 game up and will look to make a run for the playoffs. Can they make any more small moves that will make an impact in September?

I dont think that we land another starter, just my guess though. I think were in a good spot with position players, so if we can land a veteran arm in the pen id be happy!
