Peavy to AZ?

Diamondbacks are among the teams talking about Jake Peavy, and CWS have had scouts on hand at Arizona games; they've seen Randall Delgado.

If Peavy goes to AZ, I'd like to see the Sox get Owings and Stryker Trahan

Randall Delgado isn't even a prized prospect anymore.

If they trade him for Delgado, that would suggest the Williams giveaway program is still up and running. That won't happen.
Heck, we'd be better off getting the 2nd pitcher that we traded/gave for Edwin Jackson back.
I do wonder about Hahn's comments, as reported in the media, that he's looking for "major league ready" players. That doesn't necessarily mean high ceiling - it could mean Gillespie types and middle relievers, and guys eligible for Rule 5. I'd rather go after high ceiling players, even if they a couple of years away.

How about Peavy & Crain to AZ for Owings, Trahan, Davidson and Barret?

This is, indeed, a dark time to be a White Sox fan. Miserable team and system, and a front office in denial. We're officially what the Cubs were the last 30 years. Reinsdorf needs to go.

One sort of big difference

I mean starting this year. If the plan is really to take a 100 loss roster and add a few pieces for the illusion of competition, lucking in to a division with a no chance team every five year or so...then yeah, we're on that model. It sounds like they're looking around for now players instead of future core players. Which is not only a really bad idea, but it makes them look like complete morons.

Hopefully he's talking about ready now, impact guys. And when he can't get those guys, he lowers his price to impact guys, ready later. We don't need any more Dannny Richars or Zack Stewarts on this squad.

Why not wait and see the first part of the plan take effect before jumping. What "sounds to you" may not be what is really happening.

This attitude is exactly why we've got a 100 loss team. Bad moves abound and no one wants to rock the boat. "No, keep trying, we can't take the rebuild". But you can take another 90 year championship drought? Jesus.

Randall Delgado would fit that last mold.

You have mentioned 100 losses quite often. How about a wager?
