Polo and Rutherford both have base stealing, and Polo is a lefty hitting .307.
We got a first round pick who is doing well enough down below. So they added some more core with speed, the pitcher is an acceptable off-set to Kanyle on a better timetable, as they weren't going to pay him probably.
I am ok with this one....like Hahn said, he could have sold them all separately and gotten greater volume of prospects. He wanted Rutherford and so that is how this one will be graded.
No more thoughts of Anderson to OF. Its Rutherford, Robert, Jiminez in 2019/2020. Fast. Rangy. Bats. Left/right solid. Exciting like a twins outfield of old to cut down on holes.
Moncada/Anderson up the middle. Abreu/Robinson on the corners.
DH/C situation still materializing but many positions look like potential to make more deals from strength if any more guys work out than listed above.
White Sox MUST be leading the farm game by now. Do we have an Altuve/Correa in there? If we keep Abreu it is likely we are in the ballpark and have just as much depth surrounding a couple studs.
We will have to keep in mind just how bad the Astros were about 4-5 years ago next year. And like has been mentioning, trust we have always developed pitching.
My wish is just that by 2020-2021-2022 they have a new owner who is willing to spend to finish this thing or its all for not. It almost always requires buying an ace, developing one, buying a stud bullpen guy, developing one, buying a moderate veteran starter, developing one, and being willing to round it all out with that 3B, DH, or C bat that will complete the final puzzle when its possible to determine the biggest weakness.
The outfield looks good to me, Anderson regressed, and Abreu is still a trade risk. We'll see...but the future is for sure bright, maybe the brightest around the league outside Houston/Dodgers and a couple others peaking now that also have farms and much more money to spend.
