Reed for Matt Davidson, no Santos

[Atothe]

Is davidson any good? I like how Kenny williams and rick hahn don't overvalue their relievers unlike a certain GM

[Angrioter]

Towers "I want SAVEZZZ.........Trade that semi-stud 3B for Reed"

[Angrioter]

C-Phegley

1B-Abreu

2B-Semien (Beckham trade)

3B-Davidson

SS-Ramirez

LF-Viciedo

CF-Eaton (De Aza trade)

RF-Garcia

DH-Konerko (Dunn trade?)

[Atothe]

Yes, great move for White Sox. He's one of there top prospects.

 

Looks like Rick Hahn is starting to shape the roster into what he wants. Dunn is a goner if he can find a trade partner.

[DuckDuckGose]

Reed for Matt Davidson, no Santos

 

Reed isn't even arb eligible until 2015, he's a superior asset to Santos.

[Angrioter]

Baseball management 101:Never, never trade a position player for a reliever.

I know. Santos+ for Davidson.

[DuckDuckGose]

Ehh Davidson is a very fringe guy at 3B.

[Atothe]

Remember when santos came to the jays, the praise, the love and the admiration. I wouldn't be surprised if Reed has a down year

[Atothe]

Not even Goins

 

hell yeah you take that trade in a heartbeat. Goins is jpish type of hitter. This isn't the 1950's. Terrible hitting fielders are a dime a dozen

[Angrioter]

Not even Goins

 

Put it in the context of talent.

 

Stud - stud

Good - good

Mediocre - mediocre

 

Goins doesn't have match.......maybe Jo Jo Reyes?

[DuckDuckGose]

Santos still has nasty stuff, I just have zero faith in his ability to stay healthy.

lol JoJo is a good one. Remember when AA thought he was full of potential lmao. Wilner also is a giant douche

[LunchBox]

Having Trumbo and Davidson in the same lineup would certainly be hard to watch lol.

 

That being said, Skaggs, Davidson, Eaton > Trumbo, Reed IMO, poor asset management.

[The Cats Ass]

Davidson was one of the D-Backs top prospects. Not sure what's so good about him though. Does seem to have some power, but will never have a high average, also strikes out a lot. I had him in the DDL at the beginning of the offseason but traded him straight up for Aaron Sanchez.

Looks like a lopsided fantasy trade.

 

Boxy and TheHurl trade

Cecil for Owings straight up would be an excellent Christmas gift...

Agree but........................Cecil is a "ace reliever". Jays could get a best pay for him (Towers being Towers)

[DuckDuckGose]

Altuve please.

[NorthOf49]

The Cell was the #1 park last year for right-handed home runs, so this is good from a Davidson fantasy angle.

 

Prety fair trade overall. Reed has mediocre results in the Majors so far, but the peripherals are great and he's very cheap/controllable.

Abreu, Konerko, Dunn, Davidson great 1B depth lol

[jaysblue]

Fantastic deal for the White Sox. They get a solid middle of the order bat at the hot corner, and who's also a solid defender as well. Kevin Towers has made stupid deals these past couple of years.

 

I actually like what the White Sox have been doing this offseason. Signing Abreu, trading for Eaton, and now acquiring Matty Davidson.

Davidson offensively is probably Trumbo with less power. Wouldn't really consider that middle of the order.

Hey, I sent you a Proboards PM. Davidson wasn't mentioned, but he could be involved if you want.

[LunchBox]

I'm not sold on Davidson's bat either, but I don't entirely agree with this. Consider their minor league numbers, keeping in mind that Davidson was younger at each respective level:

 

-Davidson both walked and struck out more than Trumbo.

-Trumbo posted a higher slugging percentage.

-They posted comparable wOBA.

 

Davidson could potentially be a middle of the order hitter. He's also a much better defender, at a more valuable position so he could certainly end up a more valuable player than Trumbo.

[TheHurl]

Davidson = Brett Wallace. Great swing, makes line drive contact and has doubles power but strikes out way too much. Some reason these guys don't work out in the bigs. I wish I understood it cause I love high LD rates. The guy will probably be a butcher at 3B and can't run. Figuring out if a reliever will repeat a season is never easy but honestly I'll say that Addy averages about 1 WAR over the next 4. Davidson will have to BABIP his way to that.
