Where is Giolito ranked? He's another Wisler to me.

Haha what's the bet?? Because it already sounds like KLaw and JJCooper still think Atlanta has a better system than Chicago.
You said it's a foregone conclusion that Chicago has the better system than Atlanta, but do you just ignore the prospect guys who have already disagreed with that?
Are we just going on the return, ignoring what was given up? Because Hahn had much better pieces to trade, it's not even close.
Very good trades, no doubt. Can't believe they got Theo to give up Jimenez, but then he also traded Torres for a rental.
But the best piece we've traded is Miller...and we got an absolute haul for him.
Have to ding Coppy for not trading Julio when he should have.
Because he's an egotist that has to show everyone how right/smart he is. He goes with this "leave the board bet" because he knows most people won't take it and it makes him feel bigger about himself that he got someone to back down. Of course he has nothing to lose with this bet because he wouldn't honor it if he lost.
He's Wisler in that both were really good in the low minors, got highly ranked, but saw their success erode as they moved up.

There's no way anyone can conclusively say the Sox have done better on big trades.
