The common denominator? Robin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChiSoxFanMike Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 Not sure if I missed it or not, but are Avi and Morneau platooning at DH, or is it more of a matchup thing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they're only going to platoon Morneau, get Ryan Braun to DH and let Morneau platoon with Abreu at 1B. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigsoxhurt35 Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 (edited) Love me some Timmy bombs. Sad that Anderson has as many HRs as Avi and has played a lot less. I really would send Avi to AAA to see if they can fix him. Likely not but worth a shot. This teams best window for a World Series may be in fact 2018 and 2019 with the right development and moves. Sale, Q, Rodon (hopefully developing), Fulmer (hopefully developing) and maybe Hansen (if he can get his control and command in check. Certainly has the potential). Build the pen (front end-guys like Danish, Guerrero, Beck, some free agents. Back end-Jones, Burdi, Robertson). The back end could be different obviously. We could even move a guy like Q to try and expedite the process and add young talent. Fill his spot with development or acquisition. Then develop the bats and make some acquisitions via trade or free agency. Eaton RF Engel CF Anderson SS (I think he'll be a middle of the order bat by then) Abreu DH Collins 1B Frazier (if they extend him) 3B/1B Lawrie 2B (he's been what I thought he'd be so team friendly extension would be worth it possibly) Reddick LF Catcher (FA/trade or development) This is my feeling optimistic post. I'm sure someone will tell me I'm crazy or wrong. Thought a lot about this last night. Edited July 19, 2016 by SouthSideSale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
