Glad the 2B spot is now open for him. He deserves a shot at being regular IMO.

 

Boy would be nice if Saladino could put up a big first half and be moved for a top 100 prospect or two

This is a gross oversimplification. What if he tears it up in the 1st half next year? The Sox would certainly move him for the right package.

No one is going to give the Sox much for Saladino. He's a good utility player. If he tears it up for the first half, that's all it will be a good first half. Every team and system has these guys.

With 550-600 at bats maybe he hits .285 with 20-25 HR's then what, huh huh ? :P

If the Sox were to entertain the idea of trading Saladino for prospects it would be next winter. First he would need a successful '17 season as a full time position player to build trade value.

 

I'd prefer to keep Saladino and see him as the White Sox version of Boston's Brock Holt. Saladino is going to prove himself to be quite valuable during this rebuild. His versatility is great to have and man is he's a blast to watch running around the bases.

This thread is a perfect example of why the mods have to be concerned about the tone of this board this season. It seems to me every thread is going to turn into a "good, now we can move this guy" if a player does well; a player such as Saladino. There will be very annoying game threads with the posters wanting us to lose every game. Far be it from me to tell u how to run a message board. I know people get sick of me repeating themes such as Hillary sucks, Bernie baby, I want to win every game, the draftniks are ridiculous, etc. But Saladino is a very very very good hitter and I think a big leaguer. So if he makes the team and does well every thread is gonna be, "GOOD NOW WE CAN MOVE HIM."

 

I implore the rebuildniks to calm down and re-assess their posts. Is this board really going to be calling for Frazier to be traded every time he hits a home run rather than celebrating the home run and possible victory? Me says YES.

Don't like it.

You aren't concerned?

Let's say opening day Frazier hits a three run homer to put us up late and Robertson gets a save by striking out the side.

How sad to read ...

"GOOD now we can trade Frazier especially if he can hit 20 home runs by June 10!"

"GOOD, Robertson looks good this year. We can surely move him soon!!"

 

Ugh. Me thinks you won't have greg around much this season to all your delights.

 

Our announcers should just copy the fans' lead and talk incessantly about trades and needing to lose.

"The pitch to Frazier ... you can put it on the board.... yes! This is gonna help build Frazier's trade value Stone Pony. You know if he keeps this up we could get 2-3 good prospects even though he's a free agent to be."

Pony: "Amen Hawk. However it would be nice if the Sox found a way to lose this game. We don't need to be winning games. The draft is the important thing for this rebuild. Nice home run by Frazier, but I'd be OK with a bullpen implosion about now!"

Dare I say it?
