chetkincaid Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 Can he still play? Could he ever play when he wasn't playing the White Sox? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daggins Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 Fun answer - he got sick of seeing him thrash Sox pitching. Real answer - at some point Hahn is going to trade Melky. Most of the backup options could generously be called AAAA guys. Raburn may end up pressed into service soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlackSox13 Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 Place holder until Tilson comes back? Meh, no biggie since its a minor league deal and probably won't see too many at bats in a Sox uni. Signing Rayburn is a move the Sox should have made when they were trying to compete, lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Lopez's Ghost Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 Sign with the one club you can bash against? Bad career move. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldsox Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Apr 8, 2017 -> 11:34 AM) Why? Good question. Rockies are asking same thing. He turns 36 next week, redefining the term "rebuild". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleHurt05 Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 You were supposed to sign him when you still had Sale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elrockinMT Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 It has to be insurance for sure. But, in a rebuilding period you ight think young guys get the call but maybe our future OFfers are a good year or two away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worst case scenario is that he never plays in the majors, which isn't a big deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worst case scenario is that he never plays in the majors, which isn't a big deal. Charlotte is stacked right now though. He literally has nowhere to play even in Triple-A unless someone got hurt. It's a head scratcher IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lip Man 1 Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 "Raburn has enjoyed success against his new organization, slugging 20 of his 91 career home runs against the White Sox. He has also hit .296 with 82 RBIs and owns a .518 slugging percentage in 122 games against Chicago." According to Elias, Rayburn has the highest percentage of career RBI's vs. one team in MLB history. That's impressive (and also makes you wonder why Cooper didn't order his pitchers to try something different against him. If he did...it sure as hell didn't work.)

CaliSoxFanViaSWside Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 .318/.376/.555 with 13 home runs and 52 RBIs. That's in the Cell so maybe it's just a magical place for him like Disneyland . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
