BigSexy23 Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 Well, we all kind of thought deep down this day would come. What else can we do this offseason? Here are notable players still available: Position Players Bryce Harper (OF) - Unlikely Marwin Gonzalez (UTIL) Josh Harrison (2B) Adam Jones (OF) Jose Iglesias (SS) Carlos Gonzalez (OF) Denard Span (OF) Pitchers Dallas Keuchel (SP) Gio Gonzalez (SP) Clay Buchholz (SP) Craig Kimbrel (RP) Tony Sipp (RP) Nick Vincent (RP) Adam Warren (RP) Is it worth looking into any of these guys or should we be looking forward to next year's class?

southsider2k5 Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 If they aren't willing to go big for Harper, then you continue the rebuild and continue to accumulate assets with high draft picks and the like. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtySox Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 Keep tanking, but hope the youngins start to show something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wisebri224 Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 I offer them $99 for a party suite, tell them it's the best offer they will get this year and I wait, then say "I'm shocked I didn't get a call" when I don't get one.

BigSexy23 Posted February 19, 2019 Author Share Posted February 19, 2019 I think adding another middle infielder could be helpful...and obviously pitching Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Parkman Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 (edited) Get Jay and Alonso the fuck off the team as quickly as possible. At this point, Palka should get Alonso's ABs at DH. They're going to get it from ignorant fans. It isn't their fault, and if you're pissed don't go to the games.

knightni Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 Jones is retiring. Marwin Gonzalez could be a surprisingly productive addition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soxnfins Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 Tony Sipp & Carlos Gonzalez seemed to be classic White Sox IMO. Can picture it now: Hahn: "We were finally able to execute on a guy in Carlos Gonzalez after many feeble attempts." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrathofhahn Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 This entire off-season has reeked of desperation. Desperate teams do dumb things. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given that there isn't a snowball's chance in hell that Harper signs here, the answer is nothing.

knightni Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 Just now, BigSexy23 said: Jones is 32 I had gathered that he was retiring. Maybe it was just goodbye to Baltimore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenSox Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 None of the above (except for Harper). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
he gone. Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 Honestly? Vote with your dollars. Don't show up to the park. Don't turn on the TV. Don't download podcasts. Don't buy beer at the park. Don't buy merchandise. I for one will be following the Rockies and Astros and Cardinals. I enjoy baseball and I don't need to be tied to terrible baseball and ownership anymore. I want to watch a good, fun product and a good fun product is not Adam Engel and Wellington Castillo and Manny Baneulos. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quin Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 The only way to save face is Harper, maybe Keuchel, pray Madrigal becomes an elite 2B and forces Moncada to 3rd and Moncada becomes something there. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BackDoorBreach Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 There is no reason to sign anybody on here now. So nobody. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenksycat Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 You hope they pull a Royals and win a WS with this crop of prospects and then go back to losing 100+ games a year instantly because this franchise cannot scout/draft/develop players & ownership is too cheap to pay for free agents. Thats about it really. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Sacamano Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 Sign Harper or bust. If bust (probably bust), stay the course, hope guys like Abreu, Jay, Alonso, relievers are decent enough to trade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daa84 Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 (edited) Need to tank if you don’t get Harper. If you want impact players for years to come, and you can’t pay them, then you need to be at the top of the draft to find them. And I mean at the top. Not stuck at 12 drafting Jake burger Edited February 19, 2019 by daa84 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
