That doesn't mean he'd be any good at any of it. ??? I really wish sox fans graded their own players as skeptically as anyone not on the team. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could have sworn they did. Edit: I guess they didn't. I would have been ok signing him and plugging him in at 3B for a couple of years but oh well.

Jake Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 I think that's a pretty good deal for the Twins. I would have considered going a little bit higher just to try to make it harder for them to get to the playoffs this year. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timmy U Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 I am not convinced that the next 2 years of Marwin Gonzalez are going to be better than the next 2 years of Jose Rondon. And not because I think Rondon is all that good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know Renteria mentioned it again that they're going to give him some reps in the OF in ST...hopefully it works out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreenSox Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 I can't lament not signing this guy. His best use is as a utility player; I think Yolmer would be a good player if used as such and properly platoone. Leury can play every position except for pitcher and catcher.

That last thought perfectly encapsulates typical White Sox organizational strategy...Teahen at second or in the outfield? Josh Fields in LF? Viciedo In LF and RF and 3B and 1B and DH? It just MIGHT work. Or it might not. Well, we tried...so at least we’re “outside the box” thinkers. No, you’re just terrible at identifying and developing talent.

No, you’re just terrible at identifying and developing talent. Sure, but adding flexibility to a young guy that’s at least a little interesting and out of options isn’t a bad idea.

Outside of his awesome 2017, he's a pretty meh player. Valueable in that you can plug him in anwyhere other that CF and C, but his 2018 line of .247/.324/.409 was his 2nd best season in the bigs. Marwin: 104 wRC+, plays 7 positions, $10.5M Alonso: 97 wRC+, plays 1 position, $8M ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
