Just hope he doesn’t turn into Wellington offensively now that he’s been paid! Yeah I would have preferred a 3-year deal myself but probably needed the 4th year to get it done now. Not going to complain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find them very different personally, but I agree they both induce immense rage from opponents lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go get 1 of Cole, Stras, Ryu, Wheeler or Bum sooner rather than later. Zero chance they stop here. They are coming out guns blazing because their to do list is big and getting that first guy makes the Sox that much more exciting of an option to the next guys on their list.

Not going to complain. As long as he was off the books when some of the young guns were ready to hit FA, that's fine. Even if you have one overlapping year. Going to 5-6-7 years is where you run into the issue of evaluating who you have vs what you need to keep down the road. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chetkincaid Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 The White Sox are trending #3 on Twitter. I don't think I've ever seen them trend that high. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago White Sox Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 23 minutes ago, ChiSox59 said: This is accurate, although I do think Abreu will DH quite a bit with Grandal, Collins and maybe even a little McCann mixed in at 1B. Agree about Grandal getting some 1B time and Abreu DHing, but that would have made my summary way too complex. But honestly, getting Abreu off the field a little more is another benefit to this.

I'm good with a short term free agent fix out in RF because I think one of our minor leaguers will step up soon. Use that free agent $ that will be spent (I know there is more of it) on pitching.

CaliSoxFanViaSWside Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 36 minutes ago, ChiSox59 said: McCann is still going to take all of Gio's starts and likely 80% of the catcher starts against LHP. Grandal just shifts to DH/1B those days. Its a wonderful problem to have, boys. I wouldn't be so sure of that. Gio was hurt a lot last year by poor pitch framing. I know Grandal can't catch every game but our best pitcher becomes even better with Grandal. If Gio stills likes McCann after knowing those facts yea McCann will still be his personal catcher.

Greg Hibbard Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 Does this make Collins the odd man out? If McCann is playing DH and 1B some, Abreu is our primary 1B with some DH, and Grandal is our primary catcher, it seems like Collins is on the block. Especially with Vaughn on the fast track Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What if he just liked McCann because he finally didn't look like dogshit and thought maybe it was McCann... Give him Grandal a few starts and see what he thinks lol I've never been a fan of the "personal catchert"... because when playoffs come, Grandal is catching probably every day. No way you catch McCann 2 times in a 5 game series with Gio... Edited November 21, 2019 by cjgalloway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was literally taking a shit at work when this leaked and I ran out screaming to a bunch of people in Nashville who could give two fucks about the Sox. I can’t undersell how pumped I am about this. Him & Wheeler have always been 1A & 1B for me and landing one of them before the calendar even hits December is fucking wild. To me, this is proof they aren’t fucking around and fully expect two more impact additions (SP & RF) before all is said & down this offseason.

Look at Ray Ray Run Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 Bruce Levine on the score pretending this was expected; after saying otherwise. Then he said the Sox now need to add a left handed bat who can hit 25 homers; I guess Bruce must think that Grandal is right handed lol. 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
