ChiSoxJon Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 I know OF isn't really a concern for CWS with Jimenez locked in, Robert hopefully up early, but why the hell doesn't Adam Jones have a market yet again? Can play CF and RF, coming off a 16 HR season with a .260 AVG, good veteran presence to man CF until Robert is up or backup off the bench If CWS didn't have interest in him last year however, I doubt they do this year If CWS tosses him Jon Jay money that may be sufficient If he needs to be saved from Japan I'd be happy to do it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moan4Yoan Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 This was the offseason the Sox were supposed to spend money on top targets. If the Sox start signing veterans who are contemplating heading to Japan, we may as well give up on this offseason. https://mobile.twitter.com/Ken_Rosenthal/status/1204115953685938176 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CWSpalehoseCWS Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 Adam Jones has no market because he is a shell of his former self. He's 34 year's old, can't play CF anymore, and has atrocious OBP. Sox need to do better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buehrle>Wood Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 Is he doing that weird media blitz like he did at last years winter meetings? I kind of liked it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisox378 Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 He is declining and even in his best season (2012) he had 126 k's to 34 bb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sox don't need a below average hitting DH/corner guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chetkincaid Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 You would do better signing a young guy and seeing if he'll have a breakout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eminor3rd Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 This is a TON of money to give a first year foreign player in NPB. This’ll be very interesting. Orix is a backwards organization that can’t get out of its own way and really needs a couple power hitters. Good for them on taking the gamble. We’ll see if it works out.

hi8is Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 I’m still waiting for somebody to talk about Adam Jones... there’s a picture of him but you all are talking about some baseball player in Japan. WTF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
