I also believe they’re neck and neck with the Cubs for Castellanos. Castellanos and Willie Calhoun in the corners with Choo at DH and Santana moved back to the infield would be pretty nice.

Jose Abreu Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 In the event that the Sox sign EE and do not trade McCann, I think there's actually a path (if everyone stays relatively healthy) where Grandal can still catch ~110 games, DH/1B 35-40, while EE still plays in ~130+ (taking reps from Abreu at 1B on occasion). Let McCann catch the other ~50 and sub in as needed of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beefing up the DH would allow you to play Leury in LF if Eloy gets injured, etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iWiN4PreP Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 Edwin is such a White Sox move. More low end mediocre players to the line up. The only reason this team is spiking in terms of hope is because the division sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BackDoorBreach Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 It makes no sense to trade 5 years of Collins who can still develop over 1 year of McCann. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerksticks Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 Why is a high OBP high SLG LH bat with 6 years of control something you toss away for a reliever? Hader maybe? just curious if you guys mean trading Collins for a top end reliever or just a reliever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Southwest Sider Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 I'm not trading our best catching prospect because we sign EE for 1 year. That's silly. Zack sticks around as depth and will get the PAs he will get. If someone gets hurt, thank goodness we still have Zack Collins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Parkman Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 I was actually hoping that the bat was Cesar Hernandez. That would have given them another year to evaluate Madrigal. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
