ptatc Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 13 minutes ago, Moan4Yoan said: Agreed. I also think the Sox chose Keuchel over Ryu due to Ryu‘s age and injury concerns. They likely didn’t want to invest this type of money in a guy like him. Agreed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The staff is now complete...let’s not stop with RF. I can live with a Mazara/McCann platoon at DH. Ideally, they will be able to add a righty bat that can play the outfield corners. I doubt they spend big on Ozuna now but I wonder what Puig’s market looks like? Edited December 22, 2019 by Moan4Yoan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chw42 Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 Realistically, this puts the Sox at 35 WAR projection-wise. That's a 83 win team. If things go our way we will be in playoff contention. Go add a guy like EE as well as at least one good bullpen arm and we'll really be set. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cashman Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 6 minutes ago, GradMc said: I believe the Sox are going to shock me on the level of a Mookie Betts type deal. Nothing they've done yet is going to get those phones ringing in the ticket office. Reinsdorf is going to have to do more than provide the base with the allure of a green oasis where there's only sand. I think the only problem with that is, giving him the money.

I still feel the Sox biggest weakness is Renteria. But for the moment, I'm liking this offseason and team so far. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their top of the line starters - Giolito and Keuchel - need to pitch at that level. With the rest of the staff having youth and some ups/downs, these two need to anchor the staff. To win the division, of course, they need an overall rotation that's pretty solid from #1 to #5, but it all starts with our best being exactly that.

Given that Cleveland is trading off it's best players and should regress, KC/Detroit suck that leaves Minnesota and Chicago. Unless injuries or just unexpected under-performance, it's hard to not see them being in contention in this division. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colinski Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 I’m so happy with this. One of the top targets on my off season plan last year and this. We didn’t over pay and BEARD! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chw42 Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 Just now, TaylorStSox said: Not a huge fan, but it doesn't hurt IMO Keuchel only looks bad cause he wasn't real good last year even though his ERA was fine. His FIP was trash but he pitched half a year and his statcast numbers were fine. He's projected to be a 2.5 win pitcher. I'm perfectly fine with paying him $18 mil a year for that, assuming he can keep that kind of production up for another 2 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just have a hard time thinking they are going to trade some of their top prospects for one year of Betts. I can't imagine they would move on him without having a new deal.

If Nick is fine being a primary DH, but can play RF when the Sox face lefties (then Grandal can DH and McCann catch on those days). Bilek doubts that happens.
