BFirebird Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 I am greedy. Give me Dickerson, EE & a RP. A platoon of EE/Mazara at DH. I know they probably won't go that route, but I think the more bats the merrier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually think finding a strong DH bat vs RHP is what they need the most. You hate Collins because he can't catch . You've been beating that drum for a while.

Cesar Hernandez to take Yolmer’s role? or Brock Holt who can also play RF but he's a lefty so not really a platoon guy with Mazara. He actually plays every infield position and plays LF and RF so everything but C and CF. But he sucks against lefties but great and high OBP against righties. Not much power either. Real solid player though Edited December 22, 2019 by CaliSoxFanViaSWside Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiSox1917 Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 If we sign EE, we might as well trade Collins. He killed AAA pitching after being sent down last year. Either give him a shot, or get something back for him now. Personally, I think it would be stupid to sign a DH. Use the position to give our starters a semi rest day by not having to play the field.

BackDoorBreach Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 I don't want a DH, that can be filled with Collins/Mazara/Grandal. I would really like a legitimate RF and a RP. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he still makes things crowded. Grandal should be at 1B/DH against LHP when McCann starts, and Abreu should be in the lineup against LHP. At some point you're sitting really good sticks because they have no where to play. Someone who could play RF would be ideal. This is a name I never see mentioned, Hunter Pence. Great splits against lefties. Getting a bit long in the tooth and not a good fielder but in limited time last year accumulated a decent WAR. 126 OPS+ Hit RH 's good too and adds another DH option too. Won't need a another DH with him. Edited December 22, 2019 by CaliSoxFanViaSWside 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reiks12 Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 Id like to pay Betances for a one year deal, hes definitely worth the risk there and on one year he has an incentive to put in his max. I dont trust Colome at all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxSteve Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 Colome is not a closer on a competitive team imo. 7th-8th inning guy but not a closer. It’s a lot easier to close games when your 20 games out of first and out of the playoffs. He doesn’t miss enough bats with his fastball for my taste but oh well he looks to be the guy for now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steven Souza Jr maybe? I want a full time RF and a more offensive-minded DH. Gio and Keuchel don't inspire me to inquire about season-ticket plans. Reinsdorf as usual has come up short again.

ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 I would still like to see them trade Collins + prospects to the Pirates for Starlin Marte. Maybe even expand that trade to make it Marte + RP Keone Kela since he's only got 1 year left on his deal anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
