Buehrle>Wood Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 (edited) Reportedly being non-tendered by the Cubs as it stands. Cue meatballness. Edited January 9, 2021 by Buehrle>Wood Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RagahRagah Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 Oh jeez. A Schwarber thread? Really? May as well just concede the possibility of signing anyone good at this point, LOL. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YourWhatHurts Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 I'd love to take a shot on him if we didn't already have so many DHs. I think he will get a lot of interest, especially with the DH probably coming back to the NL next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 We all remember when Babe Fucking Ruth got non-tendered after his dismal 1925 season where he hit under .300, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoxAce Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 Unless the Sox feel Vaughn isn't ready.. and even if that, I'd rather go after Brantley at DH and to spell Eloy (even though Schwarber has the best walkup song). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hogan873 Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 Schwarber struggled (comically, at times) in LF. Is there any thought he could play an even somewhat effective RF? Robert would be running his ass off, and probably getting hurt, with Eloy in one corner and Schwarber in the other. However, Schwarber could deposit quite a few baseballs onto the Goose Island.

he gone. Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 Reasons to consider: Gives Vaughn an unpressurized timeline to play in AAA, allows depth in LF, gives a decent bat and an okay price. Reasons to pass: He can't play RF, he's really not that good (aka I think you can find poor defense, .230BA and 25-35 HR in a lot of places), he doesn't have a home here, he doesn't make the team better.

EvilJester99 Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 (edited) An outfield or Eloy and Schwarb?? Yikes.. the meltdowns would be epic though.. Edited December 3, 2020 by EvilJester99 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2Deep Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 Keep in mind.....Adam Engel would play 60-80 games in right and Schwarber can DH as needed. Adam would be a late game replacement. I'm in for Schwarber Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerksticks Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 (edited) But he’s not even a good bat. He’s going to play his whole career and may not even reach 10 bWAR. Edited December 3, 2020 by Jerksticks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KrankinSox Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 Schwarber as a DH placeholder until Vaughn is ready makes sense for the Sox in 2021. -LH Bat -Can play LF a couple times a week or everyday when Eloy hits the IL. (Quite frankly he's a better LF than Eloy but the Sox want to give Eloy the reps out there) -No guarantee that Vaughn will be ready to be in the everyday lineup this year. Schwarber is not a perfect option but he does make sense on a cheap 1-year deal. If Vaughn is ready and mashing at the MLB level, Schwarber will be expendable. But if Vaughn isn't ready to be hitting everyday for a team that expects to be in the World Series, there are worse DH options than Schwarber on a 1-year deal. I'm fine with it.

I'm not saying he's option #1, but I'm curious who you think should be DH next season? Ideally it's Vaughn, but that's no guarantee.
