Tony Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 5 minutes ago, CWSpalehoseCWS said: Am I the only one that doesn't really want Cruz on this team? Yes, he's been ridiculous and very good (especially against the Sox), but he's 40 years old. At some point he's not going to be able to keep this up, right? It would be so White Sox to bring him him only to see him completely fall off a cliff in production. I wouldn't HATE if they got him for the DH, and on paper this looks great in the lineup, but man, this feels so EE all over again. There just isn't a lot of downside with the move. The only issue I could possibly see if Cruz is Edwin levels of bad.......TLR continues to play the veteran over someone like Vaughn who is "ready" but even that is sort of stretch. Cruz isn't getting more than a one year deal so there is very little risk involved. I personally don't think they sign Nelson Cruz, and I'd much rather them sign another SP, but I'd be all for it if it happened. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much any Dominican player. I think a lot of us are assuming it's Cruz because he connected him to the Sox earlier in the week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he fall off a cliff, then at least he kept Vaughn down for a month or two. He's gonna cost at least $10 million. You don't make a move like this for the Jeff Blauser factor or because he's a good clubhouse guy. He better hit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted January 18, 2021 Author Share Posted January 18, 2021 Ozuna makes no sense to be honest assuming he gets multiple year.
