If the Sox signed Semien or Escobar, and an everyday legit RF, would Garcia still be signed here for 3 years? Gotta believe things are not real optimistic in the war room, based on this signing. Based on the injury history of our players, I would hope so. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leury is not exactly known for his defensive highlights…even if bad routes, throwing to the wrong bases and related mental mistakes usually don’t show up in the boxscores. I just hope Hahn has a press conference to announce it. Hold that thought…there are only 1-2 in the media covering the Sox that will challenge him directly on anything, so it would be pointless as usual.

And people call me gloomy. But the injury history is def real. I don’t think a FO will outlay millions up front based on forcasting a lot of injuries though. More to it than that Id reckon. To specifically address the contention however, one might think a Garcia signing after a Semien and RF signing would be a luxurious Yankees type spree Edited November 30, 2021 by Chick Mercedes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a horrible sequence of events set into place by our HOF person manager. But it was not an error, nor did he commit 5 errors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Polar Bear Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 You all can defend Leury all you want but he is a horrible starter and a very bad signing if it is as as starter which it appears so for now. Now if it is to play 1 or 2 games a week as a backup, barring injuries, good signing then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chitownsportsfan Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 What's the AAV? I feel like if they gave him three years they should get a discount on AAV. Anything more than 18 million and I'm iffy. If they got him for 3/18 or something that's fine. But 3/22 or something feels like an overpay. I know we're "just" talking 2-4 million here and what's the difference but for the end of roster types that shit adds up and can prevent other moves.

This isn't defending Leury as much as it is knocking down make believe strawmen, considering you keep posting falsehoods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chick Mercedes Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 29 minutes ago, fathom said: Well maybe if the guys who were supposed to start didn’t get injured so often, then he wouldn’t get as much playing time To expect people to welcome a player signing who plays in the event that the frontliners are hurt, is not fair to expect. People would be happy about Garcia signing after the holes are plugged with real ballers. Which again, a Garcia signing probably wouldn’t even happen in that event. Which is the gnawing fear. That it possibly means the Sox aren’t optimistic that the real ballers are arriving. A Garcia signing just to cover for injured front line players is something a team does where money is no object. Usually nominal type utility guys are brought up for that stuff. It’s fairly easy to find nominal backups. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get the worry that he will play too much, but you also need guys like this around for when guys like Eloy decide to run through walls, or someone else pulls something.

black jack Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 I would love this move if it came on the heels of a few "bigger" ones. In itself it's disappointing. Can anyone not see that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
