Like having Gavin Sheets makes you say... I don't want Kyle Schwarber instead? THat's crazy imo. Eloy Jimenez is the teams starting LF'er. I've made my position on Sheets no secret. He should be a depth piece. Vaughn primariy LF, with Eloy sprinkled in. Eloy primary DH. Sign Conforto to play RF. Sheets is depth. Not complicated. Conforto is a much much much much better fit than Schwarber who we could just add to the pile of guys who are best suited to DH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conveniently ignored while he cherry picks signings with no context. Silly analysis. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you just said the Sox have a DH and then named Sheets and the Sox starting LF lol. So it sounds like, to me, the SOx don't have a DH? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cue Balta with how much bad money has gone to White Sox DH’s since 2011…and the underwhelming offensive performance attached to those players.

Joc and Rosario, come on down. $4/80 always felt fair to me, maybe slightly higher with a 5th year option and opt outs. Whether the FO wants to pay that is another story. Schwarber getting close to 4/$80 maybe helps set the market for Conforto & Castellanos? IDK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silly analysis? The Sox spend money like this every off-season. The only one that really impacts the guaranteed money is Conforto too, so really not that silly. Leury/Harrison are both getting about the same amount of guaranteed dollars as Escobar/Miller. 21.5 million to 23 million. Chris Martin/Knebel are getting less guaranteed than Joe Kelly and Graveman - by a lot to, 41 million to 12.5 million. Kimbrel/Velasquez obviously getting less guaranteed than Conforto who we'll estimate around 85/90 million - so 19 million vs 90 million Total in guarantees: 81.5 million vs 124 million. Give or a take a few for Brad Miller and Conforto. Hardly a 100 million dollar difference and they fill the RF hole. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capn12 Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 So 5/70 for Suzuki, with a 12.375 posting. A 14 mil yearly impact to CBT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am pretty sure 4/$80-85M would be the offer we gave Conforto. If Schwarber got this deal, I think Conforto would get 5 years and more dollars 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsider2k5 Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 This could be really fun. Sounds like a good chunk of BOS and NYY aren't vaccinated. Going to be a really interesting advantage for Toronto to get to play a ton of teams at home with those teams not only on the road, but short handed. They might be a sneaky pick to bet on this year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
