He’s got all the talent in the world. He’s probably already locked himself into being a let down in a White Sox jersey, but I wouldn’t be surprised at all to see the light bulb go on once he realizes the well is going to run dry in a couple years. It’s in there. Hope it starts in 23. Does the removal of the shift help him though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's got only this year as a free agent on his contract. He's worth nothing. And Kyle Lewis please no. Why trade prospects for these guys when you can just claim Stone Garrett with keep the prospects. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The idea that a left handed hitter with a career WRC+ of 126 and .836 OPS is “worth nothing” is ridiculous. Soxtalk: Our front office sucks, they don’t do anything! Also Soxtalk on any available player that’s going to make less than $20mil a year: That player sucks, don’t bring him here! SHOULD this organization just spend some $ and solve our problem with Nimmo? Of course. Will they? Of course not. At some point beggars can’t be choosers and we have to be realistic. If it’s possible to buy low on Jesse Winker it’s definitely not a bad realistic option. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should done buying rentals. It fixes nothing. The rebuild is over . 1 year of Winker solves what exactly for the future of this franchise ? If you haven't noticed Soxtalk is made up of many different people. There is not a hive or collective mentality hence many different opinions .

If you haven't noticed Soxtalk is made up of many different people. There is not a hive or collective mentality hence many different opinions . Again, no one is more for a bigger/better move than me…but what’s the realistic option? And I said buy low. I wouldn’t be interested in a deal that involves any prospect we care about. Not to mention that 1 year fits pretty well in my opinion. Give this core 1 more year to prove they can play healthy and up to potential. If that doesn’t work out we are going to be at a serious cross roads and probably looking to unload anyway. 1 last time, signing Nimmo should be #1 plan A and a move for a guy like Winker should be in the plan F range…but we all know that’s about where this franchise operates so I’m just trying to be realistic about a 1/2 decent option Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NCsoxfan Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 This offseason is depressing. I’m skeptical there’s a plan. If there is a plan, then I’m even more skeptical that they have the baseball minds/analysis to make good decisions. Even if they have a sound plan, I’m doubtful they can outmaneuver LA, NYY, TB, HOU, etc 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s how little faith I have left in his ability to put a winning product on the field.

I have been saying that for a while. But they still need to figure out a way to add warm bodies. They need 2 outfielders and a starter to fill out a roster. Not negotiable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To go along with their core like Tim Anderson, Luis Robert, Moncada, Eloy, Vaughn...... This whole give up a prospect concept.......if this is a one year rental do you think the sox are giving up Oscar Colas? Come on man.....make some sense. I'm not advocating for Jesse Winker......I'm disagreeing with your premise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do wonder if these guys do know someone in the org and they're feeding them a lot of bullshit. I doubt they'd be able to keep their jobs with the Sox if they were spilling the beans about what is actually going on. I think this might be 100% planted info that the FO wants in the public. These guys do occasionally get something right. Edited November 17, 2022 by Jack Parkman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
