pcq Posted December 5, 2022 Share Posted December 5, 2022 On 12/5/2022 at 8:30 PM, CaliSoxFanViaSWside said: I have no problems getting OFer's just not the rejects who will cost more than they are worth. Hell I've been posting all of November about OF's. I already answered all your "or's". This team isn't going anywhere without about 8 guys we already have staying healthy and producing. If that doesn't happen having money to spend will make the transition easier in 2024. Kind of weird you weren't too worried about Vaughn's 1st year in what was then a much brighter window than it is now. Colas will put up a better fWAR than Vaughn did in 2021 and 2022. Expand Colas is going to kick azz. He has a chip on his shoulder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm right if it does, but also it might fall apart." Now we get the generic "some people will like it, some will not." I swear, they should write horoscopes with the way everything is so "specifically" open-ended.

In my mind being the backup gives him the best chance to remain healthy and limits the potential for him to hurt the team while playing. I'm fine with however the split shakes out, as long as his contract doesn't automatically make him the starter on most days. Expand Grandal is toast I think. Au revoir.

Kalapse Posted December 5, 2022 Share Posted December 5, 2022 Have higher standards than this. 82 OPS+ over the last 5 seasons and that includes last year's little hot streak. He had a fucking .309 OBP WITH THE WHITE SOX last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He waited until the next signing period because no teams had much money left in the one where he was declared a free agent. He made multiples more money by waiting to sign, not because there was some vast conspiracy to stop him from signing early. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand OMG yea we might have a -.3 and -.4 like we did with Vaughn in 2021 and 202 or the .1 WAR we got out of Sheets. The horror ! Conforto or some other OF for $10M+ will propel the Sox to the playoffs ! Maybe you should start thinking about what could go right. More money for other fixes and cost controlled players for 6 years instead of expensive rejects for 1 year and then you have to fix the problem all over again. 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsideirish71 Posted December 5, 2022 Share Posted December 5, 2022 The splitting the fan base tweet tells me they are going to part with a high end prospect or someone under control.

However, from various reports, like Ozzie and his kids have said that Moncada is his own worst nightmare. Everything is in his head. If someone can get him mentally right the dude has ridiculous potential. However, I don't know if that will ever happen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
