Chicago White Sox Posted December 19, 2022 Share Posted December 19, 2022 I’m pretty sure this Steve guy is a fraud and the timing of this rumor is awfully suspect given we were just talking about him in another thread, but I’d be very excited about his addition. He is an ideal 4th OF. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
South Side Hit Men Posted December 19, 2022 Share Posted December 19, 2022 Would prefer Conforto, but this is better than the current roster. 10D + Cleavager + Duvall + Segura + #3 SP = Legitimate hope in 2023. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GREEDY Posted December 19, 2022 Share Posted December 19, 2022 (edited) All of the foodies followed this guy in the last few minutes since it was posted here. Safe to say they are all listed in the "recently browsing" at the bottom of this page. Just wanted to say hi to you douchebag(s). Also, I noticed a fake insider tell: When they also list the reasons why a team would be in on a player after dropping the scoop. It is like they can't help themselves from explaining what led them to making this guess. It is sad, this is a decent idea, and the connection makes sense, just tweet that. Why add the fake insider bs? Edited December 19, 2022 by GREEDY 3 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoCalChiSox Posted December 19, 2022 Share Posted December 19, 2022 Getting a solid platoon LH 2B is a bigger priority than 4th OF, IMO. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheFutureIsNear Posted December 19, 2022 Share Posted December 19, 2022 I see he played CF in 2022, but is Duvall still capable of holding down CF for any kind of extended time? That would be the only thing that worries me as we are another Robert injury away from having Luery/Billy Hamilton as our starting CF.

If Duvall was 6-8 million, and we were able to dump Kelly's 9. Spending that on Duvall and then the remainder on a BP guy would be a much better use of resources than just keeping Kelly.

Im good with that too. Would see what full Time Romy could do. Wouldn't mind Andrus on a one yr 1 option deal either.

His OAA was 4 in CF so very nice because still has speed, good arm , very good jumps .Everything in the red on his Baseball Savant page.
