Bob Sacamano Posted December 28, 2023 Share Posted December 28, 2023 (edited) Would rather just watch Sammy Peralta/Tanner Banks. Have to clear 2 spots now for Maldonado and Hill. Edited December 28, 2023 by Bob Sacamano Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhiteSox2023 Posted December 28, 2023 Share Posted December 28, 2023 (edited) So what is the plan here? Sign all the worst free agents available, don’t develop any of your own much younger players, and do the same thing next offseason once all of these awful one year contracts are DFA’ed or expire?

I’m starting to worry that Harold…I mean Getz is in a bit over his head on this roster building thing. Like WTF does this move accomplish? I didn’t think I could be disappointed with this signing after predicting Amir Garrett but alas he we are with one most puzzling moves in my history as a White Sox fan. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Sacamano Posted December 28, 2023 Share Posted December 28, 2023 Really don’t want to hate on every signing they make but they are making it very difficult and challenging with every signing. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YouCanPutItOnTheBoardYES! Posted December 28, 2023 Share Posted December 28, 2023 Hill wasn’t that bad in 2021 and 2022. That’s probably what they are thinking. But it’s hardly any money so if he sucks it’s not that big of a deal. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You gotta take the bitter with the sweet as JR might be saying to Getz. Any random waiver wire pickup would have more upside than this. But I’m sure this dude flashes some leather and is great in the clubhouse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is the plan here? I just don't understand.... Are they filling the different holes on the roster with cheap, old FA's and then going to spend some money on a SP and RF???

This dude and Paul DeJong should have been MiLB signings. Very cheap though. Surprised Maldonado got as much as he did from the Sox. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a pointless signing but it’s not really worth getting upset about either.

Bummer was a lot better than his reputation around here. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
