Timmy U Posted Thursday at 03:03 PM Share Posted Thursday at 03:03 PM Sox are gonna be like the Padres, except instead of shortstops, every position is going to be manned by a second baseman. It is a fine buy-low attempt. I wonder who gets DFA’d to make room? My guess is Scholtens or Amaya, but players they don’t like, e.g. Colas, are suddenly in the picture.

I thought Rojas was a third baseman? If anything, doesn’t this mean Vargas is out as the starting 3b? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogan873 Posted Thursday at 03:09 PM Share Posted Thursday at 03:09 PM Decent WAR last year with a low BA. I'm assuming he's a good defender? Couple good years with Arizona in 21 and 22. The Sox have...quite a few infielders now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe Vargas moves to 1B with him and Vaughn splitting time there and at DH? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then let Rojas split time between 3rd/2nd/OF with Ramos/Sosa getting most of the playtime, but Rojas playing 3/4 or so times a week around the diamond.

southsider2k5 Posted Thursday at 03:19 PM Share Posted Thursday at 03:19 PM 2 fWAR last year with a negative offensive rating. Big time positive UZR/150 at 2b, positive Lf/RF numbers, and really negative at SS, 9 runs below average at 3b Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Sacamano Posted Thursday at 03:19 PM Share Posted Thursday at 03:19 PM Light-hitting 3B. Good glove though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johno Posted Thursday at 03:30 PM Share Posted Thursday at 03:30 PM When does Getz step up to the plate and go after a player who can actually swing the bat and produce on offense? I’m not against this signing, but it would be nice if F’ing once we signed a player who can flat out rake!!! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eminor3rd Posted Thursday at 03:41 PM Share Posted Thursday at 03:41 PM Solid move, was gonna be tough to block all the infield prospects without an addition of some kind. 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFutureIsNear Posted Thursday at 03:41 PM Share Posted Thursday at 03:41 PM Sosa, Vargas and Ramos should be given every opportunity to play before a guy like Rojas. Hopefully it will play out that way 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No player worth anything wants to sign with this organization when it’s been in such disarray over the past few seasons. The Sox can only sign players who don’t have a lot of options to play elsewhere. 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A good player would gladly take the Sox money if they handed out an actual big contract. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buehrle>Wood Posted Thursday at 03:46 PM Share Posted Thursday at 03:46 PM If hr can play SS, fine. Doesn't sound like he can though....so why 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Chappas Posted Thursday at 03:50 PM Share Posted Thursday at 03:50 PM It's amazing how many old guys that I have never heard of are signed by this organization. I guess the fact I barely watch their games any longer keeps me from hearing of these guys. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tnetennba Posted Thursday at 03:53 PM Share Posted Thursday at 03:53 PM Rojas played a damn good 3B for the Mariners last season and is equally capable of covering 2B. The bat leaves a lot to be desired though, which is likely why the M's non-tendered him. Odd that he would choose to come to this mess, cuz I can't see Getz giving the 3B job to anyone but suckass Vargas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boopa1219 Posted Thursday at 04:24 PM Share Posted Thursday at 04:24 PM For a team in their position, they’re having a really good offseason. Shocked he didn’t sign with a more competitive club. I wonder how he’ll be used. I wish they would sign a vet started and make a deal for Robert (if their price is met) but I like what they’ve done so far. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOFHurt35 Posted Thursday at 04:32 PM Share Posted Thursday at 04:32 PM My God. Just let Vargas, Baldwin, Sosa, Ramos, etc get all the reps available. I don't understand why they always need to pay for useless veterans to clog play time? 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
