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'm guessing Amaya.

I thought Rojas was a third baseman? If anything, doesn’t this mean Vargas is out as the starting 3b?

Yeah, majority of his time has been at 3B.  I was just checking that out.  Maybe Vargas moves to 1B with him and Vaughn splitting time there and at DH?

That is my hope. 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.

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!!!

That requires money.

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.

I don't think that has anything to do with it. A good player would gladly take the Sox money if they handed out an actual big contract.

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.

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.
