I guess it's more before the end of theyear not necessarily in july.

Expand Very quickly for a guy who has zero MiLB ABs or experience is still a year or two away even if he FLIES through the system. If that's the case though, I am not sure why we fired Rick Hahn.

TheBooneLoganEra Posted Tuesday at 03:59 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 03:59 PM Just got back from the weekend in Glendale.

Will be interesting to see what he eventually signs for. Ultimately, I think he will probably be out of the Sox range of around $5 million. Texas gave him $13 million for last season and he had a good year. I know he’s old as dirt but he keeps putting up good seasons so I doubt he takes that much of a pay cut.
