caulfield12 Posted January 18, 2012 Author Share Posted January 18, 2012 Plus Ramirez was playing a few games in the DR. Did he cross paths with Cespedes' team yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quin Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Here's hoping Alexei and Dayan can convince Soler or Cespedes, or hopefully both, to come here. Soler would be our #1 prospect and Cespedes would be in the bigs probably midseason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago White Sox Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Jan 18, 2012 -> 04:05 AM) Here's hoping Alexei and Dayan can convince Soler or Cespedes, or hopefully both, to come here.

I'll say this much, if KW is really pursuing both of these guys aggressively and we don't end up with one of them, given the Ramirez/Viciedo connection, it would have to be considered a massive fail. I honestly don't care which one either, we just desperately need to add some potential impact talent to the organization and we seem to have a card, if the money is right, should give us an edge over other teams.

This is going to be about money. I full expect us to be outbid on both of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

royoung Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 I would much rather have Soler then Cespedes personally. Scouts think that Soler has the higher upside and he would be much cheaper than Cespedes. Let the Cubs, Marlins and Tigers (hate them all) get into a bidding war over Cespedes. Soler would instantly become our #1 prospect and best position prospect by a mile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would fit our rebuilding/prospect collecting off-season philosophy. Notice I did say he would become our #1 prospect. Hopefully he'd hit the majors right about when Rios's contract comes off the books. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
