Can this guy take a walk??? Seriously. I am tired of the Sox getting guys who swing at everything. No more Ramirez guys who hit .270-.290 and have an OBP of .310-.320. The Sox aren't going to win anything until their hitters can get on base. If this guy can't take a walk, I don't think he will be worth $70MM unless he hits as well as Miguel Cabrera.

All signs point to yes. Has a very high OBP in cuban ball.

I think having Alexei and Viciedo on the team had a lot to do with getting him.

 

Hopefully, he turns out to be as good, if not better, than Cespedes and Puig.

 

If Alexei and Viciedo mattered that much, the Sox would have offered only $40 million or so. It was all about the Benjamins.

The sox were in it if it stayed below 80 which they thought it would. This was plan A this offseason.

 

It's a great signing for a team in their position. I expect some pitching surplus to be traded next for a another position player that could be added to the core for the long-term.

Hopefully, his presence will help Alexei and Viciedo reach their full potential. Now wouldn't that be something!
