RockRaines Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 I have a nugget on this, trying to figure out how to send out mass PM's. However. I believe this was plan B to Abreu. I've heard next to nothing regarding adding payroll. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trying to figure it out. Either way, I think Granderson was plan B, and frankly not as talked about as it was in the media. Now I could be shocked and see some activity next week, but right now I'm seeing alot of scouts flying to Chicago. And you wouldnt need those for someone like Granderson.

Isn't Granderson from Chicago? Wouldn't be surprised if he still lives here in the offseason. Not that they're like, scouting him on the couch or whatever, lol. I don't know, I guess it doesn't matter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teams are going cheap and forcing scouts to make connections instead of flying non-stop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dayan024 Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 (edited) Curtis Granderson in Chicago at blackhawks game 2nite shooting puck at 2nd intermission with free agency only 2 days away.. Granderson mite be a whitesox come tuesday or it mite just be wishful thinking on my part Edited November 4, 2013 by dayan024 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2nd_city_saint787 Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 As long as the contract isn't anywhere near what that bookie said a little bit ago I'm cool with Granderson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granderson mite be a whitesox come tuesday or it mite just be wishful thinking on my part I saw that too. I'm hoping it's a sign because he's so much better than Alejandro, but I don't know. To those downgrading him, imagine our 2012 lineup with Abreu and Grandy in it. A gigantic improvement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think even I would rather have De Aza and his contract than Granderson and his contract. I love Granderson, but I don't want him unless he's signing a 2 yr/$24M deal at the most. He should be a 3+ WAR player, but he had an injured 2013 and his defense, sabr speaking, is all over the place. But a 2 yr deal doesn't really make a difference, so I'd rather not sign him at all.

I'm ok with Granderson getting money but I don't think he's an everyday CF, or at least probably not any more. Maybe for a year. But...I could put up with it if they are able to get good value from De Aza in a trade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes a difference if they're trying to compete those 2 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sircaffey Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 A 2 yr deal to Granderson could turn into a nice tradeable asset. Exactly the type of the deal the Sox should be looking to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jose Abreu Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 He could be a two year signing that we flip at the trade deadline. We did the same to a certain 2013 World Series winning starter this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well if bucket is to be believed the Sox do plan on at least attempting to compete the next 2 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
