southsider2k5 Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 QUOTE (scs787 @ Nov 1, 2014 -> 11:28 AM) I still don't understand why this is so impossible. IF the players they're signing all make since I could certainly see it. Now the chances on them being able to "beat" every other team on these guys that make sense might be rather slim, but hypothetically speaking if their offers do get em I don't see them capping their spendings. Because the White Sox aren't going to have a 110-115 million dollar payroll next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackSox13 Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Nov 1, 2014 -> 12:39 PM) A $40 million payroll boost takes us pretty darn close to $100 million, maybe a tiny bit over. Not to say it will happen but its definitely possible. I can't see how anyone would say it isn't possible at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GGajewski18 Posted November 1, 2014 Author Share Posted November 1, 2014 I wonder what Brendan Morrow would fetch. If he's healthy a pretty good starter. I'd sign him to a 1 year incentives laden deal. Possibly pitch him out of the bullpen too. Just have him focus on an inning and 2 pitches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg775 Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 I'm surprised the media doesn't know who Hahn is targeting. You know he has a plan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick Hahn isn't stupid enough to broadcast his intentions to the whole world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again, if there are players that make sense, why not? I think it's pretty realistic to say that with a better bullpen we're probably looking at a .500 ball club this past year. As is with just the addition of some bullpen arms we're probably a .500 ball club next year. Then when you add other pieces (SP, LF, DH, a whole year of Avi) to said .500 ball club you're looking at a potential playoff club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlackSox13 Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 Good grief MLBTR is getting bad. All they did was regurgitate what's already been speculated and written about by sports writers. Talk about redundant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm iffy on Rasmus as well, but at the very least he could offer some Tank/Dunn like production with above average D which would be nice. Someone here talked me into being ok with that. Adding him to Martinez would push him down to the 6 spot where his power would be real nice. Edited November 1, 2014 by scs787 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
