chunk23 Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 QUOTE (CWSpalehoseCWS @ Dec 14, 2014 -> 06:53 AM) So I guess the Sox forfeit another pick in the draft? That kind of sucks, but not the end of the world. This is absolutely the right time to stack that though. The first round pick is protected, meaning the forfeit the second and 3rd round this time around, instead of losing a possible 1st or a second with a big FA signing next year.

BigHurt3515 Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 QUOTE (Andy the Clown @ Dec 14, 2014 -> 12:57 AM) The 2B situation still makes me nervous, but hey...hopefully the kids can play. Not every position can be perfect. I think Johnson/Sanchez will be just find as a 2B for this team given the hitters around them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But this is about his market value. It's hard to get extra value out of bigger FA signings, that's just the way it is these days. FWIW, Melky's always killed the Sox. He's hit .336 at the Cell. Maybe he likes the hitting backdrop. Or maybe we never found out how to pitch to him, lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chw42 Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 Things I'd like for the Sox to add: 1) #4 or #5 right-handed starter 2) Veteran 2B for insurance in case Sanchez/Johnson don't work out For the 2B, I'd love for us to get Jed Lowrie. Not sure if he'll be affordable though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmags Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 Sooo Eaton Melky Abreu LaRoche Ramirez Garcia Gillaspie Flowers M. Johnson/Sanchez Looks pretty good. At least average in AL. I think I forget about LaRoche a lot when I think of our holes. That 1-5 is better than last year. If Garcia can be a player that would be brilliant.

No. Pretty sure that the Johnson/Sanchez tandem can manage to hit .220 on their own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
