Next need, LF?


SoCalSox

Recommended Posts

The White Sox have improved the DH/LH position, their bullpen including a real closer, and now a top of the rotation starter.

 

With holes at 3B, C, and LF, the outfield seems the most likely to fill.

 

Ultimately, as KW and Hahn said earlier, they are running low on funds. After everything is said and done, the Sox are a few million under $100M in payroll.

 

How are the Sox going to get that needed piece (OF w/ glove that can hit well enough to slide into the #2 slot)? Trade seems most likely to me.

The only "hole" left is one of the outfield spots. While Gillaspie and Flowers aren't ideal, they aren't holes either. LF is definitely next.

 

I agree, which brings the question... Who?

 

What are the options?

Since I called Shark (and his extension which he will sign), I'll call this one, too.

 

Gerardo Parra from MIL.

 

Gold glover, flexible, can play CF as well. Would fit nicely in the 9 hole of the lineup and play gold glove defense.

 

I could also see Michael Morse as a LF/DH platoon, although he won't be too cheap or a good defensive option.

I like Van Slyke. He's been such a good hitter for LA the past few years in limited time. Not sure why LA would trade him though. He's cheap and a great 4th OFer that can probably start on a lot of other teams.

Upton would be quite the get.

 

And the biggest gamble.

 

You'd have to give up Anderson and Montas OR Danish and maybe even one more secondary piece...in the Top 11-25 range, someone like a Matt Davidson. At the VERY least, Hawkins and Montas OR Danish and another piece.

 

That's just too high a price unless you're sure that you can keep him past 2015.

Bruce would be my choice. I think he's far and away the best of that bunch. He probably wouldn't cost Anderson but would take 2 or 3 top prospects. Maybe Danish/Montas, and Thompson plus.

with the signing of Lester, now i more incline to get Bruce, only if the sox don't loose

Anderson and Montas.

 

a package of Hawkins plus.

Lester signing with the Cubs shouldn't affect what the Sox do, but I'd like to see Jay Bruce on the Sox. I think the Sox would have to give up too much for him, though. I don't see a scenario where the Sox wouldn't have to give up Montas, Danish, or Anderson to get him.

pls let me explain my statement. the team looks sweet now.

 

but i am looking at the Chi media contest, the sox now made a great overall

and add that last piece, the media will surely keeping looking at the Sox. Fan

attendance, more ticket sales, more commercials, more press. that is where i

am going with this.
