spiderman Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 Cooper seemed optimistic on the morning show that the White Sox were not doing making moves (it doesn't sound as if he is heavily involved though). Sounds like the Sox still want to add one more reliever to the mix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spiderman Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 Daryl Van Schouwen @CST_soxvan Hahn: Sox have reached $ limit but they still want upgrade in one area in particular. Presumably that's left field. Wants speed, athleticism Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreatScott82 Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 It sounds like LF and bullpen are the main focus right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaconOnAStick Posted December 11, 2014 Author Share Posted December 11, 2014 Yea that sure sounded like GM speak for "we want to trade Viciedo and find a new LF." Also, that's enough Laurence Holmes for the next year or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreatScott82 Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 He also said there is no set plan for Rodon yet. He keeps hinting toward the bullpen but mentioned that he will eventually become a horse in the rotation for a long period of time. I wouldn't mind him starting in AAA just to get stretched out. Hopefully he will force the issue and come up ASAP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackSox13 Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 If the Sox are indeed at their payroll limit for 2015, I guess we can forget about the likes of Kemp, Crawford, Ethier and CarGo unless Danks and his salary are moved in a trade. Sucks having about 21M wrapped up in Danks/ Viciedo. That money could easily net the Sox a LF and a reliever. Oh well, in Hahn we trust.

GGajewski18 Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 Dan Hayes @CSNHayes · 13m 13 minutes ago Left field, bench, relief among areas #WhiteSox still working on. http://bit.ly/1vG3PXl Colby Rasmus Emilio Bonifaco Brandon Morrow/Joe Thatcher This helps especially if Viciedo and/or Danks is traded.

Shelling out $56 million for a closer and a 1 year rental SP doesn't make sense if they don't have the coin to upgrade the lineup any further.

SoCalSox Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 I do think the Sox are maxing out within the next $5-10M. They are right at $100M right now with Viciedo and all the hidden costs. I've said all along that I didn't believe Merkin's report of $90M but I also don't think they go above $105M. They've already spent more payroll than they came in with.
