LDF Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Jan 5, 2015 -> 03:36 PM) Bonifacio is the perfect bench player. He can play 6 positions, makes decent contact and can steal bases. Really makes it easy to pinch hit for players when you have a guy that can fill in virtually anywhere on the field. I'm not going to quibble about an extra million. This is a great pickup. Players like him are super valuable in October. Edit: The club option makes it even better. If the Sox pick it up it means he did a good job in '15. here is a thought, does anyone think he may be slotted for a starting 2b??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Y2Jimmy0 Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jan 5, 2015 -> 08:27 AM) No offense to anyone here, but if Rick Hahn is getting personnel ideas from Soxtalk, JR needs to find a new GM. Thanks, Dick. Yeah thanks I should have put it in green I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthSideSox72 Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jan 5, 2015 -> 08:29 AM) Leury now probably goes to AAA where he really belonged in 2014. I still have hope for him as a versatile bench piece. He can't hit, but he doesn't have to hit much with all the other things he brings to the table. My feeling on Leury is the same as it was months ago - I'd be shocked if he's even in the organization come April. And if he is he's in Charlotte. I don't think he was ever going to get serious consideration for a MLB job in 2015 with the Sox, barring unforseen injuries. Sanchez and probably even Saladino were more likely options, and both still may be that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flavum Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 White Sox will pay Emillio Bonifacio $3 million in 2015 and either $4 million in 2016 or a $1million buyout.-Levine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsider2k5 Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jan 5, 2015 -> 08:22 AM) Well if the Sox suck next year, nobody here better blame Rick Hahn, because he is doing everything Soxtalk has demanded. I think Bonifacio gets overrated because of a couple hot streaks (mostly fantasy baseball fans), but he's still better than a lot of the bench pieces the Sox have recently had. Oh ye of little faith.

Either Sanchez or Johnson, yes. We didn't see the potential versatility that Semien offered but I think he would have played this role with the Sox. Now they have a guy who does this but better and he provides more versatility and better options late in games as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flavum Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Looking at the makeup of the team, it's too bad Davidson isn't good enough to be a straight platoon with Gillaspie at 3B. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buehrle>Wood Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Probably an overpay so hopefully we can afford it. I don't think Danks' or Viciedo's roster spots are gone yet so I don't see any time for him in the OF, so I think his greatest value will be insurance at third and second. Looks like he's much better hitting righty, which may not actually be a bad thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, sometimes there's a lag time between a signing being made public and a physical to make it official. Could be days, and they're obviously trying to move Viciedo for anything.

If he has another good ST, I think he can certainly compete to be that platoon for Gillaspie. Then make the bench Davidson, Bonifacio, Danks, Brantly/Kottraras QUOTE (ChiSox59 @ Jan 5, 2015 -> 09:16 AM) Finally, what SoxPride18 and I have been clamoring for for months!!! That's what I'm talking about. Had this signing in my very first off season mock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
