I know yours is in green, but the ex Cub factor is starting to become a concern. When you look at him though, is he really any worse than Tyler Flowers?

Princess Dye Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Absolutely love Soto's reaction here when Ozzie's kicks his mask lol http://m.mlb.com/chc/video/topic/8878834/v...sixth/?c_id=chc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChiSoxFanMike Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 I don't understand why they'd go after him, but a Minor League deal is very low risk. It's worth a shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eminor3rd Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 I love it. No risk at all, has the potential to be our best catcher if he's healthy. If we're not going to pay up to acquire a "real" catcher, throwing a bunch of somewhat intriguing crap at the wall is the next best option. Between Flowers, Soto, Kottaras, and Brantly, we've got a better chance of finding a decent season of performance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackSox13 Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 QUOTE (Mike F. @ Jan 22, 2015 -> 02:13 PM) I don't understand why they'd go after him, but a Minor League deal is very low risk. It's worth a shot. Likely due to Soto being a right handed veteran bat that can take over if Flowers misses time or regresses. I like the signing.

Signing reclamation projects not being counted on to contribute is fine. The past couple seasons, it seemed the Sox were counting on some of these guys to be pretty good.

Vance Law Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Anyone know much about his defensive reputation? It'd seem kinda weird to keep the 2 righties, Soto and Flowers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
