Whisox05 Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 White Sox have 10 days to trade Viciedo . Seattle always liked the player . Many conversations but no deal . https://twitter.com/MLBBruceLevine/status/560523050400354305 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buehrle>Wood Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 I don't have any faith in Sox management in making him a backup, even if that's what was agreed upon when he signed. Or even if he's not the opening day starter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GGajewski18 Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 I like the move given he stays on the bench, maybe plays against LHP from time to time, and maybe a defensive replacement for Micah in late innings. I am actually pretty upset about the DFA of Viciedo. My reasoning, he is only 25 who can still hit the ball out of the ballpark. Yes, he's a bad OFer, he costs 4.4 million, but with all of that he still has tons of power that you cannot teach or get easily, I would of taken the financial hit that he brings and designate Wilkins who is older and hasn't shown anything in the MLB. I would of kept Viciedo as the 4th OFer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Allen Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 QUOTE (shysocks @ Jan 28, 2015 -> 01:40 PM) Do we actually know that though? Reassure me. See the post below yours. Hahn was looking for a bench piece. Beckham is a bench piece unless he outplays the others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harfman77 Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Would much rather move Shuck or L Garcia off the 40 man than Viciedo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a good VETERAN bench. Veteran being key there, because I think they know their roles by this time in their career, all have seen success and failure as a starter, and now want to win. That's my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cabiness42 Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Only have to eat $750K and if someone claims him for the full balance, the Sox are off the hook entirely. Or they could have eaten ZERO DOLLARS by non-tendering him in December like they should have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wouldn't surprise me if he went somewhere and became a decent bat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whisox05 Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 (edited) I'm kinda hoping tony campana gets the 4th outfield spot. That speed along with bonifacio, eaton and johnson would be awesome.

Like you said before Dick, it would not surprise me if he went to another team and ended up having a decent career. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jose Abreu Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Hahn: Like Bonifacio, Gordon brings the ability to play solid defense at multiple positions or play on an everyday basis should need arise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not loving the options for the 4th OF, but that's a damn good bench if you ask me. I would be fine with Beckham, Bonifacio, or any of the backup catcher options starting on any given day.

No, they shouldn't have. They didn't know they would sign Melky Cabrera. You don't sign Melky, and you non-tender Viciedo, then who is your starting LF? Jordan Danks? JB Shuck? You want that?

True dat. Anyway, I appreciate that his salary is low and what the Sox have said about his role, but I am very pessimistic about their ability to stick to it.

With Beckham in the fold, isn't Bonifacio technically the 4th OF at least on the days Gordon plays?
