Buehrlesque Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 I didn't really like Viciedo, but the Sox are dangerously low on corner OFs with any hitting ability. If Avisail gets hurt or just stinks, there is no back up plan at all. Meanwhile, between Sanchez, Johnson, Saladino, Leury, Bonafacio and now Beckham, we have six potential 2B. It's a little strange.

Sockin Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Jan 28, 2015 -> 02:26 PM) He's just as crappy against lefties as he is against righties. If the Bonifacio move didn't happen then I could sort of see how this would make sense as he can play multiple positions but no thanks now. He was very good against LHP last year. .203/.242/.318 versus RH .293/.349/.431 versus LH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This move is stupid. Seriously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buehrlesque Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Jan 28, 2015 -> 02:22 PM) Mrs. Hickory Huskers wholly approves of the reacquisition of Gordon Beckham and is really hoping that Carlos Quentin gets added as well. Crazy as it sounds, you could actually argue that Quentin makes some sense for this team right now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Question is, on film, were there adjustments made against LHP that we think are sustainable. Ya, he's just not going to do that again. Just like Bonifacio isn't going to do what he did last year against lefties but at least with Emilio he has a decent success rate in his career against lhp. There's surely nothing to be outraged about with this move, I just don't get it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 I'll say one thing. I kind of think we should have just held on to DV till spring at this point. Basically in case someone went down early, you at least know you have a bat with some potential upside and power you could plug in. Now if there is an injury to one of our starting OF'ers, we are looking at some severe scraps replacing them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quentin is a surer bet than and clear upgrade from Viciedo. He's making $8 mil in 2015, much of which I'm sure the Padres would eat, making the money about the same as Viciedo.

chitownsportsfan Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Not a huge fan of the move but whatever, Gordon will probably be the 25th man. He's better than Tank for that position. Seems they weren't willing to pay Tank's freight via trade, so whatever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now if there is an injury to one of our starting OF'ers, we are looking at some severe scraps replacing them. Yeah, that's my only issue with this. The Sox are really low on MLB OF options...we're an Avi Garcia or Melky Cabrera injury away from some pretty gross options in the OF. Gotta imagine they'll dumpster dive for another option, assuming Viciedo either gets traded or released. Tyler Colvin, Nate Schierholtz, Ryan Ludwig, Nolan Reimold, Reed Johnson are probably the best FA options are this juncture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
