shysocks Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 http://grantland.com/features/worst-mlb-co...prince-fielder/ Included: A number of guys brought up as Soxtalk offseason targets at one point or another (Edwin Jackson, Andre Ethier, Joshn Hamilton, Ryan Howard). Not included: John Danks or any other White Sox. I would take any of these guys before Prince Fielder, for the record. Thanks Rangers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the Cubs cut EJax, I have the feeling the Sox would be interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kitekrazy Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Congrats to Jackson's agent. Hard to believe a $11M annual salary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ILMOU Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 QUOTE (kitekrazy @ Feb 9, 2015 -> 11:50 AM) Congrats to Jackson's agent. Hard to believe a $11M annual salary. It was actually $52M over 4 years or 13/yr overall, I believe. The contract was slightly front-loaded. Truly, the Adam Dunn of pitching contracts, but is there any comparison in the bad press that each side of town got for the signings? Not completely unrelated to why Albert Almora is still in all the Top 100's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowand44 Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Was there any dip in Edwin's velocity last year? He'd be a perfect candidate to grab if the Cubs let him go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'd be a perfect candidate to grab if the Cubs let him go. He's been slowly trending downward every year since 2011. 2011: 94.7 2012: 93.4 2013: 93.0 2013: 92.8 Is that the cause of his struggles? Seems doubtful, but eh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
