ChiSoxFanMike Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 (edited) Here's how this works. Just make a list of the guys that won't be in a White Sox uniform by Opening Day 2016 that are currently on the team. When that time comes, we can see how close we were to our predictions. My guesses are: - Tyler Flowers - Alexei Ramirez - Carlos Sanchez - Junior Guerra - Hector Noesi - John Danks - Emilio Bonifacio Edited June 13, 2015 by Mike F.

flavum Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 Alexei, Gillaspie, Flowers, Sanchez, Beckham, Bonifacio, Soto, Samardzija, Danks, Noesi, Ju. Guerra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LDF Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 Alexei needs to be back, even if it for playing SS. i still think he is improving. re-Danks, ahhhh lets not forget the length of his contract? the owners should suck it up and pay him and put him in some extended d/l. but they won't do that, b/c of what the cost of his salary.

fathom Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 Alexei has been horrible this year. He's lost a lot of range and bat speed. Time to find a new SS next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have lots of catchers and none of them are earning the spot. That does suggest they might offer arb just to have someone in the role to see how it goes.

daggins Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 Actually with Flowers, they might non tender him and try to re-sign him. He might be worth ~2M but he definitely isn't worth 4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He might be worth ~2M but he definitely isn't worth 4. there is no freaking way he is worth 4 mil. however to pull that bluff, the sox better have an option ready, to replace him if he doesn't want to come back.

Bluff ? There's been a lot of options the last few years the Sox coud've picked up off the scrap heap who could be just as effective as Flowers.
