Good. Makes a lot of sense for the Sox.

BOS, OAK, SEA, CLE ahead of CWS in waiver priority. Some have also speculated Oakland would be a fit for Valencia.

This just screams of an Oakland value claim. He has another year of reasonable contract still.

He's no savior but we need to pick him up. Saladino is already wearing out. Batting ave. plummetting. Don't get me wrong, I love Saladino but he's overworked, especially in the 2 hole. We need Valencia even though he's nothing special.

Saladino has not been bad...

 

 

But he is a placeholder. We eventually need a run producer at 3rd especailly based on 2nd and SS. Saladino and Sanchez can fight out 2nd next year in ST. They both look more like .240 ML hitters w a good to very good glove

Sox should give him a shot at short next year. Cheap stopgap at short.

Valencia is a placeholder. Switching out placeholders isnt exactly taking steps in resolving the problem
