winninguglyin83 Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 Keppinger, Emilio, LaRoche. That's a lot of guys The Chairman has paid to do nothing. I wonder if he is ever going to call Kenny and Hahn into his office and say, "Fellas...." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jose Abreu Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 So now our bench is Shuck, Thompson, Beckham, Soto. 2 outfielders. That's really unnecessary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago White Sox Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 With the benefit of hindsight, an absolutely horrible signing. Still somewhat shocked at how little they used him, although also signing Beckham took away some PT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't worry though, they still have Matt Davidson waiting in the wings! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They actually used to be really good at bringing in retreads...dunno about career norms, but guys that could come in and rebuild their career a bit. Ellis Burks comes to mind. Albert Belle put up a monster year here, although he was pretty amazing for much of his career. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just sad that the hitters you're bring up are from the 90's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Allen Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 People should go back to the Sox sign Bonifacio thread for some perspective. Hahn and KW really aren't dumber than any of us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Sox Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 I thought adding Bonifacio was a solid move at the time, but this move is long overdue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jose Abreu Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 At the time, it seemed like a good signing because he was going to serve as a superutility man. Then Shuck started playing well and we signed Beckham, essentially eliminating his role. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elrockinMT Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Aug 16, 2015 -> 04:29 PM) People should go back to the Sox sign Bonifacio thread for some perspective. Hahn and KW really aren't dumber than any of us. No doubt Bonifacio looked like a good signing as a super utility player. It didn't work out. Feel bad for Emilio because I think he was a positive in the clubhouse but you must produce on the field. When you make personnel moves there is a lot of scrutiny on non-producers like Gillaspie and Bonifacio especially with the struggles of this team. Youth are brought in and must be allowed to play. There is that chance towards the waiver deal deadline that someone like Laroche goes too, but I kind of think that is unlikely. We may be looking at a new DH for 2016 though depending on Thompson's showing the rest of this year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LDF Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 there are several pitchers that are on the waivers that are interesting. claim them and force the team to either let them go or pull them back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
