GGajewski18 Posted December 15, 2015 Author Share Posted December 15, 2015 If the Sox sign Freese, I will not attend a game. He is not what this team needs. Especially spending 10 million a year on him through his 33-35 aged years when you know he'll miss at least 20-25 games each year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Y2Jimmy0 Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 QUOTE (kevo880 @ Dec 15, 2015 -> 01:04 PM) Rosenthal's latest blurb: http://www.foxsports.com/mlb/story/price-h...osenthal-121515 "WHY WHITE SOX MIGHT BALK AT FRAZIER Frazier certainly is a fit at third base and in the middle of the lineup for the White Sox; newly acquired Brett Lawrie could move to second, giving the Sox upgrades at two positions. The problem is, the Reds want significant prospects for two years of Frazier, and the White Sox's system remains relatively thin. Better the team should explore the open market -- if it can find the right solution. A free agent such as second baseman Howie Kendrick would cost the Sox a second-round draft pick; their first-round pick, No. 10 overall, is protected. But Kendrick also has turned down $15.8 million from the Dodgers, and at 32 soon could enter his decline phase. Third baseman David Freese might make more sense -- he probably would be more affordable than Kendrick and the Angels did not make him a qualifying offer, removing the additional cost of a pick." The White Sox would not forfeit their 2nd rounder. It'd be the Samardzija pick that they forfeit which is currently #29 and climbing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunt Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 I really don't see Freese as a match for them at this point. Might as well just role with Lawrie for half the price and keep Sanchez at 2B. Atleast the defense will be solid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be as well served by a replacement level player than Jay Bruce. We are so bad that of course he could pass as our DH, but that would have to be a pure scrap heap zero-given-up acquisition.

I don't see enough of a difference to justify giving up top tier prospects when the other is younger and can be had for a more reasonable package of prospects.

I'd much prefer a Lawrie-Saladino-Sanchez infield that a Freese-Saladino/Sanchez-Lawrie infield. That is $10M in AAV that needs to be spent on a better player.

Sign Freese and Cespedes, keep draft picks and prospects. Freese had a good World Series for the Cards. He hasn't lived up to expectations since.

Bruce's 2015 isn't all that different from what we can reasonably expect from LaRoche next year. I'd rather have Bruce because of his age and option year, but we can't have both, and since clearing LaRoche means sending money with him...

I chewed them up. Good for you! That's hilarious because Frazier isn't worth Q in a 1-1 trade. I think Dusek is an example of what GreenSox talks about when he says "hero love/worship". I know the term is used alot but in this case it clearly fits. Not trying to take anything away from Frazier but that package is just preposterous.
