southsider2k5 Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Dec 30, 2015 -> 11:51 AM) well we all know the tried and true method of bringing up a bunch of mediocre and flawed minor leaguers does nothing but lead the way to the playoffs Give it 30 years like KC and Pittsburgh.

flavum Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 (edited) https://twitter.com/MeridianoTV/status/682583109985038337 Some tweets saying Carlos Sanchez will not be with his winter league team's postseason. Can't quite tell if the White Sox pulled the plug, or what...looks like they want him to leave so he can work on SS more before spring training. https://twitter.com/Vboccone/status/682586292656467969 Edited December 31, 2015 by flavum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems odd to not let him finish the postseason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackSox13 Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 Regarding Sanchez: http://www.liderendeportes.com/movil/detal...dNoticia=175700 " In fact, the absence of Sanchez in the semifinals is because the White Sox are very interested in the infielder is trained during the month of January as shortstop, and so it was told to La Guaira about two weeks ago. "We made a proposal, both Carlos and to the White Sox, to at least partially train him throughout the month of January as shortstop, but Carlos preferred to follow a full-time program of preparation as a shortstop, " concluded Jose Antonio Herrera. " Pretty much confirms what we've heard about Sanchez and Saladino competing at SS in ST. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're better off having some competition than just handing Tyler the job. I agree and would rather go with one of these guys instead of Alexei or fricken Desmond. My only concern with Carlos is will his arm strength good enough for SS but we will find that out in ST. I really hope the Sox stick to this competition between Sanchez and Saladino.

GGajewski18 Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 QUOTE (raBBit @ Dec 31, 2015 -> 03:55 PM) Sox don't consider Sanchez a legitimate option at SS. Just a spot start type guy. I figured that, Sanchez seems like he doesn't have the arm for SS everyday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackSox13 Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 QUOTE (raBBit @ Dec 31, 2015 -> 03:56 PM) When they say Saladino/Sanchez are going to battle it out for SS in ST, it's not much different than when they were saying "We have Mike Olt at third" prior to the Lawrie/Frazier trades. So are you thinking the Sox go with Saladino at SS and Sanchez as his backup or that the Sox could sign/trade for a SS? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenSox Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 QUOTE (raBBit @ Dec 31, 2015 -> 03:56 PM) When they say Saladino/Sanchez are going to battle it out for SS in ST, it's not much different than when they were saying "We have Mike Olt at third" prior to the Lawrie/Frazier trades. Except that Saladino makes a lot more sense at SS than Olt did at 3B. i.e. there's a much higher chance that Saladino performs at league average at SS than Olt at 3B. Sanchez should get a fair amount of starts, a good amount of playing time, and the bench and options are light years better than Beckham/Bonifacio.

BlackSox13 Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 QUOTE (raBBit @ Jan 2, 2016 -> 01:10 AM) I am saying if the Sox go to camp RV, Hahn and Dan Hayes are saying that Saladino/Sanchez are battling it out in a SS competeition that it's Saladino's job. Saying Sanchez/Saladino are in a competition is a formality of rhetoric. Makes sense. Goes in line with when the SS position is mentioned, Hahn refers to Saladino first and foremost. IIRC the FO was pretty high on Saladino before he went down for TJ surgery and the FO was pretty bummed about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whisox05 Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 We marvel at #Dodgers left-handedness, but 2015 #WhiteSox had 116 starts by LHP, most in #MLB since 1983 #Yankees.

Maybe to the Sox, and then we sign a FA outfielder not named Cespedes that doesn't require a pick ? If we could recoup the lost pick for Desmond after 2016, maybe...?

Upton and fowler does cost a pick. If you sign Desmond to a one year deal and as long as he stays with the team the whole year the Sox can deal offer him a qualifying offer then next year and get a pick back.

I really hope they avoid signing players if they are going to lose draft picks. They need to make rebuilding that minor league system a TOP priority as much as trying to compete in the majors. They have already traded some talent, now it's time to replenish as much as they can. I like Fowler, but not for a draft pick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Fowler, but not for a draft pick. Normally, I'd be against signing a guy that costs a draft pick, but in this case the Sox have already picked up one from Samardzija so if they just lose that pick they still have their usual first and second round slots.
