southsider2k5 Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Dec 9, 2015 -> 03:22 PM) Maybe the plan is aggressively see if we can contend (i.e, can we pair together 2-3 moves quickly that make us contenders) and if that answer is no, we move to a plan B? Otherwise I don't get the sense for why you need to make them in coordination (unless of course the whole strategically is contingent on us truly being capable of making X moves and if we can't, then we truly have an alternative direction we'd take). That said, you can't wait too long if that really was what you'd do because the market of suitors would dry up. This is how I see it. There isn't a need to bring in one of these guys. If you feel you can contend, you need the whole package. One of them is a waste of time. I honestly think the only reason the catcher moves happened is because the market moved quicker than they wanted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were no-brainers to make the club better now and it isn't as if Flowers was some great long-term option anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, Hawk will be sure to tell us all about it for half of the season though and how the season would have been totally different if Kenny was able to make the game changer I heard about.

While I have some concerns of Lawrie, it also sounds like he's a pretty hard ass player who brings an edge, which I think we could use more of.

Lip Man 1 Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 For what its worth I just got off the phone with the former assistant GM for the Helena Brewers. Milwaukee was the team the originally drafted Lawrie and he was supposed to be assigned there. He held out and wound up missing the entire Pioneer League season He said flat out the guy is a "head case" (direct quote) and that's why the Brewers got rid of him so quickly.

SoCalSox Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 I'm still confused how anyone can look at the Sox history & see what they currently have at 3B & say they don't want Lawrie. At the right price, this could be a very nice add. That or give up your #1 overall prospect for 2 years of Todd Frazier. Or sign a "stop gap" with no one really down in the minors to develop.
