Hatchetman Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 I didn't want the guy but can't complain on the price. The lineup still needs some major upgrades. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank_Thomas Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 QUOTE (flavum @ Dec 9, 2015 -> 08:36 PM) Avila and Lawrie can rock/paper/scissors for #13. I think Lawrie wears 15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LDF Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 QUOTE (PolishPrince34 @ Dec 10, 2015 -> 03:35 AM) Heyward Age 26 Cespedes Age 30 and upton is 28. but cespedes will not cost the sox a draft pick.... just thinking. heyward may want a option at 3 yr to leave. that will be a win win Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PolishPrince34 Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 Solid move by Hahn. Didn't give up much talent. Solved a huge hole at 3b. Also love that Lawrie is 26 years old and hasn't reached his prime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flavum Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 QUOTE (Frank_Thomas35 @ Dec 9, 2015 -> 08:37 PM) I think Lawrie wears 15 True. He wore 13 in Toronto and is part of his twitter handle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank_Thomas Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 QUOTE (PolishPrince34 @ Dec 9, 2015 -> 08:35 PM) Heyward Age 26 Cespedes Age 30 Out of those three I think I rather have Upton. If Gordon is in the discussion I'm not sure if I rather have him or Upton more. I'm just stoked we got this guy. And the last time the A's traded a 3B he turned out to be the ALMVP.

flavum Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 Really good potential to be the right fit for him and the Sox. 2 years at his age? Perfect for the 2016 Sox. Well done, Sox FO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baron Posted December 10, 2015 Author Share Posted December 10, 2015 Love Cubs fans crapping on this move because he's a less good version of AJ as one person called him. But they just signed a 35 year old for nearly 60 million who's overall value was actually lower than Brett's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baron Posted December 10, 2015 Author Share Posted December 10, 2015 QUOTE (SoCalSox @ Dec 9, 2015 -> 08:44 PM) Play by play for us? Sure He had a great time in Oakland. Thanked the fans and apologized for not doing better. Said he knows Melky and Navarro. He's really excited to play with Abreu,Eaton and the great pitching staff. Used to be traded. Just gotta have a positive mindset. He loves hard working teammates and wants to help this team win a championship. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Sacamano Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 I'd prefer Heyward. Don't care that it's more money. He won't be around after year 4/5 around anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaliSoxFanViaSWside Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 (edited) Seems as if most of us either under valued our prospects or over valued Lawrie regarding who would be traded to get him. Whatever the case I really like how it worked out. Edited December 10, 2015 by CaliSoxFanViaSWside Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is nothing more than a stop gap move. If people think he's the long term answer at 3rd, he's not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
