This whole situation is making the White Sox negotiating or bargaining position look a little less nuanced than previously.

 

Gordon got six years at age 32, granted, he remained with his hometown team.

 

 

1. Royals

2. Indians

3. Tigers

4. Twins (can obviously move up based on Buxton/Berrios impact)

5. White Sox

 

That's where things stand as of right now, at this exact moment.

 

 

 

1. Maybin/Gose

2. Kinsler

3. Miguel Cabrera

4. Victor Martinez

5. Upton

6. JD Martinez

7. McCann

8. Castellanos

9. Iglesias

 

Whether Gose and Maybin can hold up in the leadoff position is another question...

 

They might have to hit Kinsler leadoff, and move Iglesias to 2nd (not sure if last year was an anomaly yet)...and Gose/Maybin/Tyler Collins at the bottom.

Your move, Jerry Reinsdorf.

 

It's hard to make an argument that as things stand today, despite our 3 young/cost-controlled aces at the front of the rotation, we're NOT still likely a 4th or 5th place team.

 

 

If Minnesota can get another starting pitcher, they might actually be the most dangerous team in the AL Central, but Sano still has to follow up his impressive debut and adjust to the pitchers this time around. Buxton has to stay healthy and put up at least a 700 OPS.

 

 

Mike Illitch....balls (or, more accurately, a bank vault) of steel.

The question is would Cespedes want an opt out? Upton is younger. Not sure Cespedes would opt out getting well into his 30s.

Gotta figure some of these guys will pass on theirs (Ian Kennedy needs an opt out? Really? He's going to get more than that?)
