LDF Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 QUOTE (SoCalSox @ Jan 19, 2016 -> 05:44 PM) If this were a different situation I would be more patient but they've botched a rebuild, traded 3 top 10 prospects for 2 players with 2 years of control & now are watching teams in their own division get better. They've made the commitment to go "all in", so they need to carry it out. That's my mindset. and mine as well, but at this point, which is the right course of action. i am saying they HAVE to finish what they started..... on a side note, i still won't over pay by a huge amount. btw, great post.

Y2Jimmy0 Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 (edited) QUOTE (Jose Paniagua @ Jan 19, 2016 -> 10:49 AM) Alright, goodnight: Bob Nightengale @BNightengale 2m2 minutes ago The Washington #Nats and Houston #Astros, each who had expressed interest in Justin Upton, may now turn their attention to Yoenis Cespedes. I'll take the Houston OF that gets moved if they go after Cespedes. Evan Drellich said yesterday that Houston isn't interested in giving Cespedes a long, big $$ deal. I could totally see Washington doing something stupid though. We shall see. Edited January 19, 2016 by Y2JImmy0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoCalSox Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Jan 19, 2016 -> 08:50 AM) Did they ever say anything about going "all in" though? Hahn mentioned that it's likely that they'd be adding an OF and that they weren't satisfied with the offense yet. It was also reported that the White Sox would be interested in the OF's on their terms. Then all of a sudden, fans started assuming that they'd be handing out 5-6 contracts which is just not happening. If Cespedes takes a 4 year deal, I think the White Sox are in this. If het gets 5-6, they won't be and they will move on to other options. Why else do you trade for two players with two years of control?

hi8is Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 While on a 12 day sabbatical - I've learned a great deal regarding hypocrisy among ambiguous ominous figures. Additionally, pink flamingo mating paterns have been analyzed. Finally, Cespedes looks to have continued sitting on his proverbial pot. Respectfully announcing to all fellow colleagues, creme brûlée cheesecake bake off begins in 18 seconds at my house. The end is near.

Dunt Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 If they lose out on Cespedes, give me Jackson and Pearce and call it an offseason. That's 3.3 fWAR you're adding, better D in CF, and a good platoon option with LaRoche and bat off the bench. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chisoxfn Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 So I'm just catching up to this thread, but given the Upton signing (money & years), does anyone realistically think the Sox are going to offer 20+M for Cespedes and does anyone actually think the market doesn't indicate he'll get that?

That's 3.3 fWAR you're adding, better D in CF, and a good platoon option with LaRoche and bat off the bench. I'd like this plan as well. Throw in Doug Fister and it'd be a good offseason. vs RHP 1. Eaton RF 2. Cabrera LF 3. Abreu 1B 4. Frazier 3B 5. LaRoche DH 6. Lawrie 2B 7. Avila C 8. Jackson CF 9. Saladino SS vs LHP 1. Eaton RF 2. Cabrera LF/DH 3. Abreu 1B/DH 4. Frazier 3B 5. Lawrie 2B 6. Pearce 1B/DH/LF 7. Navarro C 8. Jackson CF 9. Saladino SS Offense would be better with Cespedes but this allows you to sit LaRoche vs LHP and it improves the outfield defense tremendously while allowing you to keep 3 top 50 draft picks.
