BaconOnAStick Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 And if it doesn't, is Hahn to blame? If the Sox miss the playoffs because Sale/Q/Rodon get hurt and nobody steps up that's just baseball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg775 Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 (edited) If we get Cespedes we have to deal Avi or Melky. I'm not a big fan of the Melk-ster. Trade him. Have outfield of Cespedes, Eaton and Avi and get a middle reliever for Melky?? We probably could use Cespedes' presence in the lineup.

I think it's more realistic to send Avi down to AAA in this scenario with Schuck being the 4th OF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reiks12 Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Will Cespedes want to play CF? I know he was itching for it according to the announcers during the playoffs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackSox13 Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Mets' Fred Wilpon on Yoenis Cespedes: 'Your guess is as good as mine' http://fansided.com/2016/01/20/mets-fred-w...uess-good-mine/ Nothing really new to be honest, just more speculation from NY like what we would read in Chicago.

Bigsoxhurt35 Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 QUOTE (Tony @ Jan 20, 2016 -> 07:59 PM) I asked the question because I'm curious where expectations will be if Cespedes is signed. It seems like that will meet the fans expectations for a very good off-season. What if they fail, and it's an 81 win season. Who is to blame at that point? The players. At that point the front office did all they could. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who is to blame at that point? and for me, you make a great question but i would like to know why 81 wins.... if everyone is healthy then i would blame the FO b/c they saddle this great group of players with a freaking incompetent field manager. pitchers hurt, then it goes back to getting a back up pitcher which i been ragging about. key players hurt.... can not fault no one except lady luck.

Guest Yoenis Cespedes Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 (edited) Give me reasons to go to White Sox. Want to sign by Friday, Jay-Z... I mean raBBit. Jose, please chime in also. My cell was left on the green at the 17th hole when I four putted and got upset. Edit: Also, raBBit... Have an intern call AT&T to have them do the find my phone thing again. If someone found it - just give them a million once my contract is signed. Edited January 21, 2016 by Yoenis Cespedes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BaconOnAStick Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 If the Sox do sign Cespedes the next priority has to be getting Melky back to his old "training" regimen. Hopefully one that's less conspicuous. A clean Melky in LF isnt going to be doing the Sox any favors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LDF Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 QUOTE (Tony @ Jan 21, 2016 -> 01:07 AM) Also, I'm not saying I think there is a right answer. Obviously a thousand different things can happen. But if a resounding amount of people say "Hahn and Williams did everything they could this off-season and it was a resounding win", then in theory we shouldn't hear any complaints at the end of 2016 about a bad front office. But I have a hunch that won't be the case. you not including mismanagement on the field...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigsoxhurt35 Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Now I will say that if there are big injuries to key players than that could be a factor in that 81 win season. Here's to hoping we get Cespedes and have a great season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuuuuuck!?!?! I'm hanging around for two things. 1) to see if the Sox are able to sign Cespedes. 2) to witness the nuclear meltdown if the Sox do not sign Cespedes. Either way, it should be interesting to read the responses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
