SoCalSox Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 I get a weird feeling this guy has this right. I usually shoot this type of thing down but part of me legitimately believes this... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackmooncreeping Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 QUOTE (GreenSox @ Dec 29, 2015 -> 07:27 PM) It makes no sense. Alexei is a declining ballplayer who spent the last 3 year putting on a clownshow. I realize this org. has a thing about young players, but I would hope they could fit ONE young ballplayer onto the team. Cespedes is a veteran, and if he needs his hand held, I'd much rather a professional like Abreu leading the way. I could absolutely see the Sox do this and attempt to bring him back on a 2 yr. I agree his glove took a dive the last 2 season but he hit pretty well in the 2nd half. Keep Saladino as your reserve infielder, send Sanchez to AAA for playing time. Whether it's a viable move remains to be seen, but it wouldnt surprise me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoCalSox Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 Even MLB Network said they expect the Sox to get Cespedes not too long ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Sacamano Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 QUOTE (GreenSox @ Dec 29, 2015 -> 07:29 PM) Not much difference between Avi and Melky. But using Melky as a lefty platoon doesn't make much sense. Maybe he means Melky gets time in DH spot against lefties but plays outfield against righties? Though that would technically be a platoon of LaRoche and guy who plays outfield against lefties (as of now, Avi). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 $21M would be a lower AAV than I would have expected. I honestly thought there would be no way he got less than $150M. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackSox13 Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 I'm divided three ways on that tweet. 1/3 believes, 1/3 bulls***, 1/3 whatever. Patrick doesn't come across as a young kid clamoring for attention so who knows, maybe he does know something. Guess we will find out...

Though that would technically be a platoon of LaRoche and guy who plays outfield against lefties (as of now, Avi). That would move Melky to RF, which he has played very sparingly. Cespedes has never played right, and I seem to recall him causing a ruckus about his position when with Boston. I do like the idea of not moving Avi purely to platoon DH.

If we get another outfielder, I prefer him getting at bats in Charlotte every day in anticipation of a possible LaRoche release if he is terrible the first few months.

Chicago White Sox Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 That guy is all over the place on the Melky stuff and corresponding implications for Avi. Pretty clear bulls*** IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackmooncreeping Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 Gordon to Baltimore Cespedes to LAA Sox to now target Upton after missing on Cespedes/Gordon That's from one unsubstantiated guy earlier today on Twitter.

Sockin Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 More smoke, second person claiming Cespedes will sign with the Sox. @rickslat123 Multiple sources: Yoenis Cespedes @ynscspds has told White Sox he will sign with them. Deal worth north of 110 million. #mlb https://twitter.com/rickslat123/status/682015844033937408 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see that, but they need a RH bench bat. If they really think that they can contend, which I assume they do, you can't go into the season and hand Laroche the bat against lefty pitchers. A guy like Austin Jackson can hit lefties pretty well and his D isn't bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given the choice, I prefer an OF of Jackson-Eaton-Cespedes. That would be pretty solid. Just as soon get the OF D fixed if they are going this far. And dare I suggest that a Jackson/Parra platoon in lieu of the big ticket guy might work as well.
