Whisox05 Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 That's it guys. We can close the Cespedes thread. Hahn has finished his work for the outfield lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 It is interesting how much more active we have become on the waiver wire since Hahn took over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he were to be waived again in an attempt to clear the spot for the 40 man roster, typically the biggest teams for claiming players in the AL are Toronto and Oakland. Seeing as Oakland was under the Sox in the final standings, it means the A's already passed once on him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GGajewski18 Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 Maybe he can pull a Trayce Thompson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthSideSox72 Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 He's like Trayce lite. Lots of walks and K's, speed, good defense. But Fields had a lot of injuries over the years too, didn't show as much power as Thompson, and struck out more in AAA. Not in Detroit T30 from the two lists I saw, and Detroit's system isn't that good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Sacamano Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 (edited) So between him, Sands and Olt, who would be most likely to be the 25th man? Or does anyone think as of now, Sanchez is the platoon guy with LaRoche (keeping Frazier at third or moving Lawrie to third with other DHing)? Obviously I know they aren't done with the starting lineup or bench but it's a hypothetical season starts tomorrow scenario.

Obviously I know they aren't done with the starting lineup or bench but it's a hypothetical season starts tomorrow scenario. I would say none of them. I really don't understand this one other than OF depth at Charlotte. Maybe it means they are going to trade a guy like Shuck or something, but that wouldn't exactly be a blockbuster, and I would think they would be pretty happy with Shuck.

Lip Man 1 Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 Hopefully this is simply Triple A fodder and nothing more. Sounds like another version of Jordan Danks to me. Also hope this isn't implying anything regarding future plans. Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What would be your bench with the current team? Navarro/Avila C Sanchez 2B/SS (can still make a ton of starts if he gets at bats from LaRoche while Frazier or Lawrie get some DH at bats) Shuck OF And then another infielder? Garcia or a minor league signing? Or say screw the 4th spot and go 8th reliever? Actually thinking about it, they play what 7-8 games in a row to open the season? They could break camp with a crowded bullpen and send a guy down when they need another position player.

Perhaps Saladino instead of Sanchez if they bring back Alexei on the cheap for one year after signing Cespedes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 With the roster as constructed now, if Avi is on the bench, who is starting in the OF? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
