royoung Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 Well I'd say that would rule out Desmond. There is your Saladino insurance and your Tim Anderson mentor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cabiness42 Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 Any chance he actually plays at AAA or does he just get released if he doesn't make the team? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think no chance. Maybe he is a back up instead of Sanchez. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sure he got an outclause in the deal. On a side note, anyone notice how many Saladino as a starter articles we saw in the last week?

fathom Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 Bad news for Carlos Sanchez. Here's your back-up infielder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My thoughts as well. I think if he isn't completely terrible he makes the team. Another possible leader on the bench/dugout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogan873 Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 I would think he'll be a backup or not on the team after spring training, correct? Is this a hint of a possible trade involving Sanchez or just adding a just in case guy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know. I think it's kind of debatable on the more positions part. Depends on Sanchez's arm at short.

Rollins isn't coming here as a back up, I would almost bet on it. He is either a starter, or he will be released. He is on a minor league deal, which means there is nothing at risk right now, and I am sure he has an opt out, or a handshake agreement about playing time.

SoCalSox Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 I see no real downside to this move. His drop off last year was pretty scary but this was a guy that was projected to still get a shot to start this year. Nothing wrong with a vet like this for a year.

ChiSox59 Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 No reason to get worked up over a minor league deal, but I really hope this is just to give Saladino some competition. Jimmy Rollins better not be the Sox opening day SS, unless Saladino gets hurt. Let the kid play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Princess Dye Posted February 22, 2016 Author Share Posted February 22, 2016 (edited) i too see Rollins as the starting guy. if you're going for it, you play all the higher ceiling cards first and milk it. Saladino is 26 so i dont really see much mystery there. He's a defense-first player, period Edited February 22, 2016 by Jose Paniagua Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was my thought as well. If Rollins can start, Saladino makes a nice utility guy. Does Carlos Sanchez have any value? Sanchez/Petricka get a decent OF or probably not?

I still don't think the Sox trust Sanchez to be a solid SS due to arm strength. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
