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 would think Petricka plus low level guy could get you Guyer. Maybe don't even need the low level guy.

Eh. 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.

 

 

This is asurprise move with the potential for a good return. Rollins has talent and might still have a good year left in the tank

So you think opt-out at end of ST if he doesn't win starting spot?

 

Yes. I am sure he has a release date for being activated to the 25 man roster, probably at the end of March. I would also guess he got a handshake agreement that if they don't see him as the starter at that point, Hahn will let him explore other options.

Just add Rollins to the ever growing list of players that the Sox get past their primes.

 

Griffey, Ramirez, Vizquel, Jones, Dunn, LaRoche, etc. It's pathetic.

 

I see no real issue with this move. Not like they just gave him $5M for the year to be a question mark. Literally no risk involved here. Could end up being a smart move that we look back on as being worth a win or two w/ bench roles, etc.
