People saying this is some awful offseason aren't dealing in reality. They made quite a few substantial improvements.

 

That said, what is so frustrating to me is that it WAS a pretty good offseason, and they left themselves just one major hole short that would have made it a really good offseason. That makes no sense. Why go most of the way? When Fowler was obviously so affordable? That does piss me off.

Seeing Coghlan go for so cheap makes me think they're targeting someone specifically. Ethier remains the likely target, IMO

 

Or could it be the fact that they are truly done?

 

I really don't know at this point but what I do know is they have officially pissed me off.

Not based off of what Hahn said today

Rick Hahn on @ESPN1000: "I fully expect that we'll make another move for 2016. But, until it happens you never know if it will get done."

Voice of reason. Everything in this post is 100% true.

Could be, but I doubt that. Everything that Hahn has said is that they are still looking for an upgrade.

On the other side of the coin, if Theo is going to give Coughlan away, why would he give him to the White Sox instead of a team like Oakland?

 

BTW, I don't think Coughlan is very good. It doesn't bother me they didn't trade for him.

 

Coghlan isn't great, but he would have easily been 4th best offensive player on the Sox last year (including Frazier)

That's telling. For him to say he expects it, there has to be something very close.

I guess I mean an impact move, not a Victorino type move.

 

I fully expect some s*** move to say they did something but more speaking about a real positive WAR starter.

They're going to get Ethier before March 23rd.

If we get an upgrade in the outfield before the start of the season, this is still a really good off season. If we don't get an OF, then this off season is confusing and wasting another year of the core.

 

Indeed.

 

I, as well as others in this thread, don't mind not signing Fowler in particular.

Just, please, do something...
