Cut LaRoche and trade for Reddick, and man, I'd be so pumped for baseball to start.

 

It won't happen but it's fun to dream lol.

 

That is the only way you would be pumped for baseball to start? Don't be so greedy. C, 2B, 3B, OF all improved

Good move, but they still need one more big bat.

We'll see how SS shakes out, but I'm good with Saladino's glove if he's the guy. But yea.. DH with LaRoche and Avi leaves alot to be desired. If the sox are in it, I'm sure Hahn will address that come the trade deadline.

I'm already pumped, I'd just be more pumped haha.

 

Either way, the Sox have improved so much this offseason and I can't wait for season to start.

Does this move take Shuck out of the 4th outfielder position?

 

If Avi is on the team as well, I just can't see the Sox carrying 5 outfielders at the same time.

 

Why not? They kept 3 1B one year. Shuck can serve as a late inning defensive replacement for Cabrera/Garcia.

I have to imagine so. LaRoche is such a wild card

Absolutely wonderful.

 

As others have stated -- this is the move that completes the deal. Trading for Frazier, and acquiring Lawrie were the big moves, but they were insufficient with such large holes in DEF and Avi having a starting gig guranteed.

This move puts the glue together and makes it a complete offseason.

 

While a more effective OF would have been lovely, perhaps that was wishful thinking. Getting Rollins + Jackson instead of Desmond + Fowler is still acceptable and puts us in a position to compete with a solid squad.

 

More work could be done, but now i'm in.

Guess who these lines belong to for 2015?

 

Not a huge difference on offense, especially if one is going down and the other up -- which is possible but by no means certain.

 

But defense is another matter entirely.
