Jose Abreu Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Nov 29, 2014 -> 11:07 AM) Exactly, that's the question. Maybe his girlfriend broke up with him, maybe his car broke down, maybe he overcooked his pizza. Like another posted already mentioned, it could be another Marquis Teague situation. I leave you with this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is also a guy who has had a frustrating return from injury, could be another set back there too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamhock Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 (edited) He just tweeted again: Surroundings captured and harnessed to put fourth powerful knowledge collected thru-out experience to gain success #Living #Learn #Trust So my guesses are either he's attending terrible positive-image seminars, or that he's in the midst of a peyote-fueled vision quest.

daggins Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 WSD thinks he may have been non-tendered which, if true, would be kind of shocking. Either they are freeing up payroll for a major FA or they are clearing payroll for a rebuild. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's 5 million when you're going for it? 5 mil per year could be the difference between a bat like EE and settling for Beltran (or worse), for one thing. If JR has set a financial ceiling then 5 mil is a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hatchetman Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 To me that's a move if you are tanking. You don't just release a guy who can be average at 3B or 2B and doesn't make that much money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's young and cheap enough to be inconsequential and a lottery ticket to flip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daggins Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 (edited) 1. Not a great look for the Sox if any of the orthotics stuff is true, to then non-tender the guy after a tough recovery. 2. I'm not necessarily against it, in a vacuum, but I wasn't against the Flowers NT at the time, and that was a disaster. Please do better Rick.

Tnetennba Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 I would imagine that Lawrie would bring something back in a trade, even if mere org fodder. If Lawrie were non-tendered, the FO must know that Saladino will be fine by spring training. Or is ok handing the reigns to Sanchez. What I want to know is where is the Avisail Garcia non-tender?!

caulfield12 Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 Stubborn. Avi Garcia was the centerpiece of a trade that was supposed to be one the keys to revitalizing the White Sox with young hitting talent. Lawrie was more of a flier with potential upside. But, as with Beckham and Viciedo, they'll have to cut bait on him eventually. He doesn't have the numbers to be a full time DH, which is the only spot on the roster suitable for him.
