Chicago White Sox Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 Alright, so now that we’re all back on the two whale bandwagon, what would your lineup look like if we landed both of them? Here’s mine: Moncada, 2B Machado, 3B Harper, RF Abreu, DH Jimenez, LF Alonso, 1B Castillo, C Jay, CF Anderson, SS 6 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vote4Pedro Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 Not falling for any of this garbage again, i firmly believe the Sox are the favorites to land Machado based on the obvious....Jay, Alonso, his Rawlings glove, hectors consistent reporting....manny can meet whoever he wants and that’s okay, the only way we lose him if some team blows him away with an offer he can’t turn down and the Sox won’t match it 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreenSox Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 1 hour ago, HOFHurt35 said: I think Kopech and Moncada will be fine. Giolito is terrible. But it's only one full season for those guys, Kopech even less. I think that's more of where the angst comes from for Sox fans, seeing the young guys come up and struggle from day one or get hurt coming out of bed. And that's acceptable. But I don't see how Manny fixes that. We'd need 5 Manny Machado's if everyone of these young guys comes up and flops here at the big league level. The key to our success is not going to be to get one of these so called "whales." Player development. Can these young elite prospects meet their ceilings at the big league level? That's my biggest concern. You're right. Machado alone won't turn this bunch into a winner. It will revolve around development and talent evaluation. And given the history in that regard, the org. could really use the jump start of Machado. Plus, there is no one in the pipeline at 3B.

Kpet1010 Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 Hate to be that guy but that j Michael Robertson and mlbinsider already broke the news that San Diego met with machado and made a good push. Which is now coming out. All of the reports are stating they “met” so they weren’t exactly wrong. Just a thought 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe Preller is trying to drive down the price on Moustakis , who must be texting his superagent every 20 minutes. Everybody is playing each other.

Mbs1969 Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 (edited) I’m the most optimistic guy and have no reason not to be but ... no way it’s both. For these reasons: Reinsdorf is trying to build value of franchise for his family and investors. Saddling franchise with both does not do that. And Chris Sale is a FA next year.
