He’s a fourth outfielder at best but more than likely a AAAA player. I like him for our 26th man next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moan4Yoan Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 (edited) So what do you guys think? I am now all aboard the Grandal train. $60 to $75 million? Who cares? He will earn his money more than a $150+ million dollar starter. Who can we get at DH or RF that will do this? Grandal and McCann would be an amazing catching duo and would allow Collins to get a game a week at catcher, as well as allow Collins / Grandal / Abreu / McCann to alternate at DH.

Chicago White Sox Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 16 minutes ago, Moan4Yoan said: Sign Grandal and a RF. I’m pretty sure the Sox already know Collins is a primary DH/1B and part-time catcher at best. This explains why and how they have used him. Save money on DH by cycling guys through the spot and acquire a good RF. Also, they will then have 2.5 catchers with Grandal, McCann, and Collins. I am liking this idea. Cuz god knows, Hahn will likely sign a bust of a DH if he tries to acquire one. He passed on Nelson Cruz and acquired Alonso. Good god man, he acquired Alonso because he’s Machado’s brother-in-law, not because he thought he’d be better than Cruz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you recall the rumors from last offseason, the Sox were interested in Cruz as well. Hahn chose poorly twice then — thinking Alonso would help in an acquisition of Machado AND passing on Cruz. https://www.nbcsports.com/chicago/white-sox/patrick-corbin-ja-happ-nelson-cruz-reports-link-white-sox-more-free-agents I’n not quite sure how your post forms any sort of defense for Hahn’s offseason decisions. 😯 Edited September 14, 2019 by Moan4Yoan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who can we get at DH or RF that will do this? Joc Pederson will probably fit the bill better than anyone else. He and Grandal would greatly improve the offense. I like Calhoun better than most here especially if money saved on RF is turned into an upgraded starter. Without knowing what Jerry is willing to spend...I have a tendency to be to cheap to buy the Ozuna model. Assuming RH has a budget...pitching has to get the majority of attention. Even modest upgrades at RF & DH is tons of improvement over 2019. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even modest upgrades at RF & DH is tons of improvement over 2019. I totally agree with you on Joc but he will cost assets and we will only have him for one year before he hits free agency. Which is okay, as long as the price for him isn’t high. I disagree with you on Calhoun and think he would be a disaster of a signing. Look at his numbers over the years and try to find when he last put up an .800+ OPS. If a corner outfielder can’t put up an .800+ OPS or play studly defense, stay the hell away from him. And Calhoun isn’t a cheap version of Ozuna. He’s just a mediocre throwaway corner outfielder. There’s a reason the Angels won’t even attempt to re-sign him. Well, the fact that he’s not very good and that they have Jo Adell. Edited September 14, 2019 by Moan4Yoan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldsox Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 Our 5 biggest meatball starters (Santiago, Covey, Santana, Banuelos, Despaigne) have combined for 28 starts. I can't help wondering where Sox would be without the Tommy John disease that infected 3 of our starters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
