Squirmin' for Yermin Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 If you had one final spot to fill (max 5 million) what would you do and who would you grab? 1. Right Fielder (platoon for Mazara) 2. Second baseman 3. Relief Pitcher 4. Other Also include a name if you'd like! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squirmin' for Yermin Posted January 24, 2020 Author Share Posted January 24, 2020 I am personally fine with Garcia as the platoon mate with Mazara. I also am a pretty big fan of Mendick so I am fine with him for 3 weeks before Madrigal comes up. My choice would be for a Relief pitcher/swing man. I'd love doing a buy low on Pedro Strop OR even trying Tijuan Walker as a swing man. Put him in the bullpen but can also start in a pinch. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moan4Yoan Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 I’d see if Zobrist would take a 1-year, $3 million dollar deal and Pedro Strop would take a 1-year, $2 million dollar deal. Zobrist can play both 2B and platoon with Mazara in RF. Strop would add another option to the bullpen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiSox59 Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 1. Ben Zobrist 2. Brock Holt 3. Brad Miller 4. Kevin Pillar 5. Steven Souza 6. Hunter Pence 7. Scotter Gennett 8. Derek Dietrich 9. Yolmer Sanchez 10. Brian Dozier 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wegner Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 Collin McHugh (he made $5 million last year and it is getting later in the offseason so maybe we could grab him for that amount) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colinski Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 Defo Collin McHugh at its not even close for me. Currently if a starter gets injured in the second inning or get shelled who pitches ? I hate using an entire pen to get though a game, he could also spot start. I’ll be banging the drum (bin 🤭) for this one until opening day. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
he gone. Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 Give me all the shares of Scooter Gennett is he costs $5mm. He can give you shares at 2B. He's also played a few games in the OF in his career. To me a Zobrist has no upside, Gennett does. Gennett can bounce around your diamond like a poor mans Zobrist defensively, but has the upside with the bat. If not him, then give me a high upside pitcher opportunity ala Walker or a couple high upside guys for even less money. Bucholz types. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not against McHugh by any means, but Dunning, Lambert, Flores and even Steiever could all take starts in the 2nd half if the need arose.

lane Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 1. Yolmer Sanchez, for having the highest three year bWAR of remaining FA batters. 2. Tim Beckham, for his pharmaceutical expertise. 3. Addison Russell, for his exemplary treatment of the fairer sex. 4. Yonder Alonso, because Alex Call had to have been worth something, dammit. 5. Pedro Strop, because washed up Cubs are always fun! Jokes aside, let's buy low on Taijuan Walker. He's only 27. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know they want to play service time games with Kopech, but he's going to be 19 months removed from Tommy John by the start of the season. He should be ready if needed as well.

Only because I think you may be able to sign Zobrist cheaper than that. He is 38 and coming off of a bad season. Jose Iglesias was better and only received 1/$3 million with a mutual option of $3 million for 2021.

Bob Sacamano Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 Hunter Pence to platoon in RF and get at bats in LF or DH if Eloy, Abreu, or EE goes down for any amount of time. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tnetennba Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 As the roster stands today, the biggest need IMO is a backup SS/3B capable of adequate D if or when a starter needs an IL stint. RF platoon, pen arms, 4th OF will probably all come internally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giolito, Keuchel, Lopez, Cease, Gonzalez, Kopech.....Rodon sometime mid summer, and Dunning, Lambert, Flores and even Steiever as mentioned also should be 2nd half options if need be.

ChiSox59 Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 (edited) Meant to quote Southwallace: I don't disagree here at all, which is why I have Brad Miller so high on my list. He makes a lot of sense. Sox are pretty thin on the left side of the IF if there is an injury. Sure Mendick and Leury could fill in in a pinch there, but I don't think the Sox are super excited about him being option 2 at both 3B and SS.

35thstreetswarm Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 I'd hire like 30 new Chevy Pride Crew members (build on a strength--can never have too many), then buy a bunch of old people to sit at the top of the lower-bowl aisles, like at Wrigley, maybe dress them in funny/adorable costumes. Bring Wally the White Sox Wolf out of retirement as a backup mascot and call it an offseason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
