CWSpalehoseCWS 568 Posted November 14, 2020 Just stay away from Cruz. How many old DH-only type players does this organization have to bring here to watch their careers die and fall off a cliff? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How many old DH-only type players does this organization have to bring here to watch their careers die and fall off a cliff? At least one per year man. So for better or worse, we know the Sox are considering a veteran, homer-only type guy. They can’t help themselves. For whatever reason that’s one of their main keys to a championship roster Edited November 14, 2020 by Jerksticks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

YourWhatHurts 325 Posted November 15, 2020 If the Sox are going to trade Madrigal then I don't want them to spend money on Wong. Assuming they won't spend money on LeMahieu or Semien, I would not at all mind Mendick out there. I mean you are talking about swapping a #9 hitter for a #9 hitter. Mendick's a good player and I'm genuinely curious to see if he has a little bit of Whit Merrifield going for him in a starting role. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They must have missed the WS where half of Dodger Stadium was chanting the name of shitty backup catcher Austin Barnes IIRC. And I'm sure they didn't watch any Brewers games. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wong was a 5 WAR player in 2019 and is consistently between 2 and 5 WAR. He’s also a gold glover and lefty. Edited November 15, 2020 by Orlando 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wong's price is probably the difference between a #5 FA SP and a #3/4 FA SP, or the difference between a mediocre MR type vs. a closer type. For what? He's not exactly a great player. Supposedly he's a very good defender but the offensive production has resulted in him being thought of as mostly a bust in his history as a player. I mean he's a career .261/.333/.384 hitter. You don't think Danny is capable of matching or bettering that? I definitely do. Edited November 15, 2020 by YourWhatHurts Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know you’re saying “IF they trade Madrigal”, but maybe this just proves that keeping Madrigal is a super no-brainer? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
