SoxAce 3,167 Posted May 3 He would be tied for 6th on the team in walks currently.. I don't know whether to laugh or cry at that stat. He's left handed and he's Moncada's idol. That's literally the only 2 things he has going for him at this point. But hey, if this means less Leury, less Reese McGuire and less Harrison, then fuck it, stick him in the DH spot.

hogan873 982 Posted May 3 How does his money situation work? Obviously no one will trade for him with the money he's owed. So if he ends up just being released, the Mets pay his salary, right? Then a team can sign him? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That team pays only the veteran minimum and the Mets pay the rest. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pujols was traded last year, though I think the Angels paid all but league minimum in that deal so they could get something back for him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tnetennba 3,574 Posted May 3 I would take him for the league minimum. Hard to be worse than our current DH options. Can he play a more passable RF than Sheets? Only half kidding with that last question. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hogan873 982 Posted May 3 He'll be signed by someone for sure. I don't see the Sox doing so, more out of stubbornness and sticking with Harrison, Leury, and Sheets. I don't think he's as bad as his stats are right now, but he's obviously not the guy he used to be. However, even half the guy he used to be would be better than a few of the guys we have now.

caulfield12 4,099 Posted May 3 Pretty much would have to send Sheets down...which isn't out of the realm of possibility at this point. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SCCWS 334 Posted May 3 As I posted yesterday, it is worth a shot for 30 days to see what he can do since hopefully the warmer weather will be coming. My only concern is that he doesn't take away DH at bats from Vaughn. Limited financials involved and a good clubhouse guy. Absolutely worth a shot 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dick Allen 5,594 Posted May 3 2 PED suspensions. 39 years old. Pretty obvious he can't play anymore without the juice, and that's in his mind. It would be taking ABs away from Harrision and Leury, so it makes it somewhat plausible, but chances are this guy is toast. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Want to see a larger sample size from him before considering other options. If nothing else he's very good defensively. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ChiSox59 5,006 Posted May 3 If he could still play passable defense at 2B, I'd take a chance on him for the min. But he can't. I'd give him a milb deal and let him try to get the bat going in Charlotte purely as a depth play. But I wouldn't give him an mlb job right off the bat. Yolbert should get a shot before Cano. That being said, this feels very White Soxy, so I wouldn't be surprised in the slightest. In fact, I mentioned in right away in the roster cuts thread yesterday when the dfa news came out.

That outfielder who came over from the Cards (always hurt) hailing from Hahn's suburban high school might actually be more deserving than Asche. Or AJ Reed, perhaps.
