justBLAZE Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 If Sox push Danks, who in the minors able to compete for 5th starter job and being competitive in MLB ? NOT counting Rodon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxAce Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 Nice. I think Cabrera is overrated here, but there is no doubt this was the right move. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â In house options, Erik Johnson, Chris Beck, Erik Surkamp? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NOT counting Rodon. Â No one really. Johnson needs to redeem himself after last year and Beck is a huge question mark with little experience above Double-A. Sox would need to acquire a better option IMO, a reclamation project or something of that nature. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago White Sox Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 It's going to be interesting to see what we do with our bench now. We really need two right-handed bats to platoon with LaRoche & Conor. I think Saladino can be Conor's platoon partner if healthy. No idea who they can get to fill-in for LaRoche. Â We also need to a strong defensive OF that can play all three positions. The good news is that guy can be left-handed since Eaton & Melky are both pretty good against LHP. Looks like that spot will come down Danks or Shuck, which I'm cool with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southwest Sider Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 WOW! Signing Melky. I thought it would only happen in a movie. But if it is really just a 3 year contract... HOOORAY! We got a guy to hit lefties and righties alike, and provide adequate defense. I am thoroughly pleased with this move. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BaconOnAStick Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 I'll give Hahn credit for this... he filled every major MLB hole the Sox had with at least a starting caliber guy (in the case of Robertson and Samardzija he went above and beyond) and put us in at least the discussion in the AL. At the same time the farm system has been kept very well in tact and looks to continue its improvement. The Sox got this much better at the big league level and still kept Montas, Anderson and Danish. Â We aren't totally screwed financially either, neither the Robertson nor Cabrera deals break the bank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy the Clown Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 I'm here to eat crow. Melky was my #1 target for the Sox this offseason. After they signed LaRoche, I went scorched earth and criticized Hahn for (in my perception of things) choosing LaRoche over Melky. I had no idea that signing both was possible. Â Kudos to you, Rick Hahn. I'm just going to STFU and watch you work your magic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
