If that is the team we go with next year then rick Hahn must've gone into a comma during the offseason.

Ugh, sounds like a nightmare with Flowers, Danks and a Viciedo starting next year.

Are there really other realistic options? Who do you want catching, Ryan Doumit?

Leaving aside Viciedo, Jordan Danks and Tyler Flowers, what exactly has Leury Garcia done to justify a place on the bench? He is literally hitting like a pitcher in over 200 PA with the White Sox.

And yet, no mention of Futuresox's preseason #4 prospect. That dude who could be competent at 3+ positions and is OPSing .813 with a babip of .250 in AAA right now.

1. Adam Eaton, CF

2. Marcus Semien, 2B

3. Jose Abreu, 1B

4. Victor Martinez, DH (2 years, $30M)

5. Melky Cabrera, LF (3 years, $39M)

6. Avisail Garcia, RF

7. Conor Gillaspie, 3B

8. Yasmani Grandal, C (acquired for Davidson & Beck)

9. Alexei Ramirez, SS

 

Honestly I like that idea, but I have to wonder if he can be had that cheap. He's hitting like he did just before his PED bust and at only 30 you know some GM will offer him way more. He's actually hitting better away from his home band box in Toronto.

No way am I giving up Montas for Castro. He could be our number 1 pitching prospect as early as next season.

I like all those moves but don't see how the tigers don't keep Martinez. Also I wonder If Grandals career can be resurrected , or was he just highly touted because of the ped? Any way you look at his number they are just awful lol

2. Semien

3. Abreu

4. Vmart DH

5. Avi

6. Gillaspie

7. Lexi

8. De Aza

9. Tyler Flower/Trade (Really think Kendall reups in Pitt leaving the Sox nada in FA)

 

Sierra-Saladino-Nieto/Flowers-?

 

 

1. Sale

2. Q

3. Masterson

4. Danks

5. Noesi

 

Closer- Casey Janssen

Mike Dunn (Trade w/ Marlins for Carlos Sanchez and some lower level guys)

Zach Putnam

Jake Petrika

Ideal (not necessarily realistic) starting lineup.

 

CF - Eaton

SS - Sanchez

1B - Abreu

DH - Martinez (2 years $30M)

LF - Cabrera (4 Years $48M)

RF - Garcia

3B - Gillaspie

2B - Micah

C - Flowers

 

Bench - Phegley, Wilkins, Michael Taylor, Tyler Saladino

 

Trade Alexei to Giants for Clayton Blackburn

 

1 - Sale

2 - Quintanna

3 - Masterson (3 years, $24M)

4 - Danks

5 - Rodon/Beck/Rienzo/E Johnson/Bassit

Agreed. Now that they have Price to replace Scherzer, they can afford to give VMart a bigger contract to stay for a couple years.

I think most GMs will have some caution with Melky because of his prior PED bust, but you're right, it only takes one GM to do something stupid. Probably a bit unrealistic, but maybe he wants to hit free agency one more time at 33? Regardless, he's definitely the type of bat we should be looking to add.
