If you’re adding a legit every day OF, that wouldn’t push Braden to bench against just lefties. It would maybe push him to the bench on most days and potentially off the roster for every day at bats in AAA. Less time in the OF for Antonacci also means more bench time, unless they somehow dump Benintendi and can rotate guys through the DH spot.

I really like the way Getz is approaching this offseason. Fix the rotation first, and by doing so, build up some pitching depth that gives you internal options to address the bullpen. If we add two legit SPs, it’s going to create a huge battle for the #5 spot. Martin, Castillo, Kay, Schultz, Sandlin, & Thorpe should all be in the mix and a good chunk of the losers could end up in the bullpen. Honestly, I’d be ok entering the season with a bullpen consisting of four of the guys above plus Hicks, Hagen, Hudson, & Brazoban. Obviously adding another high leverage arm would be ideal, but I’m ok prioritizing other areas first. And one of those areas is the OF. I am actually fascinated to see what Getz does here. Sounds like the plan is to add a legit everyday corner OF that can either push Braden to the bench against LHP or limit Antonacci’s time in LF. The challenge is there aren’t many options in free agency and the two big OF bats are going to get paid like crazy and cost us a pick. The trade front seems far more likely here although I don’t have any specific ideas off the top of my mind. Regardless, I love that Getz is planning to proactively address an area with some uncertainty and not just assume everything will work out like Hahn used to.

Stay away. I’d rather bring back Fedde

Its the place to go for news

I do appreciate the twitter updates. If that’s all twitter was about it might be worth having.

No. He’s this offseason’s version of Bartolo’s Colonoscopy and the food accounts.

The fact he thinks it’s even conceivable for white sox fans to not freak out makes me not trust him.

Has he said anything that has ended up happening?

This guy out of the blue this year.

Bowden so take with grain of salt

Sounds good to me. Add 2 and sign a closer and lets roll.

THis is the way.

Go out and sign 2 off them and be set for the next 3 years

I think you protect Bergolla. Assuming health, he could easily stick on a big league roster for a rebuilding team. I don’t think any of the other guys would get taken.

We do this dance every year. We get high on our on supply and turn these guys into something they aren't. No one is picking LaCombe.

I'd be just be shocked if a Rule 5 Draft actually happens.

Dumbass. When will players learn?

Paging Lamar Houston….

I don’t think Vasil will be ready by opening day (assuming the current start date to season) so I definitely would like to add one. A non-QO guy like Iglesias preferably.

Yeah I’d like for them to at least add another righty arm to the pen. I guess Berroa and Vasil could help, but I’d rather not count on it and be pleasantly surprised if they come back strong. To be honest, I’d rather just leave Taylor in the pen. I’m skeptical of his body holding up, and even if it does his fastball is very hittable when it isn’t maxed out 98+

I don’t mind them trying it out. I more mind the comments about not wanting to add a high leverage reliever or whatever the quote was. Because I definitely think it’s dumb to not add a closer when you’re in your competitive window.
