Benintendi isn’t finishing the season on this roster. I’m not even 100% sure he survives the offseason. But I agree that it’s very possible that Braden starts the year in the minors to work on some stuff if we end up adding an everyday OF. It also sounds like they want to utilize Antonacci move in the infield, so he’s unlikely to be getting full time reps in LF.

Also, Vikings defense is insane. Cousins is at least serviceable. That D will take them far.

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?
