    It's like someone accidentally forgot to turn a layer off in Photoshop and then made the entire line like that. Absolutely awful. A few of them are cool, but the White Sox one honestly might be the worst of the set

    So dumb.  Black layered on black so you can’t even see the full logo.  Such a stupid design.

    This is almost as bad as the awful microscopic 49ers logo on Shanahan’s hat.

    What were they thinking?

    No. But he is a friend of mine. He didn't kick him, he punched him. AJ took a bounced pitched to the balls. When the trainer came to him to ask him how he feels, AJ punched him and said "like this, what do you think."

    Is it bad that I still think this is hilarious?  If true, it’s so ludicrous it’s almost unbelievable. Who would do this to someone?!?  😂

    Freaking awesome. One Soxtalk jacket coming right up haha 

    Make it ugly, goofy, and old fashioned as hell...  like a Members Only jacket.  People will really notice it then.  😂

    Christ this man can say in 200 words what can be said in 20.  Anybody worth adding will be too good to accept a bench role with a top 20 prospect in MLB at their position already in AAA.

    Eh, none of the guys I listed in my original post are sure-fire starters on many teams.  Maybe the Cubs since they need a 2B?  These guys are more likely to be bench additions than starters once they sign.

    I never thought Puig was going to be a hot commodity but this offseason has been a surprise.  Looks like he could be had for not much other than incentive laced deal.  Maybe our Cuban clique could convince him to get serious about his career.  Nice bench piece with lots of upside at the right price.

    I’d take him if he came cheap but he isn’t a perfect fit because of that clubhouse cancer shadow around him and also he actually has reverse splits and hits righties better than lefties as a righty-handed hitter.  He would be nice corner outfield insurance for injuries to Eloy or Mazara but he’s not a great platoon-mate for Mazara in RF.

    Holt is also 4 years older and missed time last year w a shoulder and  hamstring injury on top of his cornea injury he suffered at home.  He plays 6 positions and is average at each which is a plus. He does not play CF. I assumed Yolmer's higher career WAR is because of his plus defense. Holt is considered a very good clubhouse guy. 

    Rumors in New England are Holt to the Pirates but I would love to see Hahn get him. 

    Age doesn’t matter much when you haven’t shown you can hit.  The Giants gave Yolmer a one year minor league deal.  He’s likely a cheap one year bench bat for them, just like any of these guys.

    I just don't  think there's any reason to bargain hunt. The longer you wait the less likely you are to find the one who truly fits your needs. They are all probably bargains right now. At this point in time anyone hoping to be a starter has little hope.

    I look at Mendick much the way I look at Keuchel,Bumgarner Ryu . Keuchel was the cheapest of the bunch  but you can't say for sure he will be less valuable then the other 2. Mendick is Keuchel . He is likely to be just as valuable as anyone in his limited role. I actually wouldn't be surprised if he is capable of equal WAR as Madrigal. His versatility and willingly to do anything the Sox say to be up with the big club might actually be hurting his chances of being more than he appears to be.

    Of course he might not ever be as impressive as he was during his brief call up too. :P

    I don’t know.  I’d be happy with any of the guys in my list above, other than Kipnis who looks to be done.  I’d be fine waiting until one of these guys accepts a bargain basement offer.
