Buehrle>Wood

Theres no time manipulation once he signs.

Jose beast mode this spring

Our bullpen could be top 5 in MLB.

That actually ended up being a decent amount of money.

"Only" 36 per year. Well worth it.

Per ESPN

Pretty simple and nothing to do with total wins. We needed a someone who could lead off, someone with a decent OBP, and he had to play CFer as it's the only spot where no one would be blocking anyone of even remote relevance. Jay checks every box there. The fact that hes a stop gap doesnt hurt as we do have some interesting CF prospects, just not now. If Adam Engel is your every day CFer, Renteria is not batting him leadoff. Moncada and Anderson hit lead-off in 135 games last year....something they should never be doing basically (Anderson especially) and wont be on the next successful team. Jay relieves that and places two of our more developmental players into more proper roles. If we spent a million or two too much on him, who cares? We weren't spending that money anyways. The more egregious overpays were pretty much everyone else added. No one should care about that kind of money or the blocking of Adam Engel

Yep. Going to post for the 50th time this offseason that Jay is a nice fit for this team regardless of everything elss.

Eloy is a lame pick.

Anderson needs to be up there. Abreu and Moncada were my other 2.

Underwood really should be fired if money wasnt a thing.

The mid 00 White Sox were probably the cleanest team in the league in terms of guys caught or even suspected PED cheaters. Obviously they had some but everyone did.

I have wonder if we sent him down early for not signing his contract.

Jon Jay is a nice fit on this team regardless of the reasons he was signed for and I will keep reiterating that until its accepted as fact.

Reports during negotiations said Machado did not want to go out west. Of course 50 extra million can convince people a lot of things. If money was equal I have 0 doubt hed be here.

Damn eloy got cut early

Incoming major shoulder surgery as reported 2 weeks from now

Same. I'd definitely take Jay at 4 mil over Jones at 3.

It was a really awesome ppv.

For sure. You would just think one of the most veteran minor leaguers in the system who could conceivably see roster time this year make the final 58 players. That's a rough look.

They really dont like Jordan Guerrero

Narvaez literally could not catch the ball though. He could not be trusted to handle a younger pitching staff.

Yeah. Imagine having to at least partially live in Philadelphia the next 13 years

He was historically unlucky last year with regards to called strikes against him. We'll see if things can turn around.

It's not. It's correct. Having this perfect insight into how this organization actually thinks is fascinating. Not for the right reasons, but still, it's great.
