Exactly. Conveniently ignored while he cherry picks signings with no context. Silly analysis.

I've made my position on Sheets no secret. He should be a depth piece. Vaughn primariy LF, with Eloy sprinkled in. Eloy primary DH. Sign Conforto to play RF. Sheets is depth. Not complicated. Conforto is a much much much much better fit than Schwarber who we could just add to the pile of guys who are best suited to DH.

Can’t argue with that. Offseason isn’t over tho and the best fit is still out there.

Yeah. Eloy. And Sheets.

I’m glad the Sox didn’t sign Schwarber. We don’t need another DH.

I see things are a lot more chipper in here this am.

He was what, 2 innings over last year? They won’t allow it to vest.

We also have a pretty darn good catcher who was a fantastic signing

Ahhhh. Back to the listening to random Twitter account stage of the offseason. At least it’s better than lockout talk.

I do believe fathom is just fucking around.

Yeah I mean that’s still 2 long years away for most of those guys. 3 for TA. Pito is going nowhere, which is fine so long as they don’t overpay.

He has to throw an awful lot of innings before that even becomes a consideration. There is no chance they’ll allow the option to vest. He’ll be released if need be.

Agreed. It’s been really tough to understand what exactly they’re trying to accomplish.

He won’t be, don’t worry. Just Jack being Jack.

Newsflash: the Sox never have and never will be the Dodgers. The Sox offense IS stacked. Could they use a RF? Heck ya. Was Harrison an ideal add? Nah, not at all. Team is still really good.

Vaughn was a perfectly acceptable LF. It should be his position until he proves he can’t play it.

Where did you see the 23 option is $5.5M?

I find this annoying as well. Its $4M. ITs only $5.5M if hes bought out. I don't know the terms of the 23 option as I don't believe its been made public, but its probably $5-6M.

Do you have a link to his commetns?

Agreed. I personally always expected a meh 2B addition. I would have gone with someone else, but I am with you, finish the job and Harrison is a fine 2B batting in the 9 hole. At least he's a solid defender.

Its not even a platoon tho. If you're going to platoon Leury with someone, get a guy like Brad Miller who compliments Leury. Leury should play against LHP, and while Harrison's splits are relatively even, its not like he excels against RHP. Puzzling.

You know I agree. I don't want Castellanos at all. But he's far far far far better than nothing or someone like Joc.

Definitely agree here. Isn't it theoretically possible Harrison was just a bench add and we don't see the overall picture yet? Mendick sucks and shouldn't be on an MLB roster and Romy definitely can still go to AAA. A bench of Leury, Engel, Harrison and any catcher not named Collins is pretty good. The Sox are paying Harrison $4m in 22, not some huge sum - they could definitely still have something larger planned there, even if it looks unlikely right now.

Any OF that regularly includes 2 of Eloy, Vaughn, Sheets and Castellanos would likely be the worst in the league, even with a potential GG in CF (tho Robert was far from that in 21). If the Sox sign Castellanos, I will be happy. But Conforto is an all around better option for team weaknesses, and he's an average RF. Conforto will also very likely be cheaper.

Right!? Tweets are usually what I am scrolling for, not over. The rest is just primarily the same 4-5 negative nancies telling us all why we should be extremely pessimistic about all things White Sox related.
