Squirmin' for Yermin

Donaldson >> Than any White Sox edition this offseason. He's a fantastic player.. The goal is that in years 3-4 he hurts them. But he makes them better next year for sure. It just hurts our chances in 2020.

You broke the rules! now im sad..

I am personally fine with Garcia as the platoon mate with Mazara. I also am a pretty big fan of Mendick so I am fine with him for 3 weeks before Madrigal comes up. My choice would be for a Relief pitcher/swing man. I'd love doing a buy low on Pedro Strop OR even trying Tijuan Walker as a swing man. Put him in the bullpen but can also start in a pinch.

If you had one final spot to fill (max 5 million) what would you do and who would you grab? 1. Right Fielder (platoon for Mazara) 2. Second baseman 3. Relief Pitcher 4. Other Also include a name if you'd like!

Madrigal 6 years 24 million. 2 club options for 10 million each. Boom. Who says no?

Yeah, there's really no logical way you can defend that Abreu contract..

I'm saying if you take OUT his amazing two month stretch (fluke maybe?).. Is he really worth more than Calhoun? I'm just speaking as GMs proabably are.. Clearly there's a disconnect in his market from what he thinks hes worth and what GMs will pay.. I'm assuming no one wants to pay for that potential 2 month fluke.

Robert the #1 OF prospect. FV - 65.. I still think it's insane that Robert is a full grade below Franco STILL.. Franco the only 70. I get hes crazy young and been awesome.. But he should not be in a tier alone.

White Sox will never outpace the fanbase of the Cubs.. Just won't happen.

Before his past 2 months with the Cubs... was castellanos more than a 8 million player? I think he has no market.. He's probably valuing himself as a 20 million and now hoping to get 15 and no one is biting.

I will predict Covey goes to the KBO.

Castellanos on a one year deal does not hurt flexibility for multiple years.. lol

please please please

I reallllllly like the idea of Mazara in RF as our 8 hitter right now... HOWEVER, if Castellanos wanted to try a 1 year-15 million "prove it" deal, then I would be fine punting on the Mazara experiment.

I agree.

Why would someone claim him?

Wow, they almost never hit the ball on the ground this game. I think I counted 2 ground outs? Not including the bunt..

He's a terrible offensive player.. He will get the vet minimum somewhere and that's probably what he deserves.

Sorry, I was slacking. Someone created a new thread for just 2B. Must not have seen this one so I didn't post it.

If he isn't getting 15 million a year offers right now he needs to take a one year deal.. Though if he has a Tigers-esque year next year, then he won't be a 15 million a year player.

He's been right on a lot of things. I 100% trust him. IDK how you couldn't believe he has real sources at this point.

FIRST BASE: 1. ANDREW VAUGHN 2. Evan White 3. Ryan Mountcastle 4. Triston Casas 5. Seth Beer 6. Bobby Bradley 7. Brent Rooker 8. Grant Lavigne 9. Michael Toglia 10. Lewin Diaz Rough group.

Holy shit.. I expect all 4.. But not Kopech and Madrigal that high... How is Bowden viewed?

A lot of those names would be realistic and cheap options... Flores (rather give Mendick a shot), Pillar, Knitzer and Strop all interest me a lot.

CATCHERS: 1. Adley Rutschman 2. Joey Bart 3. Sean Murphy 4. Luis Campusano 5. Francisco Alvarez 6. Shea Langeliers 7. Keibert Ruiz 8. Sam Huff 9. Dalton Varsho 10. Miguel Amaya Man I have been a massive fan of Varsho... That dude can do everything. No Collins, but Catchers are deep. I'd assume he'd be in the 10-15 range.
