August 20, 20169 yr Lawrie is actually a couple months younger than Saladino. It is probably a given that at some point he will land on the DL every year, but he has some power and plays so hard. I hope they keep him around for a while
August 20, 20169 yr QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Aug 20, 2016 -> 01:33 PM) Lawrie is actually a couple months younger than Saladino. It is probably a given that at some point he will land on the DL every year, but he has some power and plays so hard. I hope they keep him around for a while So you want a player who is unlikely to be much more than league average and will more than likely miss 30+ games next year? Sounds like a recipe for more mediocrity. And whatever you pay him is likely to be an overpay compared to the similar overall production you could have gotten out of Semien or Saladino at the same position. Of course, we have little choice but to keep trading young position players since JR has been unwilling to pull the trigger on signing a free agent pitcher to a large contract. You can keeping saying we MIGHT have signed Tanaka or MIGHT have signed Shark to an extension, but it doesn't count until it actually happens. Instead, we wind up with half measures like Shields who are then used as the excuse for not adding that big hitter in the middle of the order because they're weighing down payroll...or the excuse that Upton and Gordon have disappointed this year, therefore the only solution is getting lucky dumpster diving for Morneau, who will sign elsewhere in the offseason OR go into the tank when the White Sox overpay a 35+ veteran.
