ChiSox59 Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Jan 18, 2017 -> 04:14 PM) Without Q, we are looking at a rotation of: Rodon Shields Gonzalez (maybe he can get flipped mid-season) Holland One of Covey, Beck, or other Starting lineup would be: C Narvaez, Soto 1B Abreu (could be traded but seems unlikely) 2B Lawrie, Moncada second half unless he is doing terrible at AAA 3B Frazier (could be traded mid-season) SS Anderson LF Melky (could be traded mid-season) CF Tilson, Liriano RF Garcia, Liriano DH Davidson? Garcia or probably more likely a late MLB signing (Carter, Lind, Alvarez) Pretty much. yah. Hopefully Saladino gets a good chunk of ABs as well.

I would like him at 2B, personally. Edit: don't think it was posted here but a writer on mlb.com (I think it was) listed Saladino as a good trade option at 2B for the Dodgers referencing his WAR and defense.

flavum Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 I don't care about Beer right now. My hope is the Sox make quality trades to the point where they have the worst AL record in 2017 with a losing interleague record. If that means they draft 2-5 in 2018, so be it.

You have reasonable expectations. The key to future success may or not be one guy (probably not), but we know for sure the way to maximize future success is to add talent through the draft. Right now, that will likely take one or two losing seasons and some strong draft selections. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're apparently close to dealing away Dan Straily who was solid for them last year. Had him on my fantasy team a few times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well the outfield corners are $7 Mon-Sat and $5 on Sundays. They also open the 100 level if attendance is under 25,000 so I basically took advantage of that whenever I had to pay for games. Nothing beats paying $7 and sitting behind the dugout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dam8610 Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jan 18, 2017 -> 08:31 AM) I remember the halcyon days of late 2013 when it became clear the White Sox would get the #3 pick and not the #1 pick and how badly they screwed up by costing themselves the chance at the clear #1 pick, Carlos Rodon. It's not good to count on the teams in front of you to be stupid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I argued the Cubs were lucky Houston picked Appel before Bryant. I was told Appel was the clear #1 choice. Beer might be a HOFer. We won't know for a while, but those thinking if the Sox tank and get the #1 pick the next 2 seasons, those guys will be the baseball version of Michael and Lebron, and will almost immediately be stars, are probably reaching Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 One thing I will say is that the AL is going to be much better than the NL this year. San Diego is going to be playing against a decent amount of other tanking teams, while the AL doesn't have that many teams in the same boat. These bad teams will play each other on a regular basis.
