Why would they bring him back? Makes absolutely no sense with all these solid prospects and some of the current guys needing at bats. Could somebody answer why you would accept Melky coming back when we have plenty of outfielders who could get MLB at bats in a season where we are tanking again? All you people who don't want to spend any money at all. Why the hell would you give Melky a contract that would keep him in Chicago 2-3 more years. I'd love to hear from anybody who thinks this is a good idea. Now if you say you want Melky so we can keep losing ... uh, we have plenty of hitters in the minors who could play the outifield next year to help us keep losing. I'm totally baffled and mad when I think about this Melky thing. New age Sox fans who worship the advanced stats just floor me. Sorry for my anger but Melky coming back makes NO sense to me at all. It makes no sense if you want to win; it makes no sense if you want to tank some more. Edited September 10, 2017 by greg775 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's possible we bring Melky back in GM speak is translated to this: It's also possible the world ends tomorrow.or if he signs for really cheap .

Dick Allen Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 (edited) As to Melky, a Melky fan wanted him back. I was anticipating Hahn shutting the door, but he did say it was possible, mentioned his popularity and thought he could be a good guy for young players to learn from, even though he later said it may not be a fit. I think it would require a real team friendly deal. If Melky got a legit offer elsewhere, they aren't going to match it from the sounds of it. The Sox will get a boon to their September attendance next year as the Cubs visit Sept 21-23.

flavum Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 (edited) I've read the full schedule is out tomorrow. MLB usually just does it abruptly. If not tomorrow, I'm expecting it to be Wednesday around 11-12. That would be in line with last year.

Chris Volstad has pretty much won the lottery to be on a major league roster right now. He is awful and will not be on the White Sox roster in 2018.
