May 20, 20178 yr QUOTE (Scoots @ May 20, 2017 -> 02:07 PM) Potential 2020 Lineup: CF Robert SS Anderson 1B Abreu RF Avi 2B Moncada DH/3B Davidson 3B/DH (Free Agent?) C Collins LF Tilson That's an exciting lineup, with the assumption that Tilson is healthy and can actually hit, actually, a lot of this lineup has assumptions lol. One possible alteration, if we have a lot of faith in Yolmer and if he stays hot at the plate, maybe move Moncada to 3B and have Yolmer play 2B, with Davidson DHing. If Abreu is still playing 1B and Tilson and Davidson are in the starting lineup in 2020, this rebuild will have been a disaster.

OR DH Abreu and put Davidson at 1B, or find a free agent 1B and DH Abreu. I think we were all spoiled with Konerko's defense over there at first. SS - Anderson 2B - Moncada C - Collins DH - Abreu CF - Rutherford 1B - Beer 3B - Machado LF - Robert RF - A. Garcia
May 20, 20178 yr QUOTE (flavum @ May 20, 2017 -> 08:11 PM) Tilson and Davidson will be long gone by 2020. Sorry. Not a big deal but Leury is doing things Tilson could never do
May 20, 20178 yr QUOTE (hi8is @ May 20, 2017 -> 02:35 PM) Deals for Q, Robertson, + will sure add more confidence and filler by 2018. Draft strong again next month... tank this year for a high draft slot next year... Gotta love it. This is where my heart is at combined with the pipe dream of landing Machado when he becomes a FA.
May 20, 20178 yr QUOTE (fathom @ May 20, 2017 -> 03:13 PM) Not a big deal but Leury is doing things Tilson could never do Such as stay on the field for multiple innings?
May 20, 20178 yr QUOTE (turnin' two @ May 20, 2017 -> 09:14 PM) Such as stay on the field for multiple innings? Cruel but funny
May 20, 20178 yr QUOTE (bmags @ May 20, 2017 -> 02:54 PM) Let's just give it to him and move on. The 2019 Sox will have some serious speed. Not to be funny but that would be a dream team for Ozzie. Would be awesome to see Moncada, Robert, Anderson and Basabe in the same lineup. There's potential speed contributions from Leury, May and Engel as bench players too. So glad the Sox have moved on from the station to station lineups from years past.
May 20, 20178 yr QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ May 20, 2017 -> 01:08 PM) Fixed it for you Trade Beer and Garcia's position but other than that... it's a pie in the sky dream. Even if you replace Machado for Donaldson, A+. Kopech, Giolito, Fulmer, Lopez, Dunning, Stephens, Hansen, Burdi, and more from trades. Also cheap roster so you've got the ability to sign a FA frontline SP vet.
May 20, 20178 yr QUOTE (turnin' two @ May 20, 2017 -> 01:14 PM) Such as stay on the field for multiple innings? Or not "catch" a ball with his face?
May 20, 20178 yr QUOTE (flavum @ May 20, 2017 -> 09:19 PM) Percentage chance he's test driving cars right now? Twinkie sales gonna go up in North Carolina?
May 20, 20178 yr QUOTE (steveno89 @ May 20, 2017 -> 03:06 PM) Add in a quality priest at #11 overall next month and we are well on our way into this rebuild. I have to give the front office credit for working hard to turn this around quickly. Please, somehow let that prospect be Haseley! I don't expect it to happen but I didn't think Robert would so what the heck.
May 20, 20178 yr QUOTE (hi8is @ May 20, 2017 -> 07:52 PM) Ok... so... Moncada cost for White Sox = 0 Sale contract off books for White Sox = -38m Kopech cost for White Sox = -1.5m Robert cost for White Sox = ~45m Sale + 6.5m = Moncada ( 0 ), Robert ( 0 ), Kopech, Basabe, Diaz All I'm saying is that the Sale deal positioned us for this and it should be accounted for when evaluating the deal in the next few years. This is an absolutely terrible way to look at this. The Sale deal has nothing to do with this signing.
May 20, 20178 yr Kind of reminds me of Iguchi in that I really feel the fans kind of willed this one on by being so in tune with it. I wavered big this morning but one reason I thought Jerry would spend big was he already proved his point with new CBA. After doing the model citizen approach to help influence cost control rules we have seen Sox bend a bit more (Rodon signing)
May 20, 20178 yr Scouting reports in the FutureSox article with videos, if you want to see it (also a separate thread).
May 20, 20178 yr The newest member of the White Sox played in Cuba’s 16-and-under league at the age of 14 and began playing in the 18-and-under league as a 15-year-old. https://www.fanragsports.com/mlb/white-sox/..._medium=twitter
May 20, 20178 yr QUOTE (fathom @ May 20, 2017 -> 03:17 PM) Kinda stunning that after all of this, the IG hat might have been a major clue I was really confident when he started following White Sox fan accounts yesterday.
May 20, 20178 yr Is the rebuild still fake now?? At least this signing should stop that nonsense from being uttered out any further.
