I deleted the thread I made, but these two tweets sum up Heyman's off-season pretty well.

chisox committed to not driving up costs for any free agents so when cba comes around they can shame all the rest.

Whether you want him or not (I don't really want him but it's my choice), where would you play him? I would think 3B.

Well never mind lol

He makes a ton of sense for the Twinkies. That team could could actually win 85 games this year if a good amount of things go their way .

Well nevermind. But I'm good.

Ugh, one of the few signings left that would've at least given me some excitement.  He would've been interesting cuz he plays 7 positions, he could just pivot anywhere if we made a big trade or signed someone.  

 

2 years $21 mil per Heyman.  I would've been all over that.

That was fast.

Would you rather pay 10.5 million for a 30 year old player that plays 7 positions and has a .320 career obp and fluctuating power or 9 million for a first baseman that only had an ops 5 points higher than the other guy?

Tough calls.

2/$21M is a steal.  But Marwin really isn't that good.  Outside of his awesome 2017, he's a pretty meh player.  Valueable in that you can plug him in anwyhere other that CF and C, but his 2018 line of .247/.324/.409 was his 2nd best season in the bigs. 

Honestly and go ahead and kill me let Yolmer play one more year. I think Yolmer had a down year last year. The year he took over for Frazier everybody was high on him. I think Yolmer is a better player than he gets credit for. I'm ok with a .275 15 75 from yolmer

Meh he’s not actually a good hitter and his position flexibility doesn’t involve any premium positions. Don’t see why we would have any interest in him...

You forgot to put Alex Call on a pedestal as well.  :)

Aside from 2017, Marwin seems kinda "meh". 21m is a lot to invest in an older player who isn't a great defender. Looks like his agent did well for him.

I just realized 3 or 4 posters all labeled Marwin as "meh" while I was typing my post calling him "meh" LOL

3rd.  He had a .760 ops year as a 26 year old.

 

This one I'm ok with.

Gonzalez was one of the guys I never wanted. He's better than Yolmer, but not by enough to justify the price it would take to get him.

I'm pretty sure you could plug Delmonico in anywhere on the diamond. That doesn't mean he'd be any good at any of it.

Yep. He makes more sense for the Twins than us.

Would have actually been fine with this deal if not for the draft pick.

In part time duty.  HE only went to the dish 370 times in 2015.  Averaged 528 PA in 16-18.  But yah, his 2015 was marginally better on an OPS basis than his 2018.

There is no draft pick.  Almost positive the Astros did not offer him a QO.
