I would have been ok signing him and plugging him in at 3B for a couple of years but oh well. Edited February 22, 20197 yr by soxfan2014

February 22, 20197 yr I think that's a pretty good deal for the Twins. I would have considered going a little bit higher just to try to make it harder for them to get to the playoffs this year.

February 22, 20197 yr I am not convinced that the next 2 years of Marwin Gonzalez are going to be better than the next 2 years of Jose Rondon. And not because I think Rondon is all that good.

I hope they try to turn Rondon into a utilityman. We know he can cover the IF spots, but he was supposed to play OF in winterball and played very little. I know Renteria mentioned it again that they're going to give him some reps in the OF in ST...hopefully it works out.

February 22, 20197 yr I can't lament not signing this guy. His best use is as a utility player; I think Yolmer would be a good player if used as such and properly platoone. Leury can play every position except for pitcher and catcher.

That last thought perfectly encapsulates typical White Sox organizational strategy...Teahen at second or in the outfield? Josh Fields in LF? Viciedo In LF and RF and 3B and 1B and DH? It just MIGHT work. Or it might not. Well, we tried...so at least we’re “outside the box” thinkers. No, you’re just terrible at identifying and developing talent.

No, you’re just terrible at identifying and developing talent. Sure, but adding flexibility to a young guy that’s at least a little interesting and out of options isn’t a bad idea.

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. Marwin: 104 wRC+, plays 7 positions, $10.5M Alonso: 97 wRC+, plays 1 position, $8M ?
