December 11, 20196 yr Just now, ChiSox59 said: $9.1M over three years for Lindbloom. Damnnnnn that is sexy. Is he going to be a reliever
December 11, 20196 yr Great low risk/high reward scenario. If that guy can stick as a #5 that's a hell of a deal.
December 12, 20196 yr Huh? Getting a 24 year old who’s hit 19 or 20 homeruns every year he’s been in the league with OPS and SLG trending upward is despised, but paying $9 million a year for the next three for a guy who’s pitched 10 IP since 2014 is what some people were actually excited about?

Dig a little deeper there, Sir.

It’s $9.125 million for the entire 3 years. The Sox wasted a lot more money than that last offseason on Alonso, Jay, and Santana.

Yeah, I reread and noticed that. My bad. And while our idiotic use of money is indefensible, I still wouldn't go for this.

Lol are you serious

December 12, 20196 yr 38 minutes ago, Eminor3rd said: Lol are you serious Yes, I’m absolutely serious. This dude is 32 and has been total garbage in MLB. The only place he’s produced is Asia. He’s a AAAA player. You might point out that he’s cheap but so is Nomar Mazara. The difference is that Mazara at worst will hit 20 bombs with a mid 700s OPS, pulled down by a weakness against LHP, and at best could blossom into his full potential. Lindblom isn’t going to do that. This guy is what he is. Soxtalk has weird fetishes and dislikes.

You’ve got a shockingly strong opinion of Josh Lindblom for someone who appears to know nothing about Josh limblom. Weird how Mazara could “blossom to his full potential” But lindblom couldn’t possibly have gotten any better in the three years since the stats you’re referencing.

He’s never been successful in MLB. Mazara is 24 and has 79 homeruns.

It's like you've never heard of Miles Mikolas of the Nippon Professional Baseball, or Eric Thames, also from the Korean Baseball Organization.

It’s cool he has 79 HRs by the age of 24, but he legit sucks at everything else. And honestly, 20 HRs isn’t good for a corner OF in the juiced ball era.

A crappy defensive right fielder who can’t OPS over .800 blows, and he hasn’t done that once in four seasons. 35 year old Brett freaking Gardner put up an .829 OPS last season.

December 13, 20196 yr It's absolutely crazy how Kopech TJS and now missing on Wheeler has pushed the rebuild back 1 1/2 or 2 full seasons from what we had to jump start this with...

Go find a strong bench bat for him to platoon with (no Engel please).
