Simmons, over his career averages 3.73 bWAR per season? Correa is 4.87, Story is 4.45, Semien is 3.18, Seager is 3.04, Baez is 2.95. By bWAR, on a per season basis, he has been bested only by Story and Correa on this list. Now, with that being said he is oldest guy on the list, and has been really pedestrian the last 3 seasons. He obviously won't get near the contract any of the other guys. I just wanted to give his due credit because at the most important defensive position on the field, he is the best defensive player.

LaRussa loves Leury more than Leury's mother does. Nobody cares about Jerry's money. We're complaining about the utter disdain Jerry has for the players. He spends what he has to. He only re-signs his guys if he can get a Scottie Pippen type bargain.

I care about giving bad players little sums of money because it continues to emphasize that this team hasn't changed the way they operate and will continue to invest small sums in bad players instead of investing one bigger sum in a good player.

Ray was my top choice in my "offseason plan", Matz would have been my second choice, upping his deal another $1M-$2M per year to snag him. Gomes was the Bronze medal winner, unless they could get Contreras in a trade (or would serve as Contreras back up by trading Grandal for Gallo). 17 minutes ago, Look at Ray Ray Run said: 3 years for Garcia, my goodness. As long as Tony is alive, Leury is a White Sox.

Maybe we could start a petition demanding your immediate hire.

But then you don't care and criticize people who don't want the Sox to give bad players like Marcus Semien will most likely be when he is 36 or 37, a ton of money.

Evidently the metrics say he is a poor left fielder so I have no clue how that could possibly work in RF. Yep, It was discussed earlier n some thread. CBS sportsline recently had an article about it, suggesting he would be a great DH pickup.

Personally, I don't see any influx of prospects coming from a Kimbrel trade, so I don't know why you would count on that either. I think its likely we will trade for a sp and no we won't empty the farm to do it. Teams need salary relief. Sonny Gray is not going to cost a bevy of prospects, Castillo might. The A's guys vary depending on control left on contract.

November 30, 20214 yr Cubs signed Clint Frazier to one year deal. They could potentially have control of him for 3 years if he does well enough. Edited November 30, 20214 yr by Bob Sacamano
