November 4, 20214 yr 9 minutes ago, fathom said: He was absolutely horrible against RHP He's obviously a guy you need to pair with a LH hitting partner, which we don't have, hence why i suggested he's a poor fit for the roster. That said, he is a veteran, does still hit LHP, and last season did show us the importance of OF depth.

November 4, 20214 yr 8 minutes ago, Balta1701 said: He would have been 2nd on the 2021 White Sox in home runs. So we should just ignore his weak hitting against righties? And he would not have been 2nd if Eloy and Robert didn't get hurt. I mean he is fine as a last ish resort but we need to aim higher. Unless of course we bring in a very good infielder.

I mean he is fine as a last ish resort but we need to aim higher. Unless of course we bring in a very good infielder. You ignored his > 1.000 OPs against lefties and insisted he “doesn’t hit at all”. If you’re going to be hyperbolic then you can’t get annoyed if people call you out for it.
November 4, 20214 yr McCutchen is fine if we get some like Semien at 2B. Stick him in the bottom third of the order and let him walk ~80 times and hit 20-25 bombs.

If we got Semien wouldn't just playing Vaughn, Sheets, or Engel (dealer's choice) be better than getting someone like calhoun or Mccuthchen? I mean get someon good or stay with what we got.

November 4, 20214 yr I'm good passing on Cutch, the power might still be there but he is about to turn 35 and just put in one of his worst offensive seasons. Younger please
November 4, 20214 yr 58 minutes ago, Balta1701 said: The 2021 season should have been a lesson on the importance of outfield depth. funny referencing eaton money and depth and a 35 year old outfielder
November 4, 20214 yr No more old guys years past their prime with no upside. Sadly, these are exactly the type of guys new White Sox GM Dave Stewart will be pursuing, back by statistics from Shelley Duncan and that Veterinarian guy.
