I can just picture the OF defense lol

Unless we play him at DH and run out Sheets/Vaughn in the OF? (Still not ideal for OF D).

 

Just throwing that out there as I dont see us signing him.

No chance

This is the big thing for me. While his bat would obviously be welcomed in the lineup (handedness be damned), we all know that improving the defense is important too, and Castellanos is not going to help out in that regard one bit. 

Didn’t need another right handed dh last time he was available, don’t need one this time either.

Castelleanos would be one of the Sox better hitters. That said, barring some shakeup trades like unexpectedly moving Vaughn and Shields, they can't bring in another right handed OF/DH type that sucks at defense.

You could probably hide him in left with acceptable results, but that would pretty much entail trading Eloy. Considering performance/cost efficiency over 4-5 years and still not addressing the RF problem - not all that appealing an option.
 

Castellaons for DH, Starling Marte for LF, Vaughn traded for young starting pitcher?

Eloy? Grandal? Is Who in right?

Sorry - meant Marte in RF not left. Grandal is fine.

Starling Marte to RF, Castellanos split DH and LF with Eloy.

Double plus good.

I don’t want another DH unless some major trades are made to remake the team.

I don't doubt that he can play Right, but S. Marte has never played the position. He's been Left-Center-DH his entire career. It still begs the question of what to do with Grandal, who I doubt will catch 100 games next year. The point being that if you're bringing in Castellanos you pretty much have to trade Eloy, unless you're willing to tolerate an outfield of Eloy-Robert-Castellanos. Not exactly a Pitcher's dream of an outfield. IMO, in something resembling reality, bringing in S. Marte would be the option over Castellanos. Eloy's jug-headedness in the field really complicates the Fantasy alignment of Sox player positioning.

Which should 1000% be on the table if they’re not going to spend money on fixing 2B or SP 

Not in the market for more concrete gloves. 

Honestly, I wouldn’t be that surprised. He sure fits the bill of a guy the Sox have traditionally liked. But I hope they’re smarter than that - he’s an awful fit. 

That all said, if they signed him I’d certainly love the guy and get behind the team. But I know it’s not an optimal move by any stretch. 

PASS.........we need defense not another DH.

Marte is the answer, but the Sox won't sign anyone longer than 2 years and Marte already turned down 3 for $30

The Cubs will sign him long term and pray the DH comes to the NL but will use him in the outfield also until they find a better option.

He might be tempted by 3 for $40-45.
