iWiN4PreP Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 guys, im so mad, like, im not hard to please... we had obvious needs all offseason.. SP, RF, 2B. I'd be happy with 2 out of three. So far 0 out of 3 and we've even gone backwards. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And so, Rick Hahn's ongoing quest to replace The Legend of Nomar Mazara with relief pitchers, 1st basemen, and other odds and ends continues.

Throwing darts against the wall would lead to better outcomes with Kimbrel and Carlos. I don’t understand your question. Do you think paying him $18M this year is the same as paying him $3M last year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know he has his flaws but for real if you aren't going to make a serious offer for any of the legit LH savages on the market, you should at least have a decent contingency plan. They've got nothing new against RHP. Not Miller, not Joc, not Rosario, not even Tony friggin Kemp.

thxfrthmmrs Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 I wanted nothing to do with Joc, but at $6M, I would much rather have him than Leury or Harrison. Smart organizations are making savvy moves. Then you have the White Sox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd rather go with the current platoon than Joc personally. Did the Sox even make an offer to Conforto after refusing his ask of 4 years? Or did Hahn try to get creative with a short term offer?

To be intellectually honest, Pederson is projected for ~1.8 fWAR this season. IOW, even as a platoon RFer, he's worth $6MM, and probably more. Josh Harrison is projected to be worth 0.9 fWAR. He probably won't be worth his $5.5MM contract. Edited March 16, 2022 by Two-Gun Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't make this shit up Yep this is 100000% indefensible. You either sign the savage or have some kind of at least half assed backup plan. Playing two 1Bs in RF isn't a backup plan.

Vote4Pedro Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 I somehow am not too upset because this is a total White Sox move and it’s pretty comical with what they are trying to accomplish in RF and every season they cry broke but yet spend a ridiculous amount per year on stop gaps that don’t work 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
