Nimmo is going to get a longer term deal with more money, so... Benintendi or Gallo seem to be most likely because of cost and adding a LH bat.

Chicago White Sox Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 (edited) I’d rather not commit to multiple years of Benintendi. I think the worst you can do in free agency is commit multiple to average positional players. Either go get a Conforto or Bellinger on a one year deal or trade for someone more impactful.

This is absolutely where I am at. 1 year ago the majority of this board wanted nothing to do with Benintendi when the Red Sox were trying to move him.

His defense is solid, and getting out of NY could help. I know it's scary because of our history with the Adam Dunns of the world, but if we aren't going to spend for Nimmo, I wouldn't be mad if we signed Gallo.

JR is not spending on any of them although Benintendi would be my choice if the Sox find the resources. Nimmo is looking for a BIG contract and won't be signing here. Think more along the lines of Kiermaier, Pham, Peralta, or Grossman. This is the Chicago White Sox we're talking about, Colas will be brought up, and I have a feeling Eloy will split his time between DH and LF (Ugh) until he get's injured. I hope they trade for Gleyber Torres. We can send the Yankee's Kelly, Graveman, and Hendricks if that what it takes and find some solutions to replace them within the organization.

But much more viable if one of Conforto/Benintendi/Gallo/Bellinger are also added. In that scenario, Frazier is only playing the OF everyday for like 3 weeks until Colas arrives. Then he flips to the 2nd base mix / 4th OF. He was awful in 22, but he'd be a solid complementary piece, but an awful main add. 1 hour ago, SoxBlanco said: Gun to your head: Will the Sox end up with one of these four players on the 2023 roster?: Conforto, Benintendi, Gallo, Nimmo I think so, yah though I'd probably add Bellinger to the list. Really hoping they splash for Nimmo, but I know its super unlikely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In terms of WAR, a league average starter will produce about 2 WAR (https://library.fangraphs.com/misc/war/). If you had 9 average starters (18 WAR), 5 average pitchers (10 WAR), an average bullpen (4 WAR), and a little on your bench, you wind up with low 30s in terms of WAR for the team that that sets you up to be about a .500 ballclub. Last year Benintendi produced 2.8, slightly above average. The year before that 1.7, slightly below average for a starter. His projected number for next year is in-between those at 2.3, essentially an average starter. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nimmo and Robert patrolling the outfield with Colas would look pretty good. We also don't solve a lack of lineup balance at all, Gleyber is not a good 2B, and we now have a horrific bullpen. Gleyber also is due around $10M in arb, so not exactly cheap either. I guess if you turn around and sign Nimmo I like it a bit better, but removing our best 2 relievers and then a guy that at least has a great arm and track record and should rebound to at least being serviceable....the pen would be awful.

This plus the new shift rules actually makes him a personal favorite target of mine. He's got bounceback written all over him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll never be a high average hitter, but he could absolutely hit a s%*# ton of home runs at the Rate. And his defense would be very nice improvement compared to what we've seen recently.
