Sox working on signing a LF

I assume you’re looking at outfield totals and not starting LF/CF/RF

Well of course, because excluding Vaughn or Sheets from the "outfield HR totals" last year because they weren't the opening day corner outfielders wouldn't make much sense.

  • Working on it but I think this burner is correct. 

  • So what are the odds we are giving that whomever we sign the white sox will be their last team before retirement?

  • There is really only one alternative in resolving this position and his name is Benintendi. The guy is a gold glove LF, who hits for average and gets on base. He is far superior to Joey Gallo (the str

So I would then also assume in true Sox fashion all three outfielders won’t stay healthy all year and then will get 10-20 more homers from their bench.  A quick search by me confirms 50 from the starting 3 would be at least average, if not more.  Team like the Guardians, Red Sox and Tigers got an embarrassing low total from their outfielders.

How is Jansen mediocre?  Huge power last year.  15 homers in 248 at bats last year makes him look like Mike Piazza on the Sox.

Jansen can't stay healthy. He had 2 separate hamstring injuries in 2021. We might as well pencil him in for 2 months on the IL if he gets traded here.

But you're counting 25 from Robert which he isn't going to get to if the bench has to play 250 plate appearances for him.

Welcome to this off season, where even the trash players are getting paid.  The good ones are killing it.  I  mean based on this a 5/75 might have to happen to win against these other teams.

Benintendi is 28. 5 years for a free agent his age isn't that bad.

5 years for Beni doesn't scare me.  I'd be surprised if it didn't scare the Sox though.  But desperate times and all.

Yup. 5 years takes him to his age 33 season. Alot of these guys got deals going into their 40s.

He's a high floor low ceiling type of guy. I'd bet he never eclipses 3 WAR the next 5 years. But I also doubt he would go under 1.5 WAR unless he's hurt for most of the year. If you're paying him $15 million for 5 years, you're basically betting on him being worth 10 WAR for the next 5 years. That's not a high bar to clear.

Considering Pal said this

Then it'll be interesting to see if he will be wrong or not. 

Sorry, exact opposite of what I heard...heard he had a deal done with another team. Sox may have actually outbid for him.

Gallo to twins

1 year $11 million. 

Pretty close to that $10 million prediction we saw. 

Gallo to Twins is a very strange fit.

Kepler trade coming?

Almost certainly now.  But even so, still a strange fit.  2/3rd of their OF is now full and they need to give Larnach near everyday at bats.  Kiriloff too.  He can play some 1B.  But also have Garlick and Wallner.  Just a strange fit.

Yeah, they've got like 5 left-handed OF bats now. I think one of them has the ability to play 1B if they end up moving Arraez.

Kirilloff will play alot of 1B moving forward regardless.
