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.

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The good ones are killing it. I mean based on this a 5/75 might have to happen to win against these other teams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup. 5 years takes him to his age 33 season. Alot of these guys got deals going into their 40s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But desperate times and all. 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. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, exact opposite of what I heard...heard he had a deal done with another team. Sox may have actually outbid for him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChiSox59 Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 1 minute ago, Greek-konerko said: 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Sacamano Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 3 minutes ago, ChiSox59 said: Gallo to Twins is a very 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
