Damn. Trade Liam,get a 2ndbaseman and a catcher that can throw and actually catch and call it an off-season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read they might go internal for 2B, but imo they need another impact LH bat. I expect Liam to be traded for Jansen but I want them to get Busch from LAD. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmags Posted December 17, 2022 Share Posted December 17, 2022 4 minutes ago, Chicago White Sox said: This is a very fair and honest take. Benintendi is not a perfect fit for us, but at the same time he does add much needed lineup balance and fills a massive hole with 2+ win production. In terms of free agency, the only player available at the moment I think would have been a better singing was Conforto and he comes with more risk plus you have the Boras factor that could drag things out. I’m not doing cartwheels in the streets over this and I definitely wish our LF was more of a power bat, but this move makes us better and we still have our prospect currency to make another move to enhance the offense. It’s true this is the best of the situation, just obnoxious the solution is always “well sort the free agent list by left field and see who we can sign” 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can not rely on Lynn, Giolito, Kopech to be healthy all season. And we saw what happened when they weren't and we starting guys like Velasquez, Martin, etc. (Lopez was solid as a spot starter, but depending on what happens with Liam he might be closing). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Allen Posted December 17, 2022 Share Posted December 17, 2022 So is the message to Eloy you’re now pretty much a full time DH, or is Eloy on his way out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost certainly the former. He's their best power bat and should now be healthier. They really need 30+ HRs from him this year. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poppysox Posted December 17, 2022 Share Posted December 17, 2022 1 hour ago, Chicago White Sox said: No and I think the front office soured on Madrigal pretty quickly once he entered the organization and Hostetler lost influence. As such, I doubt they would ever bring him back. Sounds like he’s a weird clubhouse guy too. TLR was a weird clubhouse guy and we brought him back.🙂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was basically a DH when he returned so can’t be a shock to him. And he raked. 54 out of 84 games at DH. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Full-time DH. And honestly, he hit well enough there last year (138 wRC+) to make the move permanent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t view it as a need given we have to give Grandal a shot at 18 mil. If Pedro severino or someone would take a Milb deal, that would be helpful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
