So much for all the fluff stories this past week about how "great" Romy looks. ?

Very good news. Played great last year, insurance at short in case Tim gets injured, cheap $$. 
 

Let the bitching commence!

I like it.  He will be good in the clubhouse also.  He will be better than Harrison was

Nice insurance move on the cheap, buys some time for Sosa and Popeye. I wonder how mad will everyone be when 2018-2022 pre-Sox Andrus shows up and can't hit.

Remillard/Sosa/Romy fluff piece threat clipped $1-2 million off that deal...lol.

Well its better than nothing 

Watch he records a -0.6 fWAR after losing his hitting coaches from last year.

Unnecessary and could clog up the minors.
 

The better defensive SS is at 2B. Only in this organization. 

Nothing says white sox like signing a bad player to play out of position 

At the very least he should be a plus defender, just don't count on the fluke offense 

the one redeeming thing is its only $3 million, which wouldn't cripple most organizations

This is fine

Big fan, especially given Timmy’s injury issues

Surprised he didn't get a shortstop gig somewhere. Loved him during his time on the South Side last year, but I really feel like "signing an aging vet to play out of position based on a six week hot streak after years of below replacement level play" is the exact kind of move Sox fans would normally drag Hahn for if Elvis wasn't so damn likeable.

I do hope Romy/Sosa still get a good amount of run though. Dreaming of a world where Romy gets Leury's UTIL job...

Also, having a 2B with SS caliber range is more important than ever 

I like it don’t know why it took so long

That's a great thought that I haven't gotten used to yet.

The rest of the league seems unimpressed. Im just glad Leury is kept at arm’s length

Because he was looking for more money and a SS job.

You don't move Tim Anderson for someone who may only be here 2 months.

Agent was hoping there would be a desperate situation cropping up other than just Chicago to leverage 

Sure, why not? I’ve said several times throughout this off-season that I would take Elvis late in the game for $3M, and here we are.
