CentralChamps21 Posted November 21, 2023 Share Posted November 21, 2023 DeJong will be very valuable if Remillard, Sosa, Gonzalez and Rodriguez all get injured. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogan873 Posted November 21, 2023 Author Share Posted November 21, 2023 Maybe, just maybe...The Sox are confident in acquiring a top 2B prospect in a Cease trade, and the Lopez acquisition and DeJong signing are stop gaps for said 2B prospect and Montgomery. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmags Posted November 21, 2023 Share Posted November 21, 2023 I will say this : The idea that this prevents a Sosa/Rodriguez tryout just isn't true to me. This guy was waived last year. It doesn't stop you from doing anything. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capn12 Posted November 21, 2023 Share Posted November 21, 2023 Yeah, 2021-2023 stat lines read like a sequel to the movie Terrifier....what a debacle. I DO wish we'd at least give our guys a shot at taking the job, in the Spring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like the beginning of the first episode of Family Guy when it returned from being cancelled and Peter named off about 30 Fox shows that had started and been cancelled, saying that if all those shows got cancelled, Family Guy might make it.

Dick Allen Posted November 21, 2023 Share Posted November 21, 2023 Brett Lawrie and Jimmy Rollins was a better combo. That didn’t work out so well. Hope they get something decent for Cease and Eloy or they are going to be horrendous until JR gets out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted November 21, 2023 Share Posted November 21, 2023 Lopez and DeJong middle infield…I bet Whit is acquired for RF now.  1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baseball_gal_aly Posted November 21, 2023 Share Posted November 21, 2023 (edited) Now waiting for the inevitable Merrifield signing and Moncada for Perez trade. Before you yell at me about the Moncada for Perez thing, Moncada has 1 year at $29M and Perez has 2 years at $44M total so if the Royals save money overall. Edited November 21, 2023 by baseball_gal_aly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmags Posted November 21, 2023 Share Posted November 21, 2023 I read some BA chat in like 2015 praising the cards for turning dejong into an unlikely shortstop because of his height and it probably wasn't dejong but boy did that stick with me. Everytime I saw a closeup of that young man I'd think" wow, that's the face of a tall man" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chick Mercedes Posted November 21, 2023 Share Posted November 21, 2023 7 minutes ago, hogan873 said: Well, the defense up the middle got a lot better. That's something, right? Right? What it seems like the plan is, to establish an identity on the ground floor of adding/promoting the real talent to the roster later. I guess in this case, a defensive identity. Perhaps a grinder mentality. In other words, the ballyhooed quick turnaround may amount to a turnaround in style orientation rather than a turnaround in the standings.
