Or has learned from Hahn how to maximize the earning potential of a Sox GM by stretching out the rebuild to a minimum of 4-5 years...if not 6.

Jerry McNertney Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 Here we go again. Dejong has a lifetime OBP of .299. Just start Montgomery. He'll be 22 when the 2024 season starts. Robin Ventura was 22 in his rookie year. He had a tough first season, but the next year he had 100 RBI. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no reason to burn the clock on Montgomery’s service clock immediately on a pretty much punted season.  Let him get ready in AAA.  If DeJong stinks, DFA.  If DeJong turns it around, trade him for a flier.  This is a zero risk 1 year stop gap at SS.  Getz is making the right plays so far. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spiderman Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 If the White Sox are improving their infield defense, even with the lack of offense, is this the sign of a rebuild or a retooling? Same on Bummer...they decide to improve the defense now after they trade him, but they added at least one starting pitcher (we know they aren't going to spend on aby significant free agent) and add a few spare parts (including that infield defense) . Saying that, if they trade Cease and acquire 2 players who they expect to be part of the team for next year (say another starter and a RF), add a few more stop gap free agents for cheap....one more starter, 2 relievers another 2B.... Who is the team to beat in this division and can the White Sox compete with some mish mash of stopgaps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So does Lopez, actually. But we have like 4 Remillards we can park in Charlotte in reserve; maybe they have limited options, I don't know. Nicky isn't going to get any better. I suppose Shewmake might. Anyway, if the idea is to park them in Charlotte, then why not try to get a real prospect out of the deal instead? And then if they sign Merrifield on top of this, it gets really confusing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
