LittleHurt05 Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 Barry Rozner @BarryRozner Rick Hahn: “Kosuke adds to our outfield depth and gives Robin another left-handed bat to mix into the lineup (CF-RF) based on matchups.''   Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donny Lucy's Avocado Farm Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 Platoon partner for Viciedo or backup in case Viciedo can't hit or if Rios doesn't bounce back. Â Good signing for 500k. *shrug* Unless he drops a 1000 OPS on KW, that 3.5m option ain't getting picked up. Â Â Â Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

almagest Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 He was bad in Cleveland, but if he can get on base with us like he did with the Cubs, this is a good move for some bench depth. If he's playing every day, it means one of De Aza/Viciedo/Rios has been awful, which means we're probably terrible anyways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 When my buddy texted me this, I almost threw up, but when I saw the price, I calmed down. $500K is nothing. I was worried we were giving him like $4-6M or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sox need outfielders who can catch the ball. Even if he's primarily a defensive replacement, its hard to argue he'll be overpaid.

rowand's rowdies Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 At best a nice contributor to a team playing to it's potential - competitive in the AL Central  At worst he doesnt cost anything and we can eat his contract or trade him mid season for a prospect.  So at worst this is a move that doesn't hurt us at all. I like it. Makes some cubs jerseys have a sox player on the back...that's sweet. Suck it cubs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
