October 18, 201312 yr QUOTE (bbilek1 @ Oct 17, 2013 -> 10:12 PM) I think the biggest hurdle of the offseason has been completed and we haven't even reached the offseason yet. It's been the sox offseason for awhile now...
October 18, 201312 yr Rick Hahn is on fire. He has my full support in any move going forward. Love an offense anchored by Abreu and Garcia going forward!
October 18, 201312 yr It would be funny if they now traded Viciedo and Alexei this offseason. Could happen. Edited October 18, 201312 yr by flavum

I think we are only one or two more hitters away from being a playoff contender! And maybe a couple pitchers
October 18, 201312 yr QUOTE (Elgin Slim @ Oct 17, 2013 -> 10:13 PM) Can this guy take a walk??? Seriously. I am tired of the Sox getting guys who swing at everything. No more Ramirez guys who hit .270-.290 and have an OBP of .310-.320. The Sox aren't going to win anything until their hitters can get on base. If this guy can't take a walk, I don't think he will be worth $70MM unless he hits as well as Miguel Cabrera. All signs point to yes. Has a very high OBP in cuban ball.
October 18, 201312 yr QUOTE (MAX @ Oct 17, 2013 -> 10:16 PM) All signs point to yes. Has a very high OBP in cuban ball. Good to hear. I hope that translates to MLB. Edited October 18, 201312 yr by Elgin Slim

October 18, 201312 yr Also have to like the overall presence the Sox are starting to make internationally. Wilder buried them for years.
October 18, 201312 yr This has me so fired up for the rest of this offseason now, Hahn has some real room to get creative now
October 18, 201312 yr The sox were in it if it stayed below 80 which they thought it would. This was plan A this offseason.
October 18, 201312 yr I think having Alexei and Viciedo on the team had a lot to do with getting him. Hopefully, he turns out to be as good, if not better, than Cespedes and Puig.

Hopefully, he turns out to be as good, if not better, than Cespedes and Puig. If Alexei and Viciedo mattered that much, the Sox would have offered only $40 million or so. It was all about the Benjamins.

It's a great signing for a team in their position. I expect some pitching surplus to be traded next for a another position player that could be added to the core for the long-term.

October 18, 201312 yr QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Oct 17, 2013 -> 10:25 PM) So I guess we can expect a PK14 retirement announcement soon? If nobody wants Dunn's contract, could be.
