December 14, 201411 yr I would assume Danks and Viciedo are gone for low level prospects and Rodon and Johnson will battle for #5
December 14, 201411 yr These dudes are SO fast, lol: http://www.rosterresource.com/mlb-chicago-white-sox/
December 14, 201411 yr QUOTE (Alexeihyeess @ Dec 13, 2014 -> 11:45 PM) Quintana is good. Melky is is probably not anymore. He was just fine last season and the season before
December 14, 201411 yr So let me see if i get this right, Mariners are thinking about trading for vicedo, Mariners then turn their sights to melky cabera, White sox sign melky, ..... How great would it be if the last part is filled in with the mariners trade for vicedo.
December 14, 201411 yr QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Dec 13, 2014 -> 09:45 PM) Why? I would have preferred Kemp, just never cared for Melky as a player.
December 14, 201411 yr He was just fine last season and the season before He was a train wreck in 13. I don't have a problem with him getting caught, I have a problem with how getting caught has affected him as a player. Look, I gotta accept it and root for the guy starting now. The way it is, I'm along for the ride. #teammelky.
December 14, 201411 yr I'm buying a mini season ticket package after all this stuff going on!! Can't wait for some baseball now
December 14, 201411 yr This is just my opinion, but if I'm Rick Hahn, I keep Viciedo as a power guy off the bench. He can spell LaRoche against lefties (I know, Viciedo hasn't hit lefties well since 2012, but still) and is a good insurance policy due to the injury history of Melky and Avisail. If one of those two gets injured, that means Jordan Danks is your starting LF/RF, and that is not a good first outfield option off the bench for a playoff contender.

I don't think we can afford the 4th OF to be so bad at defense. This team still needs a ton of defensive help. I'd like to see them be aggressive with late inning replacements to protect leads this year. I'd honestly rather have Danks than Viciedo. Edited December 14, 201411 yr by Eminor3rd
December 14, 201411 yr Now watch us go sign Ichiro as our 4th OF, trade for Tyler Clippard... it sounds completely unrealistic, but so did signing Melky to a 3/45 deal after this week's moves.
December 14, 201411 yr Micah Johnson @Micah_Johnson3 51s52 seconds ago @TheMelkman53 too?!! Chicago's gonna be JUMPING like the Jordan days!!
December 14, 201411 yr @MLBBruceLevine: Cabrera contract should be in $45 million range . Neither agent or team will comment .
December 14, 201411 yr QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Dec 14, 2014 -> 12:01 AM) Just so everyone knows its true. Milky retweeted Eaton's tweet!!! That's great news! I can't remember the last time I was this excited in the offseason.

If one of those two gets injured, that means Jordan Danks is your starting LF/RF, and that is not a good first outfield option off the bench for a playoff contender. The 4th OF has to be able to run and defend. I get where you're coming from and you're not wrong, but Viciedo just doesn't profile as a guy you can enter the game in multiple secnarios.
December 14, 201411 yr The only reason this happened is that hi8is is in Chicago when it's the offseason.
December 14, 201411 yr Author If its true about the 3/45 contract. That is the perfect amount of years. Just turned 30, so we won't be committed into a deep deal with an aging player. I wouldn't be mad about a 4th year either. Incredible.
December 14, 201411 yr Not what I was expecting to see when I logged in on soxtalk on a boring saturday night.
December 14, 201411 yr Author QUOTE (Bigsoxhurt35 @ Dec 14, 2014 -> 12:11 AM) Very excited! We like striking at midnight Yeah, I'd rather it be during the day. I can't sleep now!
December 14, 201411 yr Judging by Rick Hahn's sleep schedule I'd say he's a college sophomore resigned to his fate of flunking out of school. Edited December 14, 201411 yr by Alexeihyeess
