I agree, but every team brings in retreads on minor league deals.

 

There will probably be 15-20 non-roster invites, and he's one of them. No big deal.

Yes. And we should invite a ton of starting pitchers because if no one has noticed, our spot starters are absolute garbage.

Because it's fun when the Sox sign people and I literally just said that if they can bring in someone like this who might work at the right cost, and Brad Penny might fit a rotation spot at the right cost.

 

Seriously, there's absolutely no harm in doing this.

Also, I bet the White Sox bring Brian Nikola Anderson back this year too. I will bet 4 internet dollars on that.

Steamer is actually kind to him right now

Is kind to him an FIP under 5?

As a pitcher or outfielder?

will he be part of the press conference today?

As a pitcher or outfielder?

 

As a hybrid. A gunslinging pitcher/outfielder who is out for justice on the south side.

I'll watch that sitcom.

Yeah, he is on a minor league deal. I would bet he also has an opt out option for the end of March if the Sox don't put him on the 25 man roster. If he is good (lol) that is good for us. If he isn't, there isn't any harm all here. You send him the way of every other failed free agent minor league signing.

As a pitcher or outfielder?

 

Why not both? I know he and Brad Penny were or are really good friends, Anderson was sort of trying to piece his baseball career back together (and I recall getting back to being an outfielder, but maybe the Sox can do something with his arm, who knows?), and I know he's been talking to Hahn working to help his baseball career. He's also making an appearance at Soxfest, as I recall. What harm is there in a Spring Training invite?

As a pitcher or outfielder?

 

Both. He will take Leury & Dunn's spot as the emergency reliever.

will he be part of the press conference today?

 

He will be the guy holding the microphone cables for the cordless mics.

And looking damned good doing it.

And outfield coach? He can do it all!

 

/swoons

He can compete for a spot. If/when he gets shelled in ST then no harm done.

Depth

I am also invited to spring training so not a big deal.

This is a cheapskate move. Might as well bring in Doug Nickle too.

 

...

 

...I'll leave.

Depth

 

You call it depth, I call it ace + ace + ace + ace + ace = WSWS

Now I find this team hard to cheer for.

 

Was Penny on the 2004 Marlins? I may like him yet.

Trivia question, which threw the hardest in 2014, Quintana, Danks or Penny?
