June 13, 201510 yr Here's how this works. Just make a list of the guys that won't be in a White Sox uniform by Opening Day 2016 that are currently on the team. When that time comes, we can see how close we were to our predictions. My guesses are: - Tyler Flowers - Alexei Ramirez - Carlos Sanchez - Junior Guerra - Hector Noesi - John Danks - Emilio Bonifacio Edited June 13, 201510 yr by Mike F.
June 13, 201510 yr Alexei, Gillaspie, Flowers, Sanchez, Beckham, Bonifacio, Soto, Samardzija, Danks, Noesi, Ju. Guerra
June 13, 201510 yr Alexei needs to be back, even if it for playing SS. i still think he is improving. re-Danks, ahhhh lets not forget the length of his contract? the owners should suck it up and pay him and put him in some extended d/l. but they won't do that, b/c of what the cost of his salary.
June 13, 201510 yr Alexei has been horrible this year. He's lost a lot of range and bat speed. Time to find a new SS next year.

June 14, 201510 yr Assuming the season continues on its trajectory - Alexei Ramirez - option declined Emilio Bonifacio - option declined Geo Soto - Not re-signed this offseason Gordon Beckham - Not re-signed Hector Noesi - DFA, released Matt Albers - Not re-signed JB Shuck - waivers, claimed Jeff Samardzija - FA, comp pick Gillaspie - Non-tendered, FA Edited June 14, 201510 yr by daggins

June 14, 201510 yr QUOTE (Feeky Magee @ Jun 14, 2015 -> 01:01 AM) What y'all got against my boy Junior Guerra, assholes was that really necessary.
June 14, 201510 yr QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 14, 2015 -> 01:04 AM) You forgot Flowers. i was wondering about that one, then again who will replace him??
June 14, 201510 yr QUOTE (LDF @ Jun 13, 2015 -> 09:08 PM) i was wondering about that one, then again who will replace him?? I have no idea. We have lots of catchers and none of them are earning the spot. That does suggest they might offer arb just to have someone in the role to see how it goes.

June 14, 201510 yr Actually with Flowers, they might non tender him and try to re-sign him. He might be worth ~2M but he definitely isn't worth 4.

He might be worth ~2M but he definitely isn't worth 4. there is no freaking way he is worth 4 mil. however to pull that bluff, the sox better have an option ready, to replace him if he doesn't want to come back.

Bluff ? There's been a lot of options the last few years the Sox coud've picked up off the scrap heap who could be just as effective as Flowers.
