July 30, 201510 yr Ken Rosenthal @Ken_Rosenthal 4m4 minutes ago #WhiteSox hitters last in the majors in fWAR, so almost any upgrade would make sense. Main need: 3B, a position of scarcity in industry. Todd Frazier is out of the line up tonight
July 30, 201510 yr Red Sox fans are responding to that tweet saying "Pablo Sandoval for the Quintana guy from last night!"
July 30, 201510 yr QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Jul 30, 2015 -> 02:35 PM) Ken Rosenthal @Ken_Rosenthal 4m4 minutes ago #WhiteSox hitters last in the majors in fWAR, so almost any upgrade would make sense. Main need: 3B, a position of scarcity in industry. Todd Frazier is out of the line up tonight Frazier would be a pretty big get and go with a longer-term plan. I just think the price would be so steep that it wouldn't make sense. Plus, you have to admit Saladino has provided a nice spark, but Frazier is a clear upgrade and Tyler will probably have an adjustment phase now that teams are getting more footage on him.
July 30, 201510 yr QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Jul 30, 2015 -> 03:36 PM) Red Sox fans are responding to that tweet saying "Pablo Sandoval for the Quintana guy from last night!" They might have the most delusional fans.
July 30, 201510 yr Saladino is doing fine at third. Had a couple hiccups but he's made some nice plays.
July 30, 201510 yr QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Jul 30, 2015 -> 04:39 PM) They might have the most delusional fans. They're the same ones that think they can trade a prospect or two for Chris Sale.
July 30, 201510 yr Author Chuck Garfien @ChuckGarfien 3m3 minutes ago Longoria is under contract until 2022. He's having a rough season (for him). His price is probably lowest its been.
July 30, 201510 yr QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Jul 30, 2015 -> 04:55 PM) RF is a bigger need. I think both are major needs, but that is because I don't buy Saladino at 3B long-term.

I don't buy Saladino long term at 3B, but after his first month in the bigs I'm at least willing to let him try.
July 31, 201510 yr I wouldn't clean the farm for Longo. If...IF I had to I'd offer it for Arenado or someone like that. Colorado isn't thinking about moving him because they have him under control a few more years. Just a complete crazy name for 3B

I don't buy Saladino long term at 3B, but after his first month in the bigs I'm at least willing to let him try. His bat could play a lot better at SS but that would need Alexei out of the way. Could make sense to wait til the offseason on that position and run with this IF for now.
July 31, 201510 yr QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Jul 30, 2015 -> 03:36 PM) Red Sox fans are responding to that tweet saying "Pablo Sandoval for the Quintana guy from last night!" I would not trade Beckham for Sandoval.
July 31, 201510 yr QUOTE (oldsox @ Jul 31, 2015 -> 02:07 AM) I would not trade Beckham for Sandoval. LOL: Five years, 95 million total. Club option in 2020 for another 17 million. He's hitting .262 with eight homers and 34 RBI. Yet another example of a guy fans/teams celebrated signing and now are desperate to get rid of and drop the salary. My favorite sport of baseball is run by idiots. 17 million a year for that guy. Amazing. Edited July 31, 201510 yr by greg775
July 31, 201510 yr QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Jul 30, 2015 -> 06:55 PM) RF is a bigger need. They're both needs, but I'd say 3B is tougher to fill because it is so hard to find a good 3Bman anywhere around the majors, whereas there are usually a few good OFs available at any given time.
