shipps Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 QUOTE (fathom @ Dec 10, 2015 -> 04:55 PM) There's been very little of late connecting the Sox to Upton. Seems like Cespedes might be their target. I would rather have Cespedes to be honest. Just a gut feeling on that so it doesn't really count but I think he will be a much better player for us than Upton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigsoxhurt35 Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 Id rather keep my pick and sign Cespedes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW I think most of these big FAs are gambles, I don't think any of them are exceptional but you'll be paying that price for them. If we're going for it you need to get one of them though, can't keep wasting Sale and Abreu and we've put ourselves in this position.

BlackSox13 Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 If the Sox are to sign a FA OF include me with the Cespedes crowd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shipps Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 I can see Cespedes and Abreu playing off of each other in that lineup. That may be an imaginary vision of mine but it seems like he would fit in very well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Sacamano Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Dec 10, 2015 -> 04:58 PM) Id rather keep my pick and sign Cespedes. Yeah if we're gonna sign a right handed power hitter I prefer Cespedes. AL tested is a plus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maggsmaggs Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 This is the White Sox we are talking about whose biggest contract ever handed out was $68 million over six years. They are going to double that amount to give to Justin Upton? That just is not the White Sox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaliSoxFanViaSWside Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 QUOTE (shipps @ Dec 10, 2015 -> 03:22 PM) I can see Cespedes and Abreu playing off of each other in that lineup. That may be an imaginary vision of mine but it seems like he would fit in very well. If Alexei doesn't re sign with the Sox then I'd hate for Jose to be on an island as the only Cuban on the 25 . I think 2 Cuban sluggers would be a good match. I can't say who I would rather have because I'd gladly take Cespedes, Upton, Heyward or Gordon. High end talent like those 4 pretty much beats anything the Sox have playing the field now. Get one of them and I'm a happy minion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
