I need one of you negative miserable posters to tell me how this is a bad move. One! Please! So I can laugh at you and talk about you to my entire family as you personally being a representative for all negative moronic Soc fans that are impossible to please.

Not me.

Good move for the Sox, they gave up nothing and bought really low on Lawrie. I think that he hits better playing half his games in the Cell.

That was my first thought. They're definitely not done. Something else is coming and rather quickly I'd imagine.

 

This isnt the only power they are going to add. Let's not forget that Rick Hahn did say they were speaking to some free agents with qualifying offers. He didnt sound opposed to using the Shark pick at all for the right player.

Love Cubs fans crapping on this move because he's a less good version of AJ as one person called him. But they just signed a 35 year old for nearly 60 million who's overall value was actually lower than Brett's.

 

Oh really? Lower value? Would you like to compare numbers? Does Lawrie play 7 positions like Zobrist? Is Lawrie a switch hitter like Zobrist? Has Lawrie EVER had a better season than Zobrist

this is a bad move shipps.

Good move. It's a gamble on Lawrie's upside, but if he rebounds it's a game-changer. We'll draft 10 more reliever prospects next June.

Oh really? Lower value? Would you like to compare numbers? Does Lawrie play 7 positions like Zobrist? Is Lawrie a switch hitter like Zobrist? Has Lawrie EVER had a better season than Zobrist

 

You also have to factor in age and value of contract

Maybe not, however Lawrie is 26 and has 9 more years to prove the same value that Zobrist has or hasn't got. It took Zobrist to 35 to be rewarded for his value. Let's just be thankful we got someone who could be something of value for basically minor league fodder.

@chuckgarfien White Sox would like to add a power bat in middle of the order.

Not my first choice but he is an upgrade

this is a bad move shipps.

 

LMAO

 

You Aussie stir the pot mutherf***ers.

No but he confirmed it.

 

 

He didn't say they were definitely trying just that it is a possibility since he Lawrie has played second.

@chuckgarfien White Sox would like to add a power bat in middle of the order.

 

I too would like that.

Uh oh, somebody call the whaaaaambulance. We have a whiner! Quick, somebody grab the milk, honey and pacifier!

@chuckgarfien White Sox would like to add a power bat in middle of the order.

 

I think every team would Chuck!

Everyone is thinking Upton but my guess is Cargo.

Why does it matter that he can play 7 positions when he couldnt defend last year? His defensive value is actually projected to get worse next year. Just like the Cabrera discussion in the other thread. He can play across the infield except he does it poorly. Well congrats to the Mets for playing 18 million for that.

 

Technically Brett(Baseball Reference) was better offensively and defensively

Get Upton and Frazier and subtract Avi and LaRoche...I'm legit excited about this team for 2016.

40 man roster still at 38.

I too would like that.

 

I do not want to rely on an Abreu LaRoche Garcia or Lawrie middle of the order. So please make it happen!

Let's make it two Ricky, and let's do it by the end of the night mmkay thanks.

If those moves happen I will be. I love this move but we are still a couple bats away.

Suuuuuurre. What does it matter a guy can play 7 positions?.....it happens all the god damn time....

He didn't say they were definitely trying just that it is a possibility since he Lawrie has played second.

Ya I didn't mean like confirmed were getting Frazier. Just meant confirmed the possibility.

This isnt the only power they are going to add. Let's not forget that Rick Hahn did say they were speaking to some free agents with qualifying offers. He didnt sound opposed to using the Shark pick at all for the right player.

Oh I know that I'm hoping we gets something else before the night is through.
