December 10, 201510 yr I didn't want the guy but can't complain on the price. The lineup still needs some major upgrades.
December 10, 201510 yr QUOTE (flavum @ Dec 9, 2015 -> 08:36 PM) Avila and Lawrie can rock/paper/scissors for #13. I think Lawrie wears 15
December 10, 201510 yr QUOTE (PolishPrince34 @ Dec 10, 2015 -> 03:35 AM) Heyward Age 26 Cespedes Age 30 and upton is 28. but cespedes will not cost the sox a draft pick.... just thinking. heyward may want a option at 3 yr to leave. that will be a win win
December 10, 201510 yr Solid move by Hahn. Didn't give up much talent. Solved a huge hole at 3b. Also love that Lawrie is 26 years old and hasn't reached his prime.
December 10, 201510 yr QUOTE (Frank_Thomas35 @ Dec 9, 2015 -> 08:37 PM) I think Lawrie wears 15 True. He wore 13 in Toronto and is part of his twitter handle.
December 10, 201510 yr QUOTE (Baron @ Dec 9, 2015 -> 09:35 PM) Brett Lawrie will be on XM Radio MLB Channel in a few minutes Link to listen?
December 10, 201510 yr QUOTE (Frank_Thomas35 @ Dec 9, 2015 -> 06:33 PM) I can't help but think of the scene in bad boys anytime I heard Lawries name. Ahh yes! Been thinking of that all day!
December 10, 201510 yr QUOTE (PolishPrince34 @ Dec 9, 2015 -> 08:35 PM) Heyward Age 26 Cespedes Age 30 Out of those three I think I rather have Upton. If Gordon is in the discussion I'm not sure if I rather have him or Upton more. I'm just stoked we got this guy. And the last time the A's traded a 3B he turned out to be the ALMVP. Here's to history repeting itself in '16
December 10, 201510 yr QUOTE (DirtySox @ Dec 9, 2015 -> 09:32 PM) As a fellow overly tattooed scumbag, I approve of this addition. I also have tattoos. So here's to the three scumbags! lol

December 10, 201510 yr QUOTE (flavum @ Dec 9, 2015 -> 08:38 PM) True. He wore 13 in Toronto and is part of his twitter handle. Already nerded it out and tried him out in the Show.
December 10, 201510 yr Really good potential to be the right fit for him and the Sox. 2 years at his age? Perfect for the 2016 Sox. Well done, Sox FO.
December 10, 201510 yr QUOTE (Baron @ Dec 9, 2015 -> 06:40 PM) You need a subscription Play by play for us?
December 10, 201510 yr Author 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.
December 10, 201510 yr QUOTE (Frank_Thomas35 @ Dec 9, 2015 -> 08:41 PM) Already nerded it out and tried him out in the Show. When he dips the bat forward I don't think it's that obnoxious as it is in real life. It's kind of annoying to play with haha
December 10, 201510 yr Author QUOTE (SoCalSox @ Dec 9, 2015 -> 08:44 PM) Play by play for us? Sure He had a great time in Oakland. Thanked the fans and apologized for not doing better. Said he knows Melky and Navarro. He's really excited to play with Abreu,Eaton and the great pitching staff. Used to be traded. Just gotta have a positive mindset. He loves hard working teammates and wants to help this team win a championship.
December 10, 201510 yr I'd prefer Heyward. Don't care that it's more money. He won't be around after year 4/5 around anyway.
December 10, 201510 yr QUOTE (Baron @ Dec 10, 2015 -> 02:45 AM) 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. Tell them to look up Lackey's personal history
December 10, 201510 yr Seems as if most of us either under valued our prospects or over valued Lawrie regarding who would be traded to get him. Whatever the case I really like how it worked out. Edited December 10, 201510 yr by CaliSoxFanViaSWside

This is nothing more than a stop gap move. If people think he's the long term answer at 3rd, he's not.

December 10, 201510 yr QUOTE (Frank_Thomas35 @ Dec 9, 2015 -> 08:48 PM) Agreed I meant to say it's more obnoxious in the game. I might have worded it weird the first time.
