Boopa1219 Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 (edited) 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. Edited December 10, 2015 by Joshua Strong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baron Posted December 10, 2015 Author Share Posted December 10, 2015 QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Dec 9, 2015 -> 08:58 PM) That was my first thought. They're definitely not done. Something else is coming and rather quickly I'd imagine. Â 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.

whtsoxfan Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 QUOTE (Baron @ Dec 9, 2015 -> 08:45 PM) 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. Â 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eminor3rd Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has Lawrie EVER had a better season than Zobrist   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.

Does Lawrie play 7 positions like Zobrist? Is Lawrie a switch hitter like Zobrist? Has Lawrie EVER had a better season than Zobrist  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 Edited December 10, 2015 by Baron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
