January 21, 201610 yr And if it doesn't, is Hahn to blame? If the Sox miss the playoffs because Sale/Q/Rodon get hurt and nobody steps up that's just baseball.
January 21, 201610 yr If we get Cespedes we have to deal Avi or Melky. I'm not a big fan of the Melk-ster. Trade him. Have outfield of Cespedes, Eaton and Avi and get a middle reliever for Melky?? We probably could use Cespedes' presence in the lineup. Edited January 21, 201610 yr by greg775

I think it's more realistic to send Avi down to AAA in this scenario with Schuck being the 4th OF.

January 21, 201610 yr QUOTE (Tony @ Jan 21, 2016 -> 12:42 AM) And if it doesn't, is Hahn to blame? esp the pitching, that is the most important and there is no one who can step in, i think that is why many, including me, would like another sp signed....
January 21, 201610 yr Will Cespedes want to play CF? I know he was itching for it according to the announcers during the playoffs.
January 21, 201610 yr Mets' Fred Wilpon on Yoenis Cespedes: 'Your guess is as good as mine' http://fansided.com/2016/01/20/mets-fred-w...uess-good-mine/ Nothing really new to be honest, just more speculation from NY like what we would read in Chicago.
January 21, 201610 yr QUOTE (Tony @ Jan 20, 2016 -> 07:59 PM) I asked the question because I'm curious where expectations will be if Cespedes is signed. It seems like that will meet the fans expectations for a very good off-season. What if they fail, and it's an 81 win season. Who is to blame at that point? The players. At that point the front office did all they could.

Who is to blame at that point? and for me, you make a great question but i would like to know why 81 wins.... if everyone is healthy then i would blame the FO b/c they saddle this great group of players with a freaking incompetent field manager. pitchers hurt, then it goes back to getting a back up pitcher which i been ragging about. key players hurt.... can not fault no one except lady luck.

January 21, 201610 yr Give me reasons to go to White Sox. Want to sign by Friday, Jay-Z... I mean raBBit. Jose, please chime in also. My cell was left on the green at the 17th hole when I four putted and got upset. Edit: Also, raBBit... Have an intern call AT&T to have them do the find my phone thing again. If someone found it - just give them a million once my contract is signed. Edited January 21, 201610 yr by Yoenis Cespedes

January 21, 201610 yr If the Sox do sign Cespedes the next priority has to be getting Melky back to his old "training" regimen. Hopefully one that's less conspicuous. A clean Melky in LF isnt going to be doing the Sox any favors.
January 21, 201610 yr QUOTE (Tony @ Jan 21, 2016 -> 01:07 AM) Also, I'm not saying I think there is a right answer. Obviously a thousand different things can happen. But if a resounding amount of people say "Hahn and Williams did everything they could this off-season and it was a resounding win", then in theory we shouldn't hear any complaints at the end of 2016 about a bad front office. But I have a hunch that won't be the case. you not including mismanagement on the field......
January 21, 201610 yr Now I will say that if there are big injuries to key players than that could be a factor in that 81 win season. Here's to hoping we get Cespedes and have a great season.

Guess I'm naive.

January 21, 201610 yr QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Jan 20, 2016 -> 07:14 PM) ihaveafeelingsomethingisgoingtohappentodayTalk.com Are you trying to say something won't happen today? Fuuuuuck!?!?! I'm hanging around for two things. 1) to see if the Sox are able to sign Cespedes. 2) to witness the nuclear meltdown if the Sox do not sign Cespedes. Either way, it should be interesting to read the responses.

January 21, 201610 yr QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jan 20, 2016 -> 07:25 PM) I wonder why JR had lunch with ARod today. Uh oh, cue the ARod for LaRoche rumor... IIRC, aren't JR and ARod friends?
