flavum Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 https://twitter.com/Buster_ESPN/status/684081387805224962 Source: Doug Fister said to have offers of 1 and 2 years from multiple teams. The other guy mentioning the Sox and Fister is a troll. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Allen Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 The White Sox usually like to add a team option to contracts with guys like this. If they are offering pitching at USCF and that potential team option probably is enough to get him to take something else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Sacamano Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 I could dig a one year deal. He probably won't be looking for more. And with a weak pitching market he could look to cash in. Plus if he pitches well, we could offer a QO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleHurt05 Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 A good infield defense is a must with a pitcher like Fister. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jose Abreu Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 ARE WE SERIOUSLY STILL QUOTING NICKYMITCH??! If the whole Cespedes debacle didn't prove that he's just a kid creating rumors, I don't know what else will... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlackSox13 Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 Am I wrong for not wanting this guy? I read earlier today his velocity was down to 86 last season. Are there any indicators that might show his velocity will return? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly if they really are interested in giving Fister a major league deal, it means they don't think much of Johnson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might be onto something there. It could explain the rumors earlier in the off season with the Sox shopping Johnson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lasttriptotulsa Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 I have no interest in Fister at all. I would rather give Erik Johnson the chance to prove himself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would rather give Erik Johnson the chance to prove himself. I certainly would too, but that's all up to Cooper. Cooper gave Noesi a year to prove himself (or not); Johnson went external to get some help to straighten out. Regardless they need another pitcher on the 25 who can start; put him in long relief as insurance. There's really no one in the upper minors if Danks or Johnson fails.

Right now I say the 6th starter/long relief man is Jacob Turner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who said they had no interest? But reality indicates he would really be beating great odds spending 2016 in a major league rotation. If they truly are counting on him, and expecting to compete, that is a bit scary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jan 5, 2016 -> 08:59 AM) How many pitchers the Sox have no interest in do they spend $1.5 million on? $1.5M is not much money in this era (baseball wise). That is less money than the Sox gave Beckham last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
