January 14, 201610 yr QUOTE (fathom @ Jan 14, 2016 -> 02:10 PM) Good for Alexei, I'll always root for him. I'm sure if the Sox are in contention and Saladino is struggling, we'll hear rumors of him as a trade possibility for the Sox. I doubt that he would come back.

January 14, 201610 yr QUOTE (peavy44 @ Jan 14, 2016 -> 02:21 PM) I doubt that he would come back. Doesn't have a choice if he's traded here. That's fathom's point.

If the Sox are in contention and Saladino is struggling, Anderson will be up.
January 14, 201610 yr And then when the Sox are in contention and Anderson is struggling.. then maybe Alexei

January 14, 201610 yr I'd rather not see Anderson until 2017 at the earliest even if Saladino is struggling. If he's up that better mean he's killing it at AAA (.900 OPS with solid defense), and even then I'd almost still rather keep him down there the whole season.

January 14, 201610 yr Anderson will either be traded at the deadline or playing in Chicago this season.
January 14, 201610 yr Where is Desmond going to sign now? I can't think of a logical suitor besides us, and I can't see us doing that.

January 14, 201610 yr When the Sox pulled Sanchez out of Winter Ball to work on his SS skills, Alexei was a goner.
January 14, 201610 yr QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jan 14, 2016 -> 04:10 PM) When the Sox pulled Sanchez out of Winter Ball to work on his SS skills, Alexei was a goner. Sanchez and Saladino are placeholders until Anderson gets promoted, anyway.
January 14, 201610 yr QUOTE (knightni @ Jan 14, 2016 -> 03:11 PM) Sanchez and Saladino are placeholders until Anderson gets promoted, anyway. We all hope. It will be interesting to see what Alexei received. I think most of us assumed the Sox would just give him the $10 million this offseason.

January 14, 201610 yr San Diego usually isn't the place to go to show teams they were wrong when they figured you can't hit anymore.
January 14, 201610 yr I'd be curious to know what the Sox brass thought of Alexei as a person. Not that he's a bad guy or anything like that, but as a SS who made his fair share of mental mistakes, I wonder if they just wanted to part ways short of an ultra-low dollar figure.

The radio guys were definitely questioning his focus the first half of last year
January 14, 201610 yr Avi Garcia now has the longest position player tenure with the Sox - August 9, 2013.
