February 17, 201610 yr How is this for an opening question... Would you be OK if the White Sox didn't sign another OF, if they used that money instead to go over their 2016 international bonus pool allotment?
February 17, 201610 yr It's probably way, way too late to make the decision to go over the 2016 international budget

I would like to give Avisail Garcia the opportunity to play RF in 2016 for the Sox. Let's go after some international talent and also keep our draft picks
February 17, 201610 yr Yes. I'm growing more comfortable with the idea of Avi in RF to (at least) start the season.

As for the question, I'd rather they spend the money on 2016 upgrades instead of long-term players. 2016/2017 are important years for the Sox to contend, and if things go bad this year, we could be looking at some massive rebuilding project.
February 17, 201610 yr I am getting used to the idea of just getting a platoon partner for Avi. Like, Wil Venable or something low $ like that. At least its some form of competition, even if very low ceiling.
February 17, 201610 yr If it were one or the other, id much rather have an established MLB player. Intl 16 year olds are likely to never even make the MLB.
February 17, 201610 yr Sure, if we went all out like the Braves or brought in a player with the upside of Moncada...
