2012/2013 White Sox Offseason Thread

If they're revocable then the Sox can just pull him back and retain him, si?

Yeah if I remember they are called optional waivers, and it is for guys with a certain amount of service time but still have options left. I don't think he has enough service time to refuse the optional assignment, but I am just guessing at this point.

Jeff Keppinger would be nice.

There are about 30 teams saying that right now is the deal. He is a real bench guy to have around, and just about every team could use him. Interested to see how much he is able to net in this new market environment.

i want johnson!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and not the cawk variety

Sox need a guy like Keppinger not Johnson.

Power isn't the Sox problem. Making more contact is.

he is more than a bench guy.

115 games is more than a sample size to go along with 418 PAs to have a slash line of: 9 HRs .325/.367 w/.806 OPS.

He had a very good season, but he does have a pretty solid track record. I think you are far more likely to see the low 700 OPS guy then an 800 OPS guy that he was this year. He could be a "starter", but I think he is more in the mold of the guy who finds three or four starts a week at various spots.

Beckham will be the starter because he's cheap.
