2013 White Sox Team News And Discussion Thread

We need a 3b bad. I would also take Cano for 2b, but we don't have the fan base to support his salary.

 

[nickofypres]

I expect Viciedo to get locked up in a few months.

Lets see that OBP go up a bit.

25 HR, and a 300 OBP isn't anything to brag about. Kubel, Cuddyer, Garret Jones, Morales, and much more are all out there.

He'll get at least 20 million a year, prolly more around the 25 million range. He'll either stay in NY or go to the Dodgers.

 

[waldo7239117]

If we could add one impact player via FA or trades (realistically) who would ya pick?

It's hard to say since the Sox have no farm system. A guy that I think would be perfect would be Chase Headley. But I can't see the Sox having enough for him or winning the bidding war.

I wasn't bashing the Sox, damn! I mean if you want to trade the prospects that have the best chance of making the MLB, go for it and you may get a player. But for a veteran agng, I don't think that will be smart. The Sox are already an aging team and will be on the decline soon. Not basing the Sox again.

People say that, a lot, but that isn't true at all.

15 people on the team are 30 or under.

rios is a monster that is all

 

[Capt. Serious]

I want Santiago in the rotation. Axelrod blows against potent offense's.

The lineup is the fifth oldest in baseball right now, third in the league. Pitching is a little better with all the kids in the bullpen which brings the age to 18th oldest in baseball.

 

[BigSoxHurt35]

Axelrod is a decent guy that should be in the bullpen. Not a starter. Not good by the organization to have this staff behind Sale and Peavy. Gavin is so inconsistent. Axelrod isn't impressive. I like Quintana hopefully he develops

I want to give credit to Capt. He missed the point of salary, but he was the only one supporting Rios last year and this.

 

[Capt. Serious]

I stuck with Rios since he's been here. The guy is a solid baseball player.

Plenty wanted his ass gone, but they'd be in deep shit already this season if it wasn't for him.

Finances of baseball changed. He wasn't worth $12 million a season two, three years ago, even when he had good years. Now because of the higher and higher prices of contracts out there, $12 million for Rios is a fair contract.

Well that and at 31 he decided to put up career numbers. The contract looks awesome right now if he continues to produce at this level.

 

[Capt. Serious]

Time to discuss how pathetic Dunn has been.

 

[brett05]

And the other 6 starters that can't hit their weight

 

[Capt. Serious]

I'm specifically talking about Dunn, given the amount of coin he's getting paid.

Another 0'fer today. Go get Jason Kubel please.

 

[DewsSox79]

And the other 6 starters that can't hit their weight

exactly.

 

[BigSoxHurt35]

This whole team sucks. I cant even watch them. I was going to order the baseball package but thank god i didn't. I knew we wouldn't be that great but thought we'd atleast be tolerable to watch. Outside of Rios it isn't.
