2018 Starting Outfield

[hyatt151]

Right now the only thing that seems certain is that Avisail will be our RF. Is a 20 year old Jimenez ready? The organization needs to be sure IMO, but I think he'll have a chance. It all depends on how well he handles AAA pitching. So I will say yes Jimemez is our LF. CF is not ready internally. So it's a mix of guys like Engel, May, Garcia, Tilson, etc. I think we stay pat and not look outside for this position and go with what we can muster up.

You better believe he is!!! I'll go out on a line. If Jimenez starts 2018 playing everyday, he will put up better numbers than Moncada!

Considering arbitration, Sox payroll should be at around 75 million!! Compared to the Dodgers, that's a big difference in Wampum!

The real tragedy about that is. 80% of the Sox fans excited about the rebuild will spend 95% of the years. at home, watching the games on television. That's not mean, just a stone cold fact.

True for any team really.

But what the Sox spend per fanny thru the gate, I am going to guess it's top 5-10

Ha ha ha ha. Yeah. Put a shit product on the field and watch all of these fans put their fannies in the seats. That's the ticket, Brett. Good logic all around.

I don't think you understand the words I typed.

Um. I believe when you put a good product out, you get more sales. Baseball is no different.

I no longer think you don't, I know you don't.

Oh Brett. You're a legend in your own mind.

Other than Avi there probably won't be set starters. You'll probably see Leury, Engel, Tilson, and Palka (dude they claimed from the Twins) all get starting time.

So, which outfield prospects will be called up in August/September for the White Sox? Will Eloy be there? Will Robert be up to AA/AAA? Where will Rutherford be? Will Avi be traded? Will Yelich be a part of the Sox moving forward?

Anderson & Giolito or Garcia with a young arm for Yelich?

ANderson, Garcia, and a young single A arm is a deal I would do.

 

[nickofypres]

Marlins won't do that, tho.

Not sure when Eloy or Robert make it to Chicago even just as September call ups.

I would love that if the White Sox were willing to pony up the $300 Million for Machado. You get Yelich to join Jimenez/Robert/Adolfo in the outfield and Machado to replace Anderson at SS. I have nothing against Anderson, but if Machado wants to play SS, and you can get another solid building block under team control, it's definitely worth it. However, dealing Anderson would be contingent upon Machado being interested in coming to the South Side.

If our hitting prospects hit on 35% of them and our pitching does what it does, this is going to become a destination place for Free Agents
