They hired a moneyball hitting coach

yup. they are going that route imo. not spending like magic johnson, not rebuilding like theo..hahn imo may go with the beane blueprint. its a good formula, just not good enough to win a championship. spend a tad bit more than beane in the approach and keep a decent farm and they will be ok.

I don't want to spend big. Doesn't translate into championships, but moneyball hasn't worked in the postseason for the As either. But I'm good with getting a Saltalamacchia and an outfielder or making some trades and see where this team is.

Orioles catcher Matt Wieters is available but he's a Scott Boras client. Has 2 more years left on his deal but he'll want paid in 2 years.

Ya. I've heard we may trade pitching for a bat so maybe were a fit for Wieters.

Teams waiting for Cano to sign? Dying for some signings. :lol:

 

[BigSoxHurt35]

WTF does Cano signing have to do with everyone else? He's gona get a mega deal. He's only signing with one of two teams: Yanks or Dodgers.

 

[Capt. Serious]

Um, you see that sometimes when there is a big fish (FA) out there, the market is kinda slow.

 

[brett05]

I'm old. Older than just about everyone on the board and pretty sure everyone in the White Sox and Cubs forums. I don't recall there being much until the December Meetings anyway so I am not sure why folks are acting surprised the movement is slow.

I know that I just don't get it, it's not like 12 teams are waiting on him. I guess there's players waiting to see where he goes.
