You Be The GM For The White Sox Offseason Thread

[DewsSox79]

Its the fan's turn to play GM.

What do you do to this team? Who do you trade? Who do you sign? Do you rebuild or buy?

 

[DewsSox79]

Il start.

Philosophy: get fans in the seats, win before JR gets to old.

Trade Rios
Replace Rios with Swisher
Trade Viciedo, 1 year left on deal and he is young as **** with a tremndous upside.
Replace Viciedo with Hamilton
If peavy is cheap bring him back
Sign the greinke, the one the sox have a hard on for
trade crain, thornton use nate jones and veal as replacements to save money
try to bring back AJ, but if he leaves ok.
Resign youk

fantasy world....but if you want fans this is how it should be done.

 

[Capt. Serious]

trade for A-Rod.

I know.

When you think about the remainder it almost makes me laugh.

At least his deal is actually front loaded which is different then basically any baseball contract that ever seen.

true. I mean sorianos deal was bad but thats all it was...just bad...prince fielder, pujols etc are really really really bad deals.

 

[DewsSox79]

Im going to make a sweet fantasy lineup and tell me how bad ass this would look.

De Aza
Rios
Hamilton
Konerko
Dunn
Pierzynski
Viciedo
Ramirez
Beckham

SP:
Greinke
Sale
Peavy
Danks
Floyd/axeface/santiago/quintana

Thats making 2 splashes and retaining AJ while moving Viciedo to 3rd.

one can have a fantasy team right. Wish my team would go nuts with spending. hell...combining slashed prices and 2 premier signings one would have to think they would hit 3 million in attendance.

I thought you hated Beckham :lol:

I do but that lineup could tolerate an asshole at the plate. his defense would make up for it and it wouldnt be as bad with that insane lineup.

Fair enough. Too bad you can't make Beckham the designated fielder and put the pitcher in his lineup spot sometimes :lol:
