*OFFICIAL* 2014 White Sox Thread - Abreu is a MONSTER (2 Viewers)

Nice signing of LaRoche. Should play well at the Cell.

Last time I thought this, Adam Dunn happened

was my first thought too.

 

[Limp Ditka]

Think I'd rather have taken a chance on a one year flier with Ike Davis for probably about $2-3m

Not exactly getting warm and fuzzy w this approach this team needs to resolve pitching holes and land players that can hit for average, steal bases and play defense. This line of thinking from Williams/Hahn is filling holes left behind from liabilities instead of moving forward by reinventing the lineup. This is the same old meatball mentality. I would have thought that they would be looking at building in quality youth. The Royals are going to run strong in the division and bringing the overpaid high risk high reward veteran slugger is just more of the same rhetoric. Williams wants Sox fans to dream again? Well I am dreaming that his lame ### was long gone because his tired old fix the gaps that did not really work is pathetically old and tiring. Keep dreaming...

you could do a lot worse than Sale, Samardzija, Quintana as your top 3

Now you just need 7 bats and half a bullpen.

If only they could score runs like the Yanks

Talking some ball just makes me feel a little warmer on this frigid night in the northeast.

Lineup isn't horrible

CF - Eaton

SS - Alexei

1B - Abreu

DH - LaRoche

RF - Avasil

3B - Gillespie

LF - Viciedo

C - Flowers

2B - Semien (likely gone for Samardzija)

They'll be desperate for a 2B and I don't want to endure another year of Viciedo. Bench will be barren and lots of ??? In the bullpen

Kenny Williams has been offered the Jays CEO position

[Limp Ditka]

Wow,

Jerry's not ducking around

 

[Limp Ditka]

And all of this is being left in the hands of Robin Ventura

 

[Power Monster]

Hmmm have to give some credit on the Shark move but that bullpen and the bottom of the rotation needs help. Is there trust in Flowers? Still a lot of questions but I like this move.

That would be a blessing although it would not make my boy Geddy very happy

The White Sox now have a ridiculous rotation. Also their bullpen has seen 2 enormous upgrades in Duke and Robertson. Not sure what else you could really ask out of Hahn.

I think this deserves an official 2015 thread.

Who's gonna do it?

Did not see the Duke and Robertson moves but what else were these idiots going to do - keep being in the group of bottom feeders in the AL?
