RatkoVarda Posted November 24, 2021 Author Share Posted November 24, 2021 Tender deadline moved up 2 days to avoid lockout, so will get a little more clarity on the roster then; assuming one of Garneau/Greiner will not be tendered, maybe both will not; Boyd is only big decision. Turnbull, Candy, Fulmer, Cisnero - yes HCastro, Jimenez, Reyes - sure why not Hutchinson, Niko, Krol - already gone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turnbull, Candy, Fulmer, Cisnero - yes HCastro, Jimenez, Reyes - sure why not Hutchinson, Niko, Krol - already gone I don't know if I can take another year of roller coaster riding with Jimenez. But here is an interesting thing I hadn't noticed: Joe's OPS at home against 104 batters was 518, on the road against 106 batters it was 1011! Not in the least because he walked 25 on the road but only 10 at home. Maybe they should just leave him at home when they go on road trips.

RandyMarsh Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 White Sox signed Kendall Graveman giving them another weapon out of their bullpen and are reportedly in the mix for Robbie Ray and Marcus Semien to play 2nd base. They may potentially widen the gap between us this offseason instead of us closing it like we hoped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Palmer-McNally-Cuellar i always disliked them because of 1983 and that people drooled over ripken and ignored trammell. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely, I suppose if they don't resign Rodon that Ray would essentially just be replacing his numbers from last year but Semien would be a major upgrade for them.

mtutiger Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 We'll see if they actually sign Semien, though.... seems like there are more logical landing spots for him than the White Sox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gehringer_2 Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 (edited) I don't know why a team would expect any special consideration from a guy they'd traded once.

What a rocketship of a roster that would be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
