Aoki is a cheaper alternative that offers roughly the same value as melky, he's still very much on the table.

3 years, 45 mil

DD is sitting in his office reading a Ten Little Baseball Players poem.......

And he's getting real close to the last line.....

........and then there were none.

Good for them, better for us.

White Sox gonna be good.

The White Sox again?!? Wow I really thought he was going to Seattle.

Chicago is "winning the offseason". Which of course means they'll finish 4th again.

I still think Rios is the fit. Injury plagued season which could be upside this year, needed speed, hits lefties fairly well and fits into our budget on a 1 year deal. A much better option than Gomes or Morse who are are riskier plays with less of a chance for a solid year.

Just pay for a FA instead of using a trade chip to get a Marlon Byrd for 1 year.

I think they could add Rios and Morse.

DD and Buck (whether they really mean it or not) have said over and over they feel they have better in house options then what's out there. The only move they seem in on is Delmon Young. And they can't even get that done. Aoki doesn't do much for me. I'd be good with Rios. Rasmus will almost certainly be a Mariner or Ranger now. But hey, it's only December.

I didn't really want Melky so that doesn't bother me. There's not many proven regulars left and it's starting to look like Dan isn't after that type of player.

That's where im at.

I believe under the circumstances this thread should be titled, "he gawn."

Haha. Cabrera is on my list of guys I couldn't root for even if he is an Oriole.
