Wow, surprised he came to the Sox. I bet this shuts the door for Konerko. He had a great career.

I hope he turns out better than Dayan Viciedo did for the Sox.

It aint over til it's over.
Also, I have a feeling he will have some similarities to Viciedo, no speed, no defense, should be a DH/1B. Amazing to me that he will get DOUBLE what Puig and Cespedes got, and they can both play defense, throw, and RUN. This contract smells of a desperate team, in MAJOR need of some talent.

Exactly........
Wasn't too long ago I was told that Albert Pujols was a Marlin, and I will never forget Rick Bucher announcing a deal between the Bulls and Lakers, with the Bulls landing Kobe. Thanks Rick...

Nah, I would actually love it if they sign him. And with the situation they are in, I would do whatever it took to sign him, IF, IF, IF, I had total confidence that he will hit .280+ and with 35 HR+ a year. He is not providing anything but the bat, which is totally fine, as long as the bat is 60+ on both hitting and power. If not, go sign Mike Morse instead and save the money for someone else.

It will be interesting to see what happens. He would be a big help in a lackluster lineup. Hopefully he can wake Viciedo up if he does sign.

Yeah, that lineup looks a lot different if they can sign them both (Abreu and Granderson)....

Well, if he translates to the MLB, he's worth way more than 11 million/year alone just on hitting. If not, they were 30+ under .500 anyway.

Geez, .453 with 33 home runs and 93 RBIs in just 66 games.
I know the Cuban league is far inferior to MLB, but those are video game numbers.
Do they test for PEDs in Cuba? Serious question.

Here is a pretty interesting article from Jim Margalus from southsidesox.com
Jose Abreu: The White Sox's logical leap of faith - South Side Sox
[MENTION=2258]longbomberz[/MENTION] what do you think. (since we are basically the only sox fans here)

I hope he gets off to a horrible start so I might be able to afford his chrome auto. Ha.

I suppose it's somewhat reassuring that if the Sox weren't alone if he turns out to be a bust.

"Not known which four clubs bid between $63M and $66M for Abreu. But told that #WhiteSox’s bid was not excessive relative to others’."
