I just worry about spending big money on a catcher who is on the wrong side of 30.

If he puts up the same hitting line as Dunn at his age, that means he would put up a .159/.292/.327 in year five of this contract.

I don't get it. Jeter consistently has had below average range and fielding percentage, and nowhere close to leading the league in double plays.

Me too, but he'll only be 30 next year. A five year deal would take him through age 34. That's not too bad. Specially for a Sox fan, considering our two best catchers over the last thirty years were basically in their prime at 34.

So what is this Cuban's nickname going to be? We've had a comet, a missile, and a tank. Maybe go back to stellar objects with the Cuban Asteroid? Hmm, probably not a good idea to use a nickname with "steroid" in it.

IMO, the Sox sacrificed offense for defense at too many positions in 2013. That, in combination with guys who were supposed to hit not hitting (Konerko, Keppinger, Viciedo) just torpedoed the offense. The Sox definitely gave up offense for defense with Flowers and Beckham. You can argue they gave up offense for defense as well with Ramirez, who has been in steady decline offensively over the last few years. They went into the season with multiple holes in the lineup, and they likely would have struggled even if guys had played to career norms. I don't like the catching situation at all. I'd like to see an upgrade. But if they are not able to upgrade there, they have to find a way to upgrade 3B, LF and one of the middle IF positions, too. Or, they can keep the middle infield as is and pray Ramirez starts hitting again.

Thank you, I don't think people get this. Being replacement level is bad. It means you're the 22-25th guy on a bad team, riding the back of the bench waiting for someone better to take your spot.

Now that Abreu is signed, all Hahn has to do is sign Cano, Ellsbury and McCann and the White Sox will be back in the Playoffs in 2014. If Hahn signs those 3 players I will take my chances against anybody in the league next season.

Which publication said he was "one of the worst in the league?" Munchman weekly?

He was in the discussion on the fox sports annual piece and named by ESPN analysts in their season reviews as well. I linked a piece last year that went pretty in depth, too, when discussing the worst players in baseball, because people couldn't admit he was one of the worst regulars statistically. And that was last year. He just topped last year in bad-ness.

Going a little off-topic, I remember earlier in this thread that people were talking about the declining production of Ramirez. While this is indisputable (just look at the HR totals), how do you explain the plethora of doubles he hit in 2013? 39 doubles is a career high for him by a wide margin. Did it lead AL SS? He had the highest amount of hits in his career (albeit, with the highest amount of ABs as well), and I'm not too worried with the low RBIs last season since barely anyone could get on base for him to knock in in the first place. Third lowest K total, swiped 30 bags (a career high)
I guess what I'm getting at is that, at least in the case of Ramirez, I think that he's still got stuff left in the tank. Hopefully, with a better lineup to play with, Ramirez's production will increase.
