Sox sign Matt Lindstrom

[WindyCityFlyer]

Per Jon Heyman.

[Muttman73]

ok, who is he?

A fairly decent set-up guy. You haven't heard of him before?

[1-800-STFU]

Coolio, he is consistently above average.

[DaBears1990]

Not a bad signing at all.

Not a long term option at 32 but good for a season or two.

[JDIsMyGod23]

If Reed can, ya know, pitch well, out bullpen might be one of the bests in the league.

[Muttman73]

I've heard the name, made no big impression. Sounds good though, depth.

He s a pretty good replacement for Myers. I like it.

[soxguy1]

very solid move. especially if you consider that he's really the fourth righty behind Reed, Crain, and Jones. The sox definitely should have a very strong pen.

Beckham for Carpenter next?

First impression is it's a good signing. That could change once the monetary figures come out, but I don't think the Sox are paying more than $3-4 million/year for him so I like it. Reed, Thornton, Crain, Lindstrom, Jones, Veal and Axelrod is a pretty good bullpen. I put Axelrod in there because if Santiago isn't the 5th starter (and I doubt he will be unless Quintana melts down in ST), I think the White Sox will send him back to Charlotte to keep starting in case a starter gets hurt. Axelrod is a solid long relief option. Most games don't recquire someone to eat innings so he'll be used sparingly and shouldn't cause any problems.

Pretty much this

[DaSox_05]

Nice! I didnt even see Heyman's tweet on anyone else's on this. Has the contract been made public yet?

[sager729]

I haven't found the terms yet. I was going to try and tweet Heyman and see.

[quade36]

Love this signing as a replacement for Myers.
