He is...

Interesting. I guess I view Leury as being more of a strong definition of utility than Yolmer.

Is Yolmer a utility player? Doesn't utility player mean bench guy, or is it another term used for someone who can play multiple positions? Because last I checked Yolmer is and has been our starting third baseman since opening day, and rightfully so.

wtf

Yeah, in this day and age, they are hittable, especially if the hitter knows what to expect. Maybe more effective for a reliever, but for a starter, he needs a lot more than just being able to throw hard. He needs to learn how to command his offspeed and use it strategically. Which, in my opinion, he can learn in the majors. I just think they are looking for results from Kopech right now. Could be wrong, but just my opinion on why he isn't up yet. Of course, if Covey continues to pitch the way he is pitching tonight, they won't call him up until, my guess, July or August, especially with Rodon coming back. However, if one of our starters gets injured, I bet Kopech is the next in line to get the call.

I know he is working on his changeup and he does have a good slider. The command is the issue, you are correct.

WHY IS EVERYONE GETTING HURT OR SICK OR WHATEVER. This has got to be the worst injury/illness related season in my 15 years of being a White Sox fan.

Yeah 100 pitches only 57 strikes. Gotta get better at finding the zone if he is going to compete. Hard fastballs at the major league level won't do anything unless the pitcher has a nasty offspeed pitch to compliment it...which he currently is working on.

Damn Engel is just such a buzzkill

That place is empttyyyy

Great play by Yolmer there and the pick by Jose. That was reminiscient of Crede/Konerko

Yeah, I think it's time to send Eloy to AAA. Screw waiting for Robert to push up one of the A ball outfielders, Eloy does not belong in that league.

Hopefully Castillo warming up Machado

Makes you wonder if Melky was still available...

Did Zavala get hurt? I see he was pinch hit for after just one AB...as a DH

Weather aside, our lineup facing a lefty with an ERA over 5 and ReyLo on the mound,I'm predicting we win 6-2 with a Matty D homer or 2. Abreu continues his hot streak.

His profile says 2B but today he was playing left.

Jake Elmore up. Jimenez to AAA?

Great night for Kopech and Cease on the farm. Seems like Dunning has collected himself after a rocky first inning. Basabe and Booker with homers. Eloy officially in a slump.

Did you see the fangraphs article on him? He is like one of the best hitters in the league. More than a serviceable DH.

Matt Davidson's transformation is quite amazing.

I heard some rumblings that they may try Yolmer in the outfield. What would be the purpose of this? To give him more versatility? Or maybe to make some room in the infield for next season for a free agent?

Uh oh. Moncada might be benched for not hustling all the way

Our offense isn't that bad

Well, he's running out of chances to prove himself.
