Now call for the bunt

Call for the bunt Tony

Borrero with another hit. I know the power has come yet but I think his play so far has been among the most impressive by a Sox prospect this season. Hits now in 15 of I believe 18 games after missing out on playing in the DSL bc of injury.

Far to old and advanced for the DSL

Kopech and Cease are both hands down better and its not close. Lynn, Gio and Cueto are probably equal to Montas overall (assuming Gio shakes off the bad stretch)

You didn't give any reason as why he won't/shouldn't be called up Monday/Thursday. Eloy didn't reinjure/hurt himself as you say and its embarrassing to see a Sox fan say that. Eloy just had general soreness of say someone exercising the first time in a year so the Sox decided to give him a little rest to work through it. I already gave you the reasons that he will be back either Monday or Thursday (barring anything new). Eloy is only still down to gain his timing and get used to living and playing with that surgically repaired hammy. His timing is looking good with a HR, 3 walks and 2 hits over 104 mph in his last 3 games. So now it's going to come down to how he feels. Does he feel comfortable running on the hammy. It looks like he does. Thus imo he is ready. I've also already shown you he is far past the rehab time frame of say Moncada. When on a rehab assignment production is meaningless as we saw with Lynn. For hitters you want them seeing the ball well (which Eloy has), hitting the ball hard (which Eloy has), and feeling comfortable pushing his body (reports are he has).

If he is really 5'8" then no he will not be a true power threat. Some of those height listings are off so no idea how tall he actually is. But do not count on any short player being a power threat unless they are the 0.0000000000001% outlier

Bc I know more about this stuff then probably most everyone here (not everyone). Monday it will be imo assuming all goes well tonight and tomorrow. But Thursday would be the fallback/Sox thing to do. Eloy is only still down to get his timing (which he seems to be getting) and to get used to playing on his surgically repaired hammy. Also if you wanna look at a semi comparison. Moncada missed roughly a month and had about a week rehab assignment. Eloy missed what double that and is going to have close to 3 times the rehab assignment. Seems about right based on that as well.

Eloy with a 104.5 mph single off a major league young guy doing his rehab as well I'll wager Eloy is back Monday (Thursday if the team is stupid and decides more rest/rehab assignment are necessary)

10+ out i can see a few guys being shipped out but not much. I really think we will be within 10 at the deadline and thus stand pat for the finale run to the playoffs

Price tag..... He is still a really good pitcher under contract for up to 2 more seasons, the asking price is probably way to high for teams to pay. Not to mention the fact that the Sox are NEVER going to trade away any piece that helps them compete if they are within 10 of either the division or the WC

I'm not planning for the future when today is still within reach

The Sox will 100% be standing pat at the deadline if they are still within 10 games of the division and/or the WC

Eloy the groundball hitter is still a better hitter than YoYo Leury Sheets Haseley Pollock Zavala McGuire Harrison At times better than Robert and Burger. Until he is back in the majors we don't know if we have the groundball Eloy or the good Eloy. Groundball Eloy is easily fixable. The first step is firing the dumbass who turned him into groundball Eloy No one is trading for Lynn and the Sox will NEVER trade him or Cueto unless they are going for a pretty big rebuild and found a perfect situation to do so. Until they are maybe 15 or more back they will be going for it.

Lmao you are delusional. The Sox are NOT trading any SP to bring in a potential downgrade. Eloy is an immediate upgrade over everyone in that lineup except maybe the top 3-4. If you think he is not then just trade everyone now and go through another 10 year rebuild

Bc he would be in the bullpen if we got him as he couldn't crack the rotation and the team clearly needs power as we are at the bottom of HRs in the league And the Sox need to get rid of all of AAA players

We don't want or need Montas so that a big no on the Sox side

Id expect Eloy back on Monday vs the Twins or at the latest on Thursday vs the Tigers

Him and Cueto were the 2 big ones I wanted in the offseason (not counting the actual ones that we knew were never an option for cheap Jerry)

Mercedes is in AAA so he won't be playing barring a late/unexpected callup

You obviously can't read. Id suggest trying to get some lessons in that sooner than later

I said closer to that than an 18 year old that's only played in the DSL. As he has played in the minors in Japan which is closer to AA. And he did play in the bigs in Japan for a couple games which is probably closer to AAA.
