southsider2k5 Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 Worked out pregame, getting closer. Avila is getting slowed down, he worked out today and felt a "tinge" according to Dan Hayes. Might start seeing a little more Narvaez. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthSideSox72 Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 I'm actually good with seeing Narvaez play a fair amount the rest of the way. Avila and Navarro are gone after this year anyway. Narvaez isn't going to be a starter (barring injuries), but I think he might be a legit MLB backup. Might as well give him some more time on the field, and maybe that's a job you don't have to worry about spending money on next year. Worst case, he sucks, and you are where you were to begin with.

Lip Man 1 Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 Don't think Avila will be back this season. Third time he's tweeked that hamstring since it was originally hurt. Probably for the best, he's not good anyway. Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 I wouldn't mind seeing Avila back next year. No need to see Navarro around here again, though. Narvaez seems a capable backup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jose Abreu Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 QUOTE (Jake @ Aug 12, 2016 -> 10:25 PM) I wouldn't mind seeing Avila back next year. No need to see Navarro around here again, though. Narvaez seems a capable backup. If Avila is back next year, Narvaez is your starting catcher. In other words, injuries will limit Avila to less than half of a season.

caulfield12 Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 Then Lawrie comes back and Saladino goes to the bench....Morneau playing for a contract with another team. They might as well let Saladino catch for as much difference as it will make. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They might as well let Saladino catch for as much difference as it will make. What is Lawrie's contractual status with the White Sox? I'm still not sure if Saladino can get on base enough (he currently doesn't) to be a regular player, but he does have ability and may improve; however, is he a bench player or an everyday 2B?

winninguglyin83 Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 Lawrie on his third year of arbitration in 2017, which means he has one more season with the Sox. Saladino likely a utility guy. Very valuable in that role, but doesn't get on base enough to be an every day player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saladino is not a 2B. 2B is very different from SS and 3B, which are his true positions. He hasn't looked as sharp at second as he has at those two.

caulfield12 Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 The problem is that Lawrie has been injury prone his entire career and he's not someone you can reliably count on for a 750ish ops. Saladino's closer to 675, but can he imrove to the 700-725 level? If so, there's no reason to just give the position to Lawrie for one more year only to get nothing in return when he leaves.

After I heard about it on the broadcast, I looked online. Stone made it sound like amputation was the probable outcome. The others said it would set him back a couple of days.

Jose Abreu Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 I for one am excited for 2017 Lawrie. We've seen his potential, he's better at taking walks, and I think we could see a 25-homer season from him if he stays healthy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchetman Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 Lawrie is what he is. The past five years he has put up OPS' between .706 and .729. Remarkably consistent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've seen his potential, he's better at taking walks, and I think we could see a 25-homer season from him if he stays healthy He's had 1 year in his career where he has stayed fully healthy/played >130 games, and every year of his career except his brief rookie stint he's had an OPS between .706 and .729. His walk rate has gone up this year, but so has his K-rate. He looks like one remarkably consistent, average 2b who gets hurt for a stint each year.
