ChiSoxFanMike Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 16, 2016 -> 09:09 PM) Sale just gave up 7 hits to 10 batters. Sale can't melt down like that. The game would've been entirely different had Saladino made a good throw and gotten out of the inning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg775 Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 QUOTE (StrykerSox @ Sep 17, 2016 -> 03:09 AM) Tyler has a .672 career OPS. If it wasn't for his last 17 games, he'd be right above that mark this year too. The dude is f***ing garbage, but hey, let's start him over Brett Lawrie next year. It's cool- we're getting used to the cellar. He's not garbage. That's unfair. He'll probably get a key hit before this game is over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. We need to spend September trying out our garbage heap of useless middle infielders who were awesome White Sox prospects but never would have been noticed in a decent farm system. Like Carlos Sanchez here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flavum Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 (edited) I like Saladino in a rebuilding year situation. He's versatile, and could put up decent numbers. Lawrie is a definite Non tender candidate. Edited September 17, 2016 by flavum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to get rid of s***ty players so that our team can win. I don't like that we accept mediocrities like Tyler. I get that we have other holes to fill, but that doesn't mean we should approve of junk. And we definitely shouldn't let him start every day.

He's 3-for-4 tonight for gawd sakes and hitting about .290. He has pop in his bat. People thought Semien sucked too. The man has 25 home runs!!!! Can you say fire Hahn for trading Semien!!

Semien doesn't even get on base 30% of the time. That's what we need! Saladino's OPS was .674 until he had this good 18 game stretch. It's a fluke, just like he had at the beginning of his career.

caulfield12 Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 (edited) The only thing surprising here is that the blown save can't come from the White Sox. If the Royals avoid Soria, it's possible they avoid the same outcome, just maybe. Abreu should have tried to work Herrera a bit more because they're asking him to go multiple innings, but swung at the first pitch.

Kind of amusing now that we're suddenly touting Semien and Saladino as player development success stories. In typical Sox fashion, Lawrie will make $5-6 million next year in arbitration, get hurt, negating a negligible trade return...and Saladino will end up with a 675 ops at 2b and they still won't have the position covered for 2018.
