Baron Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 QUOTE (Sox-35th @ Apr 7, 2017 -> 08:23 PM) Mid may can't come soon enough. Can you imagine swapping him with Saladino? I cant wait. He's got alot of eyes on him right now. Hope he can perform here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 QUOTE (Scoots @ Apr 7, 2017 -> 07:21 PM) Just a thought...i guess more realistically I would rather see May in C.F. with Luery Garcia in right, with Avi at DH. I would rather have the bett3r defense out there than the slim potential upside offensively with the left handed bar in Asche up there. Idk. That's fine, but they're not going to invest 300-350 at bats in Leury to determine he's the last guy on the roster. Just throw those AB's to anyone else, except Hawkins. Engel's not ready, so probably Liriano next. The other problem is four DH's in Avi, Abreu, Davidson and Asche. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 Hopefully Hawk on the road next week will give up the idea Abreu is ever going to be a competent 1b. He is what he is...have to accept it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chitownsportsfan Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 I've never seen a MLB 1B that has so many problems catching routine balls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 QUOTE (Baron @ Apr 7, 2017 -> 07:23 PM) Correct I remember a few years back the DRS was atleast bearably bad. Seems Viciedo had more outfield assists from LF than RF, fwiw. The problem is the LF gets considerably more action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, they are pretty solid up the middle and on the left side. The right side of the diamond however is a train wreck outside of Tyler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 "The odds are long, but here we go. Jose Quintana does his usual thing. James Shields suddenly starts pitching like the James Shields of at least 2014. Derek Holland makes 30 starts and has that one big year that's maybe buried deep inside him. Miguel Gonzalez is solid. Carlos Rodon suddenly turns into Steve Carlton, with the best slider in the game. Then Yoan Moncada comes up in June and is an immediate star. Boom. Print your playoff tickets." For Greg's optimism club. Yes, Moncada walks a lot more than expected, to an earlier point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chitownsportsfan Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 Tyler is making a case early to get rid of Todd (or move him to 1B) as soon as Moncada comes up. I think Tyler might have a "breakout" year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
