I'd like to see it as a morbid curiosity in a rebuilding season, but I doubt he'd be even below average there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no idea, and doubt it is related. Abreu has taken infield at 3B every year he has been here.

Jose Abreu Posted July 22, 2017 Author Share Posted July 22, 2017 I guess it doesn't hurt for Yolmer to get 3B reps, but I'd much rather see him at SS and Saladino at 3B instead of the other way around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doing a great job of not chasing pitches since he's been up. Also, holy cow is Yolmer's average plummeting. Remember when some thought he would push Moncada off 2nd?

Ozzie for Manager Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 22, 2017 -> 06:31 PM) With his performance thus far and back issues, Saladino, unless the Sox see absolutely no hope his status should be hold. Could Pelphrey be a decent middle reliever next year. Through the first 2 innings in all his starts he is 34 innings and 10 runs. That is if he isnt scored upon next inning today. And through the 3rd innings of starts he will have 51 innings 17 runs if not scored on through 3 today. After that he goes about 26 innings and 26 runs. He just doesnt have the strength anymore to be a starter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
