Leonard Zelig Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 If we could get the rosters expanded to 27, a Davidson/Palka DH platoon might be really nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soxfan49 Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 I thought I heard that Palka was crushing the ball in the MIN organization and then got injured. Maybe now that he's healthy, he's proving himself in the MLB and perhaps he can be something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justBLAZE Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 Palka in polish translates to baseball bat. Literally. He's destined. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 Knowing the White Sox, it's more likely to translate to Polka instead of "baseball bat." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dam8610 Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 With all the OFs completely crushing it in the minors right now, Idk that a "Schwarber" is necessary. This could be that left handed power bat that KW is always so desperate for, though, which, if so, getting it out of the way now so they don't try to trade half the farm for one would be good.

Wanne Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 I actually thought that question yesterday. He runs like those old Babe Ruth clips lol...and is probably similar to Schwarbs in the OF...but I swear I stop what I'm doing when he gets up to the plate. The ball just screams off his bat. I love the guy! Glad to see he's finally getting a chance to show what he can do. I swear...if he gets sent down and they keep Engel and Thompson. He's the lefty power bat the Sox have craved...and they might have stumbled onto something pretty good. He just got caught up in Minnesota's OF numbers. I recall hearing/reading somewhere the Twins hated getting rid of him. Love me some Palka tho!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eminor3rd Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 Of course yes -- in that our fanbase will overrate him vastly. Lol, sorry. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmags Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 One thing that has happened this year is as much as I wanted this year to allow room for a "surprise" player to happen (a la last year), I also would have zero confidence they are any good and worth keeping spots open for beyond a year.
