Buehrle>Wood Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 .770 OPS last year and can play CF. May as well just put him on the ML roster directly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GenericUserName Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 (edited) There seems to have been a ton of injuries and turnover at Charlotte lately. Also Casey Gillaspie is listed as on the suspended list, so I don't know what's up with that. EDIT: Just saw future sox said temp inactive list. Still wonder what's up.

Dick Allen Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 The more OF help they sign for Charlotte, the less likely Eloy Jimenez will ever be a Charlotte Knight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richie Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 I watched probably 120 Tigers games last season, living just outside of Detroit. Presley is obviously nothing to be excited over. However, he is head/shoulders better than Engel/Thompson. As in, he actually has a place on a good chunk of the league's MLB rosters. I would welcome him with open arms as an every day player in CF over Engel. I just can't watch it anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think Presley is longed for AAA. Another 2-3 games of Engel's garbage and he'll be a White Sock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last I checked, Thompson has been about 50 OPS points WORSE than Engel, which is just scary. I don't think that he is THAT bad, but he sure hasn't shown otherwise at the major league level for quite some time now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreenSox Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 The guy is 32, had a great year (for him) in 2017, but was sporting OPS in the .600s and .500s between 2012-2016, and has zero chance to be part of the future. He's not the guy who should be in Chicago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jose Abreu Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 10 hours ago, Dick Allen said: The more OF help they sign for Charlotte, the less likely Eloy Jimenez will ever be a Charlotte Knight. I agree with the line of thinking but I'd be surprised because Hahn said a couple weeks ago that he'd likely be promoted to AAA in a couple weeks (from then, meaning around now) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Sacamano Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 So if Leury's injury yesterday makes him miss time, does he possibly see a quick promotion? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this point, both Thompson and Engel are quite safe on the MLB roster. There is legit no one to take their spots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not the guy who should be in Chicago. I've asked you this before, and you didn't answer. Who else do you suggest they call up? AAA is barren with young talent and calling up Eloy at this point is idiotic. So please...inform us who GM Greensox would give the nod to!
