centerfieldsixers Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 a freakin meaningless tweet about A player taking ground balls at his natural position and a leak about an offer from the Padres just sent this board into a tailspin. everyone is acting like were out of Machado now. What has changed since from November? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 I suppose tomorrow Yoan will take grounders at 2B and we'll have rapid fire speculation about what that means 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 Yoan made like 20 errors last year almost entirely on fielding the ball. His throws were fine. Now you give him a more difficult throw while also giving him less of a chance to showcase his range. To add to this, his bat went from the chance to be well above average at 2nd to average at 3rd. Nothing about this potential move seems like a smart decision. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would make sense to have Moncada be able to play both 2B and 3B with Davidson gone. Pretty sure there is room for both talking about the current roster. C Castillo, McCann 1B Abreu, Alonso 2B Sanchez 3B Moncada SS Anderson LF Eloy CF Jay RF Palka And then 3 spots for Engel, Rondon, and Leury. Edit: not going to lie, that was disappointing to type out. Edited February 18, 2019 by soxfan2014 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although, the MLB network radio people keep saying the Yankees will somehow jump in and get him. Sounds like the White Sox are slipping away from both Machado and Harper from all recent reports. Not good. It will be yet another offseason of false hope and disappointment for us White Sox fans. The thought of a full season of Moncada at 3B is frightening. If he played sub-par defense at a much easier 2B position, how can we expect him to perform well at the hot corner? #WorriedSoxFanHere Rebuilding is a 4 year plan. They are starting year 3.

We're rolling with this team into the season. Embrace that high draft pick. See...I disagree. The only difference between now and last week is...they guys started to kick the ball around on the field. The season technically started for baseball activity and that's what's taking place. The teams in the race for Harper/Machado are still in the race because they haven't signed, but SD and Philly are rolling their guys out on to a field now too because it's time to do that...they aren't punting on the FA signings because it's February 18th and it's time to roll with who you've got. I don't think what takes place right now in AZ has anything to do with what our roster composition will be for Opening Day. The guys we have on our roster right now are getting off the buses and shaking off rust, that's about it...if anything...the more the decision makers look around at these guys now, it's becoming more obvious to them how much we need a true 3rd baseman/infield solution.

chitownsportsfan Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 This is some bullshit. What a fucking clown show. Hey let's fuck with Moncada! Luckily everybody knows the MLB instruction and internal scouting on this club is A+ so I'm sure the transition will go completely smoothly. If the Sox think he's a 3B who am I to argue! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those drafted prospects will take 3-4 to get to the MLB, while some of the trades guys will get there a little earlier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
