Bob Sacamano Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 I like it. Struggled last year but has hit lefties in the past. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lillian Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 Yes, he has been a very good hitter vs. lefties, in his career. Looks like a platoon partner for Palka. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChiSoxFanMike Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 Guyer is a career .274 hitter against LHP with an .824 OPS. This makes a lot of sense if they trade for Pederson. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Eloy is your LF, I'm not sure how else they line up if they get Joc (which seems unlikely). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lillian Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 I suspect that Eloy will be in RF, Jay in CF and Palka in LF, platooning with Guyer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 Guess we’ll see if they want to carry five outfielders, six if you count Leury. Probably should let Engel play everyday in Charlotte, there’s that 2-3% chance he can be a productive offensive player still. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GenericUserName Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 He was one of the guys I had on my list of potential platoon partners if we get Joc or just in general. Pretty awesome to be able to get him on a minor league deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
