Yes, he homered, I know. Just because he does good things every once in a while (he's 3-26 with 8 Ks since homering twice in the Bronx) doesn't mean I feel the need to watch every one of his at-bats. He pounds the ball into the ground, he flails hopelessly at breaking balls, etc. Yes, I think he will get it together and be a star, but right this moment, there's nothing making me want desperately to watch him hit. Also, his defense in the last game sucked.

The dude has like 75 career MLB ABs.  And he will never be a good defensive player.

jesus, i'm a cynical fuck but enjoy the journey man eloy is going to be at very least a 3 WAR hitter sooner than later.

I actually don’t know how well his skills will translate towards WAR. He’s going to have negative base running and defense. He can be a big contributor despite the typical big WAR numbers.

This is a valid point. Maybe if he moves to 1B he could get better defensive WAR?

slashing 290/330/550 is worth about 3 unless his defense and baserunning are historically bad.   He can do that.

I honestly want to see where Engel stacks up to some of the worst hitters the Sox have ever had and compare the numbers. 

I’m sure he ranks pretty high up there with the bad. If Cordell can play CF he may take his job.
