Jake Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 1 minute ago, Dick Allen said: I wrote in the game thread move him to 1B, but I agree with you. If Collins has to move to 1b, and it looks more and more like Vaugn is the Sox pick, somehow, some way, Eloy is going to have to learn how to play a passable LF. I had heard he wasn't very good with the glove, but he looks lost out there. What's interesting to me about his defense is all the issues seem to crop up when he's either near a wall or other players. Sort of like you would expect with someone who hasn't played out there before, everything gets screwed up when they have to keep their eye on two different things. On the routine plays he's really smooth, which isn't saying much, but there are a lot of bad outfielders who are bad because they struggle with routine flies. Eloy, so far, is really bad on everything except the routine flies and most of the screwups have looked like he's worried about a wall or another player. That's theoretically fixable but you wonder why it wasn't fixed before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flavum Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 He’s bad because he gets hurt every year. I’m sorry, but he’s terrible out there. They can try him out there the rest of the season, but he’ll probably get hurt again...or nobody should be surprised if he does get hurt again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He may be terrible there too, but he won’t be sprinting into any walls or diving as much. He’s an injury waiting to happen in the outfield.

Book it. Dude signed a huge contract, realized his dream and lost his Grandma in a short period of time. He will be back stronger than ever before. There are so many trolls her now it's unreal. Why this post gets idiots laughing at it is ridiculous. A guy loses a family member and they think it's funny. Insensitive louts. I hope if in the near future if you lose someone dear to you that no one laughs about it. Orlando I gave you some love because the idiots cannot win. As a matter of fact .

You have to keep running him out there. At this point you definitely need to keep running him out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg775 Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 That's a fairly bad injury. PTATC can tell us, but I bet you he won't be back until second week of June. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PTATC can tell us, but I bet you he won't be back until second week of June. Having played a lot of basketball I had my share of sprained ankles. My first year of college at UICC ( now UIC) I was working the Easter Seals Telethon as part of a group from the campus Newman Center. I was at a basketball court inside the Hotel in downtown when one of my HS basketball team mates showed up and since their was no one else around we played one on one. I was in dress up clothes with wing tips . Needless to say that wasn't a smart move and I was carted away brought to a hospital then back to the Telethon on crutches.

For one thing I don't agree as I've seen some signs of being able to him at the MLB level... though his defense has been poor. Just the statement "sucked so far" in and of itself screams ignorance. It's way too early to know anything or make a series of negative posts about what a player "really is." Even as bad has his defense has been it's too early to give up on that part as well. Again, I never called him a bust or declared what he "really is". Eloy has been terrible so far this year and the numbers don't lie. In what world is a -0.7 war and 81wRC+ plus good?

Too many Tom Longo's. Why is it unreadable? There has been a lot more negativity toward the Sox which is justified completely. If the negatively is what I deem stupid or unreasonable I just read the post quickly. If somebody thinks Eloy has been a bust, so what? They said the same thing about Timmy and Moncada and they are right on track to stardom. ... Cue somebody saying my posts are awful. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you been watching the games? Have you seen Eloy in LF? Has he looked good to you there? He has gotten hurt twice already and botched numerous plays. He wasn’t known to be a good defender in the minors and his major league appearances are proving it out. People who want to move him to 1B or DH want to do so to minimize injury to Eloy and keep his bat in the lineup. This is not trolling whatsoever. This is doing what is best for the team going forward. Edited April 29, 2019 by Harper2Sox 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure who the "3-5 years" timetable is aimed at or what a "so-called prospect" is but maybe just take up model trains for a bit, much more soothing.
