zisk Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 Is it time to release Adam Engel? Is it time to play Charlie Tilson for a few months? Tilson is probably just a AAAA player but so what. He's worked hard to come back from a devastating injury and should be rewarded. I think after 3 years, every one knows AE will never hit enough to matter. It's time for a new face and Tilson is the best available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kwolf68 Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 A couple years ago I saw in Engel a little bit of what I now see in Harrison Bader, a great defensive player with just enough hit tool to be a solid MLB player. Bader has more power, but there are a lot of similarities. Bader struggles against righties a lot, but manages "just enough" with his good lefty splits to look like he's going to hit in the .260 range as a pro player. A .260 hitter that should also hit and steal 20+ while playing elite level defense is a WIN. Engel doesn't look like a .260 hitter, he is more a .220 hitter w/ much less power than Bader and if he can't get on his speed is meaningless. I think it's time to cut bait.

Tnetennba Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 (edited) Engel can't hit, but is a better defender that Tilson. The problem really isn't Engel, its that there is no one better to take his spot away. Edited May 5, 2019 by SouthWallace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barring the dreaded injury of course. I really think we only have to endure Engel for the rest of this year.

greg775 Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 Engel is no good but as long as we are trying to lose and we've got nobody else he does us no harm. I guess I have nothing against seeing what Tilson can do this time around. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sox simply don't have that. Hahn, despite being the GM of a rebuilding team, spent all winter looking for veterans. He doesn't know the young talent in the league, he doesn't keep his "ear to the ground." Heck the Rays rebuilt on the fly with a few trades over 2 seasons.
