KnightsOnMintSt Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 Nothing concrete. But from what I know, there is a solid chance that Ryan Goins could be called up if Tim Anderson is out for awhile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wegner Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 I'm sorry to say that I totally forgot he was in the organization. Think I'd rather see Mendick get the call. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s an AAAA player and has zero place on this team. Stay in the minors please. I don’t even care much about Mendick but he should obviously be called up before Goings.

Major league opportunities are going to be harder to come by in 2020 and beyond. You don't waste these opportunities on AAAA players in their 30s like Goins.

TomPickle Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 I get wanting to see Mendick more than Goins, but it is almost certainly going to be 8 games. I can't get worked up over that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first game after the All-Star break is 15 days after the injury. It looks like a pretty run of the mill ankle to me, two weeks should hopefully be enough time.

Chisox378 Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 Call up both Goins and Mendick. Cordell is showing some life, but Rondon has not turned the corner, give these guys in AAA that are playing well a chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s had his chance and he’s been awful. There is zero benefit to giving him or Escobar or any other journeyman player that isn’t a pitcher a chance. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 The one way in which it would make sense is if you plan to have Leury and/or Rondon covers all the innings at SS and just need a bench guy. In that case, no reason to call up a semi-prospect in Mendick just to have him sit on a bench for 2 or 3 weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why even have these journeymen players then? He is performing, what more can we ask for? Goins is perfect for a spot start and utility role, rather then a younger player who needs more playing time and would benefit staying in the minors until ready for a full time ML role. As far as Mendick, I would send down Rondon, put Sanchez on the bench and let Mendick start for a month or two.

As far as Mendick, I would send down Rondon, put Sanchez on the bench and let Mendick start for a month or two. This probably isn't even worth responding. Rondon can't be sent down, he'd need to DFA'd as he out of options. Journeyman players make very little sense for a team like the White Sox that are in the later stages of a rebuilding process. If the Sox have opportunities to give, it should go to younger guys that are going to have a hard time breaking into the bigs in the next season or two. Mendick fits that description. If the plan was to just let Rondon play SS for a few weeks while Timmy is out and Sanchez stays at 2B and its purely as a back-up IF that plays once per week, sure I'd prefer to use a guy like Goins over a guy like Mendick. But Rondon is not an everyday player, and Yoan seems to be getting dinged up alot this season, so whomever is the back-up infielder the next few weeks is going to get a decent amount of work. Don't waste those at bats on a shit player like Goins, or Escobar for that matte.r Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightsOnMintSt Posted June 28, 2019 Author Share Posted June 28, 2019 Now that Anderson is officially out 4-6 weeks, that really should mean that we should hear some news on Goins going up soon. Interesting that they haven’t made a move yet, considering they already called up Palka for Alonso. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
