GermanSoxFan Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 Tim is just having a rotten year with his errors. I still think he will be a fine SS in the coming years. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even Stone reiterated that tonight. Charlotte is in mental midget mode. 4 game WC lead soon down to one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still infuriating they need gave Madrigal a chance to show he can play SS in the minors. The Sox definitely need to upgrade defensively at shortstop if they ever intend to be a serious World Series contender. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And you can't expect to build a serious contender with poor defense and fundamentals. Hopefully Robert and Madrigal provide plus defense at CF and 2B, but they need to replace Anderson at SS to have a solid defense up the middle.

harkness99 Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 matt skole… another long line of world class hot garbage the CWS manage to find for a LH DH I'm not sure you could find some horrible players if your main objective was that they were horrible.

Especially with the juiced ball. Everyone and their mother hits double digits, and the Sox can’t find a DH that can hit above .200 with minimal power.

Tim makes some flashy plays sometimes - but overall he is a poor defensive shortstop. Edited August 29, 2019 by harkness99 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't mean anything that Minnesota is breaking the record with so many guys with 20 HR's. The juiced ball makes every hitting record suspect. Just to much playing around with a game that has withstood the test of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
