When Ozuna is your 6th hitter, you are doing something right. Still would much rather have McCann as a backup and bring in another hitter for the DH spot (unless Sox do want Collins there) but I like it.

BackDoorBreach Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 1 minute ago, Moan4Yoan said: Who are the best lefty RF options? Joc probably? He would cost talent just for one year of his services. After Joc, Kole Calhoun? He is trash. I hate the idea of adding a left-handed bat just to add a lefty bat to the lineup. Give me the best hitter, regardless of handedness. There's a few to trade for but Joc would be up there as he should not cost much. Calhoun is a hard no, I see him coming here and falling apart.

Unfortunately, we probably won’t be able to have an official Sox lineup for MLB The Show video game. I’m guessing it’s going to be a rotation of primarily Grandal, McCann, Collins, and Abreu. Eloy too, from time to time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None of the Sox writers can confirm and many have denied that it's true already. Marcell Ozuna's family in the DR thinks it's true in addition to reporters there however. Thanks for this. Where are you seeing the stuff about Ozuna’s family? Interested to see this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously not nearly on the same level, but people like to give White Sox Dave shit for being the one to scoop the Shield's trade, and obviously that turned in to a disaster. At least the Herrera one was only money. Ha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would think they would have decided that after screwing up the Machado deal. However if true it’s a good thing, but that would also be giving this organization too much credit lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jose Abreu Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 Ozuna doesn't hit RHP better than LHP. It's actually the opposite. His numbers from this past season may appear that way, but he only had 89 PAs for LHP. That's far too small of a sample size to draw any conclusions. For his career, he has a 126 wRC+ vs LHP and a 109 wRC+ vs RHP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Allen Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 I just cannot see a White Sox source doing that to Bruce. I am not a Bruce guy, but am sure his source is pretty connected to the team, and it’s not like the news wasn’t out yet. To say it is false when it is not would really be a dick move. Bruce is certainly more of a Cubs guy but he does give the Sox a lot more time on his show than most non flagship shows. That would be biting a hand that feeds you.
