GermanSoxFan Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 Even if there are some doubts about Yermin‘s ability to hit in the big leagues, I just have a soft spot for guys with max effort swings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he doesn't get that chance, it's unfortunate. He's a 27 year old career minor leaguer who profiles as a DH only. I don't know what's going to happen with him. It is quite possible he never gets an opportunity in MLB. Edited March 9, 2020 by Jack Parkman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quickman Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 Let him hit. Collins is a way better trade prospect anyway for whatever reason. Send collins down to catch aaa. He will never get a shot anyway to be the Sox full time catcher. McCann stays till deadline giving Grandal plenty of time off early on and Mercedes can catch twice a week. The dude can rake. Let him have a shot. If EE Suddenly gets old then he can spot in for him. I will say it’s nice that the Sox had few catcher options and now seem ok at the spot with a chance to improve in the draft.

I will say it’s nice that the Sox had few catcher options and now seem ok at the spot with a chance to improve in the draft. there isn't a pitcher in MLB that would be OK pitching to Mercedes. Have you seen his few innings this spring back there? He makes Collins look like Johnnie Bench. Dude look at these stats. 8 balls back to the backstop (one passed ball, lol, nice scorekeeping) in 24 innings caught. 0-2 throwing out runners. Non fucking starter as a catcher. http://mlb.mlb.com/stats/sortable.jsp#elem=%5Bobject+Object%5D&tab_level=child&click_text=Sortable+Player+fielding&game_type='S'&season=2020&season_type=ANY&league_code='MLB'§ionType=sp&statType=fielding&page=1&ts=1583797484456&team_id=145&playerType=ALL&sortColumn=pb&sortOrder='desc'&extended=0 Edited March 9, 2020 by chitownsportsfan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HOFHurt35 Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 BTW, shame on Rick Hahn for not have given Yermin an extended look last September. Especially with the pile of ass he had up here taking ABs to close out the season. Maybe you would have found a DH then and avoided looking for one in the offseason. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is embarrassing that Yonder and AJ Reed got looks at DH as long as they did. Yermin deserved a shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately not. A solid start but not enough to move the needle given his age and inability to play a position. As everybody else noted he should have gotten more ABs at the MLB level last year. Reed and Palka are dead enders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
