CWSpalehoseCWS Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 A lot of posters wanted this guy in the offseason. He's struggled this year, and I am sure a lot of teams will be looking at him, but with all the debate around bringing Yolmer back, what would everyone think about this guy instead? Worth a shot?

Would love Holt . A slow start shouldn't be a reason for a player of his caliber to be DFA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 With basically 30 days left, I think Yolmer makes more sense as a guy who already is a fit with this organization. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's got a lifetime OPS of 705. They aren't missing much. Mazara is 750 and everyone is running him out of town. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Allen Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 Once Madrigal comes back, Mendick moves into the Goins role. So IDK if Holt or Yolmer would be very interested. Neither would play much if there isn’t an injury. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can sort of be Leury without the speed or switch hitting, but a good baseball player, much like the way people talk about Madrigal.

Madrigal isnt going to be handed 2nd base just like that. Edited August 22, 2020 by CaliSoxFanViaSWside Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess they could use him for another guy. For the OF the have Engel #1 off the bench. But with the expanded rosters he would just sit in Schaumburg.

southsider2k5 Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 For the record, don't forget, Lopez went 2 innings in his Sim game last time around in Schaumburg. He probably has around a 50 pitch outing at the most today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So Yolmer or Holt would be behind him.Unless there is another injury, with a little over one month left, hardly any opportunity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there are no better offers maybe one comes here but they can see that there isn't much playing time here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. He'll have his 4 weeks of healing. As long as he doesn't land on it again, it should be fine. So maybe his slide or diving for a ball maybe effected.

With Mendick playing well all around and giving professional at bats while flashing power and the team winning why upset the apple cart with Madrigal by just handing a perhaps weakened Madrigal the job ?

Y2Jimmy0 Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 I think Madrigal will be back on Tuesday vs the PIrates and if not, probably for the Kansas City series. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
