He didn't say WHEN he would spend time there. Thank you I already knew he was there. I just meant he may stay there longer than many suspect. Just my guess not based on anything concrete. I'm just not sure Madrigal will do better than Mendick . He's going to have to be diving around the infield and the bases. But if he is just handed 2nd base when he returns I hope he stays healthy and isnt sore all the time. I wouldn't want his power or hard hit ball rate to suffer.

I wouldn't want his power or hard hit ball rate to suffer. Madrigal should start at 2b but Mendick should play 50-60% of the remaining regular season games as well. He should spell TA, Moncada, and Madrigal on a regular basis (let’s say one start a week for each of those guys on average) to keep them healthy heading into October.

I'm not trying to sound flippant but what does them burning the 7th year have to do with who is the best guy to play 2nd base right now. I will apologize for using bWAR but in 110 career PA Mendick is at 1.1 bWAR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mendick is a utility guy. He might be a really good one but that's the pecking order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madrigal has a higher ceiling and will take over at 2nd when he is ready. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moncada will get one of his usual soft tissue injuries and Mendick will step in at 3B. I like Mendick much more as a super sub and am happy to see him getting ABs.

joejoesox Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 they need to realize that Moncada needs at least 1-2 days a week at DH to keep him in the lineup, otherwise they're gonna lose him every now and then to soreness. Work this around EE/James/Grandal. EE should only be in the lineup 4 games out of 7 imo. season is too short to be fucking around with him. we have a whole lineup of guys who can mash and also do other shit. that's my hot take Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea how he did but worth a try in RF at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago White Sox Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 If Leury is basically our for the season (not sure about his status for the post-season), I would definitely consider Brock as a super utility guy to give us a bit more depth.
