But he's been terrible in Triple-A, a non-prospect for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiSoxJon Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 Considering that Kelley was ranked significantly higher than Crotchet pre-draft I expect he isn't too far from being Top 100 either Next Year our top 5 prospects should be Vaughn, Crotchet, Kelley, Thompson, Adolfo Not too bad with a ML team loaded with youth and more additions coming via draft and J2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
South Side Hit Men Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 Nice work @y2jimmy0 ! Do you consider Micker Adolfo and or Blake Rutherford to be able to cover one or two of the current outfield holes (RF and LF - Move Eloy is a DH before he literally kills himself out there) able to be considered a regular outfielder by 2022?

Jnooch Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 We need one OFer, a RFer, Eloy will stay in LF until Jose Abreu career is complete. He and Andrew Vaughn will be the 1B/DH combo. Eloy would only be a DH if we needed one. We have enough DH candidates at the moment. Abreu, Vaughn, Collins, Yermin, Grandal and McCann can all rotate at DH even when EE is gone next year there will be no shortage. If the Cubs can live with Scwarber we can live with Eloy in LF.

It's not what we can or cannot live with, it's whether Eloy will remain alive or continue to get injured attempting to play left field. https://www.cbssports.com/mlb/news/white-sox-eloy-jimenez-continues-to-run-into-things-in-left-field-and-that-should-cause-concern-in-chicago/ "I'm just trying to go play hard," he said. "If you see when I got hurt in the outfield, it was because I tried to do my best and just playing hard.

southsider2k5 Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 Eloy has looked more solid over the last few weeks in the OF. No idea if it is SSS or not, but he has started to look almost competent out there lately, even making a few pretty good plays. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
South Side Hit Men Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 (edited) Also, assuming Eloy can stay on the field continuing as a LF, he is definitely costing the team runs, wiping out a significant portion of his offensive production with his left field butchery, even with Robert covering as much of LF as possible.

When he got injured, he said he spoke with Jose Abreu who suffered a similar injury (see below). Jose was able to retain the power and the current weight allows him to play well and stay on the field. Burger looks like he lost some weight in recent videos, and said he is open to a transition to another spot. I like his work ethic and willingness to battle through two tough injures. I hope he can at least get healthy enough to contribute or gain trade interest if there is no spot for him here at the ML level. Burger chatted with White Sox first baseman José Abreu, who suffered a similar injury in 2008. "He was like, 'Look, man, it's a tough recovery, but you'll get back,'" Burger said. "He said he lost 30 pounds while going through it. I'm looking to that and looking forward to being back with my family for a couple of weeks."

Perfect Vision Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 1 hour ago, southsider2k5 said: Trent Grisham was drafted in the 1st round (15th overall) out of high school. He only hit 19hrs in his first 354 minor league games. He was considered a total non-prospect by Brewer fans entering last year. Sound familiar? Sometimes it happens late.

It would be so nice to fill that RF hole internally and spend dollars on other glaring needs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
