Chicago White Sox Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 Alright guys, assuming everyone is healthy and Vaughn is somehow on the OD roster, predict what you think the lineup will be. Feel free to share what you’d if you feel it will be different, but ultimately this is about what La Russa will put in the scorecard.

I could see La Russa batting him 2nd, but ultimately I’m expecting him to do the right thing to start the season and keep him towards the bottom of the order. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flavum Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 I already gave my answer, but how much would people lose their shit if they went: Eaton, Madrigal, Abreu, Jimenez, Moncada, Anderson, Grandal, Vaughn, Robert I wouldn't like it, but I wouldn't necessarily call it terrible either. We have a good team. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I do see him improving his BB rate too. I really like Anderson 3rd to take advantage of his slg. Mostly why I went with it. I get the "why mess" too. Eaton has a helluva obp when healthy. Hopefully still has some speed on the bases, too. Just to clear, my Madrigal/Eaton is not uncertainty but rather against L-R SP. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HOFHurt35 Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 Unlike the last clown skipper, glad Grandal isn't going to be fixated 2 and 3 all season. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerksticks Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 Anderson is our giant middle finger. He’s 1st. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it would really suck to have the guy with the 3rd best OBP on the team batting in front of Abreu and Jimenez. Who needs guys on base for them? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoxAce Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 I think LaRussa is putting Madrigal and/or Eaton at the top of the order. I get Theriot/Furcal vibes in LaRussa's mind with them. Other than Abreu in the 3 hole, I have 0 clue what he's going to do but I'll take a stab at it. Madrigal/Eaton Eaton/Madrigal Abreu Grandal Eloy Moncada Anderson Robert Vaughn (to ease him in) I hope I'm wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet Eaton Bats 2nd though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jose Abreu Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 FWIW, Nightengale (who has obviously nailed the entire White Sox offseason) said Eaton will bat at the top of the order Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jose Abreu Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 I'll add that if they bat Eaton 2nd and Moncada 6th (or something like that), they'll look foolish once Moncada is lighting the league on fire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over the last 2 seasons, 21 of his 28 hr's have been solos. Chances are good that he hits >=25 this year. Would be nice to see him get a chance to hit more with men on.....not that I'm complaining!!! Like to see Abreu protecting him in cleanup, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ron883 Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 If Moncada looks like he is back to precovid form during spring training, you absolutely have to get him 2nd. He is a perfect 2-hole hitter when healthy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
