Vulture Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 At this point, I think I’d have to go: Eaton/Madrigal Grandal Abreu Anderson Moncada Vaughn Robert Williams/Engel Madrigal/Eaton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In our ballpark, with Robert in CF it really shouldn't be that big of an issue to have Vaughn in LF for the first 7 innings. When Engel is in RF we should still have a plus outfield. There are fewer shorter tasks in sports than playing LF at Guaranteed Rate Field. If you can keep yourself from getting hurt, you don't even have to be serviceable on D.

Bob Sacamano Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 I would do: 1. Anderson SS 2. Moncada 3B 3. Abreu 1B 4. Grandal C 5. Vaughn LF/DH 6. Robert 7 Eaton RF 8. Whoever the fuck is in the lineup opposite position of Vaughn (Leury/Yermin/Collins/Williams/Engel eventually) DH/LF 9. Madrigal 2B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vulture Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 Grandal in a run producing spot is a horrible idea. You have to have ability to get base hits to bring in runs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More likely outcome is probably Eaton 2 spot. Edited March 25, 2021 by manbearpuig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vulture Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 I don’t know. I think we’ve got to just hope Vaughn comes straight out in beast mode at this point. Looks a lot worse anyway you stack it without Eloy in the middle otherwise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont think Vaughn will stay that low for long. But even the bottom third will be tough on pitchers and they can get pretty good OBP from 789. In fact, it may be the best OBP at 789 of anyone in the league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago White Sox Posted March 25, 2021 Author Share Posted March 25, 2021 Here are my new lineup ideas: vs RHP | vs LHP Anderson, SS | Anderson, SS Grandal, C# | Grandal, C# Abreu, 1B | Abreu, 1B Moncada, 3B# | Robert, CF Robert, CF | Vaughn, LF Collins, DH* | Moncada, 3B# Vaughn, LF | Mercedes, DH Eaton, RF* | Engel, RF Madrgial, 2B | Madrgial, 2B Just brutal how much losing Eloy changes the complexion of the lineup.

South Side Hit Men Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 (edited) Opening Day: SP Giolito 1. Anderson SS, 2. Eaton^ RF, 3. Abreu 1B, 4. Moncada* 3B, 5, Robert CF, 6. Grandal* DH, 7. Garcia* LF, 8. Lucroy C, 9. Madrigal 2B If Grandal can catch, than perhaps Vaughn will be brought up or they'll go with Collins at DH. EDIT: RHP Bundy is the Angels' pitcher, so I believe La Russa will bat Eaton 2nd and Grandal 5th or 6th.

We can’t afford to start both Lucroy & Leury unless it’s against a LHP. It’s Vaughn or die time for better or worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How can this team be considered a legit world series contender starting a rookie first basemen in left field? How is there absolutely no depth on the farm after this team sucked for so long? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were last year when Hahn was spending $36M on Grandal, Parrot and Mazara, and ended up with Nicky Delmonico in RF on OD. I'd bring up and start Collins over Lucroy, but the manager and Narron are likely to side with "veteran presence". That's why Billy Hamilton was brought in, before the Eloy injury. My lineup is based on what I believe La Russa and Narron will do. Garcia is the best actual outfielder option unless they go out an get another OFer before OD. Does Vaughn even own a mitt beyond a 1B mitt? It's reckless to put him out there, even with a one week crash course. Then again, recklessness is how they got to this point. It is ironic that La Russa was shitcanned in part for his experiment of Carlton Fisk in Left Field. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, the fish rots from the head down. It was Jerry's brilliant idea to fire Hemond and bring in Hawk. Hawk also purged Dave Dombrowski, architect of the great 1990s Expos teams, Miami's two World Series Championship teams, Detroit's two AL Pennants, another WS title in Boston and likely a solid contending team with the Phillies after he gets a few years to clean up that mess (the bullpen is already much improved, their major issue the past few seasons).

BigHurt3515 Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 It is basically a Eloy for Collins swap in terms of just hitting so let's hope Collins can break out and give us lets say 20 home runs and an above average OBP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
