Well in theory...Joc will probably be platooned after a few months of being total garbage against LH. I know they told him he could play everyday, but I bet he ends up platooned. So platoon vs platoon...who you got? I like having Engel as the other half over...checks notes...Cameron Maybin? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squirmin' for Yermin Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 I also predict Eaton outperforming Joc. They're not that far away talent wise. I'm unsure of the hate. There was a big hodgepodge of okay right fielders this year. Joc and Eaton were in that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm unsure of the hate. There was a big hodgepodge of okay right fielders this year. Joc and Eaton were in that. Exactly. I wouldn't have complained about either, but I do think this specific lineup needs a hitter like Eaton more than a hitter like Joc, because they do need a couple other hitters capable of working a count, fouling off tough pitches, and maybe poking a pitcher's pitch somewhere for a hit. We have Abreu and TA who can do that, but not many of our other guys can. Eaton can be that guy. Joc isn't. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Allen Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 People get way too caught up in spring training stats. Here are the Sox stats last year after a similar amount of games. Carson Fulmer was a star. So was Cheater Cuthbert and Nomar Mazara. Not so good.?

HOFHurt35 Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 (edited) Why do you have to back up the Brink's Truck for a reliever like Hendricks? Because of flame outs like Thompson, Hamilton, Burr, Burdi, etc. That group is a complete pile of ass. Hamilton already gone, I see nothing from the other 3. Let's hope we don't have to count on those guys for anything this coming season. Edited March 13, 2021 by HOFHurt35 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect a counterpoint might be that money spent on Hendricks could have been spent elsewhere since the Sox already have a few guys that could shut offenses down in late innings - Kopech, Crochet, Heuer, and Bummer.

Thompson is like a 5th round pick, Hamilton 10th, Burr was picked up for slot money. They were all fliers. Burdi, on the other hand, was a first round pick, taken under the crazy notion that they were contenders that year. Don’t take relievers in the first round. Do take fliers. After all, they did hit on Bummer, Heuer, and Foster. That’s productive drafting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if you will be able to see the game . I can, because the app includes my subscription to MLB TV. But many ST games are televised. Once the game starts just click on Scores and you will see all the scheduled games listed, then click on the game and pick the TV icon or the speaker icon for radio broadcast if they are allowing free watching or listening still. You might have to subscribe to MLB.com 1st but it's free and easy. Edited March 15, 2021 by CaliSoxFanViaSWside 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could just be typical spring training aches and pains as well. I'd imagine Kopech is doing more than his fair share of running and conditioning after opting out last year.
