The normal stuff other players can play through. A foulball off his leg takes him out of the game and has him on the bench the next day. That's what people are referring to. It's a spring training game...soon after we had the Eloy injury...I'm not sure coming out of the game and not playing the next day were his choices. He's lucky he got to finish his at-bat and wasn't removed due to "an abundance of caution." We're lucky he wasn't pulled so we could witness the mammoth homer by the "soft" guy that hobbled around after fouling a ball off his shin.

Tbh, if you put me and Moncada in an octagon, I'm betting on myself. He may have more muscle, but that won't stop him from getting taken to the ground and getting out-techniqued. He's always very injury prone. Moncada would make you stand and trade. It would be a Disastre Personal for you. OTOH if it was Yermin I bet you'd pull guard and give him your back. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mqr Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 2 hours ago, ChiSox59 said: That is true about Lamb never playing left field, however, you are not going to be nearly as concerned about messing with him as you would be with say, Vaughn or Moncada. Leftfield should not be a challenging position for an athletic guy like Lamb. it’s not like anyone is expecting him to be a gold glover. Sox seem fairly committed To AV in left field though, and I think if he proves himself to be suitable out there that’s a pretty good development for the future.?? They have to be hoping Vaughn proves capable enough so they never have to give Eloy a glove again right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mqr Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 (edited) 149/162 132/162 52/60 Idk man, I'm not that concerned about Moncada's toughness or lack there of. Edited March 30, 2021 by mqr 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're Mendick, you should just ask for your release if they bring back Yolmer. Leury can play the infield. Moncada/TA/Madrigal have holds on the 3 spots. Lamb know the back up to Moncada. They already brought in Tim Beckham who while an afterthought to many (his suspension doesn't help), he was a target of the Sox going into the offseason. Adding another utility infield type would just show they don't believe in Mendick in any insignificant way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VAfan Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 This topic has run it's course, but I just wanted to chime in now that Lamb has made the team that he makes the team better. I'd much rather have Lamb than Mendick on the bench, because Lamb's bat can be useful, as pointed out above. He hit 3rd for Oakland in the playoff game that knocked us out of the postseason. You don't have to look at stats from 4-5 years ago. Just look at last season. Small sample size, but he's not going to get a ton of ABs anyway. He will get some, and should do well with them. Plus, if Moncada gets dinged up and misses a week, the offense doesn't have to go in the tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was consistently hitting the ball hard and putting up good at bats. If we can get Oakland Lamb coming off the bench for us, that'd be a great depth piece to have.

pcq Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 Since no one wants to watch Leury maybe Lamb will get some reps in LF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Leury has to play LF a few times until Engel is back, that's fine, but he should never, ever bat anywhere other than 9th and try to get him in vs LHP.

Bob Sacamano Posted April 2, 2021 Author Share Posted April 2, 2021 I would have preferred Lamb (or Yermin) in Leury's spot last night in the 9th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
