flavum Posted May 29, 2021 Share Posted May 29, 2021 Grandal is easily one of my least favorite Sox players of all time. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me, Leury doesn’t do much other than be able to provide well below average offense at a lot of positions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very easy to dislike really, even moreso because of the albatross of an anchor he puts on a payroll that gets nerfed from the start by ownership. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago White Sox Posted May 29, 2021 Share Posted May 29, 2021 Yasmani Grandal is 25% better than league average offensively as a catcher. I totally get being frustrated by his defense, but calling his contract an albatross isn’t remotely true. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you compare Gradal's production and contract to other players you'll be disappointed because he's a catcher and even slightly above average offense from a catcher costs a premium. Look at what McCann got. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And you’re right, Gallo would definitely be hated around here for the same reasons, although Yasmani deserves to be ripped for certain elements of his defense. I won’t give him a free pass there.

chw42 Posted May 29, 2021 Share Posted May 29, 2021 I was hoping we'd get to their bullpen early with Means throwing 35 pitches in the first, but it looks like he's probably gonna go 6 innings at this rate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
