The dude who can’t play a position and isn’t hitting well. Please do tell why he’s untouchable. It’s entirely ridiculous how a dude not good enough to make an mlb roster unless there are major injuries is somehow untouchable when it comes to criticism. If it’s because Tony was mean to him people need to grow the f up. Edited May 31, 2021 by Greydawgfan1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Madrigal has been hitting the ball really well.. DON'T FUCKING BUNT WITH HIM, TLR. Madrigal should be left hitting second.

Because it is incredibly stupid to criticize the dude that has carried the team for the first 6 weeks with no replacement on the roster. With Lamb hitting well, you can platoon him with Yermin and Vaughn from time to time, but Yermin is here to stay for a while. 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right now he's on the White Sox, and is a big reason the Sox have won as many games as they have. The guy has 7 HR, 29 RBI, and .883 OPS. Nobody thought he was going to hit .400 all season....

South Side Hit Men Posted May 31, 2021 Share Posted May 31, 2021 (edited) It’s fair to say Mercedes has had a huge drop off in May (OPS .666 through yesterday). It’s clear pitchers have made successful adjustments, but that doesn’t mean Yermin can’t adjust back as he did after working with Menechino during the series in KC. It’s as premature to write him off today as it was when posters were calling to trade Eloy to make room for Mercedes at DH in the “conundrum” thread after a few weeks. Baseball has a way of sorting itself one way or another. I’m hopeful Mercedes plays well and stays on the squad for years. If he does not, I’m grateful he carried the Sox offense in April, before other bats began to emerge in May.

Green Line Posted May 31, 2021 Share Posted May 31, 2021 Yermin isnt very good. He had a remarkable April. Since then - pedestrian. Hopefully he can make adjustments because otherwise he’s going to go down as one of the biggest flash in a pan players in Sox history. Weird why he has such a huge squad of Stans on here.
