CentralChamps21 Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 If Engel is back, I'd like to see this lineup tonight: Anderson 6, Lamb DH, Moncada 5, Abreu 3, Grandal 2, Eaton 9, Engel 8, Hamilton 7, Madrigal 4 Give both Vaughn and Mercedes a break against a tough righty. Also provides a strong disincentive for the Tigers to bring in a lefty reliever in the late innings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Allen Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 Adam Engel, savior. If he struggles, I wonder how long a leash he has on Soxtalk before DFA talk commences. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand he's 34 and he's got some miles on him.....but I agree, I'd like him here for 2022 and 2023. I too would love to have him here for a couple more seasons. I think he is also great for the younger pitchers. The problem is if he keeps this up, my guess is that someone will offer him 3 years and I doubt that would be the Sox.

If he struggles, I wonder how long a leash he has on Soxtalk before DFA talk commences. He doesn’t wear gold chains, so he’ll get a pass, at least for a few weeks. Most here don’t value defense compared to offense, especially up the middle, compared to offense. If he plays a majority of games in CF, shifting to RF (not left) for Hamilton starts, he will be a great addition, regardless of how he hits. Adam showed much improvement last year hitting, and is an upgrade over 30 year old Leury Garcia in all aspects of the game.

It only works out with dominant starting pitching. Of course, it makes you wonder what the plan is for Vaughn. He really should be playing everyday, somewhere.

On this topic - I kind of think the should buy him a bit of time in the minors given how long he has missed. A little bit longer rehab stint probably makes a lot of sense in this situation.

Dick Allen Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 I wonder if the Sox permanently did away with the Picnic Area. It is now covered with padding, and they make no mention of it in the group literature they send out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

South Side Hit Men Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 1 hour ago, "The Kids Can Play" said: The only weak and troublesome starter of the four is Keuchel who absolutely sucks and is our weakest starter in the rotation. Hopefully Rodon's last outing was an aberration. Don't forget Cease who laid an egg against weak hitting Cleveland. Reasonable expectations for Keuchel's 4 year deal were 25-30 Starts / 160 IP / 4.00 ERA. White Sox Starters, last two outings Lynn 12 IP 0 ER (0.00 ERA) Giolito 13 IP 2 ER (1.38 ERA) Rodon 12 IP 6 ER (4.50 ERA) Keuchel 9 IP 5 ER (5.00 ERA) Cease 9.3 IP 7 ER (6.77 ERA) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
