ron883 Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 I'm always bugging our guy ptatc for injury news or advice, so I'll skip that this time. According to google, this surgery has a pretty high success rate of returning to pre-injury condition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maloney.adam Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 (edited) I think they’re going to need to find a replacement for Eaton. He is injured and washed up. Keep him on the bench for the remainder of the year. Edited June 15, 2021 by maloney.adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep him on the bench for the remainder of the year. I can't disagree about Eaton. However, if they can acquire Escobar, they should be able to fill the outfield with a combination of Engel, Goodwin, Vaughn, Garcia and Lamb. They'll also have Hamilton back, before too long. With Eloy's bat added, sometime around the beginning of August, the lineup would be ok, without needing to add another outfielder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure he had a nice five game or so stretch, but god help us if he’s the missing piece 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure he had a nice five game or so stretch, but god help us if he’s the missing piece No, I'm not suggesting that he represents a key offensive component, but with guys like Vaughn and Lamb getting playing time in the outfield, he would be a valuable late inning defensive replacement, as well as a pinch runner.

Eminor3rd Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 I like Nick and feel terrible for him, but for 2021, he's the starter the Sox could MOST afford to lose. I'm okay with Mendick for this year if the Sox gun for other upgrades at the deadline. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
South Side Hit Men Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 (edited) He will need 193.6 hits per season through his age 39 season to reach 3,000. It’s going to be a challenge. Edited June 15, 2021 by South Side Hit Men 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he starts taking Nugenix at a young age, he will be playing well in to his 40's so 3000 is still attainable....and yes she will like it too!! 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need to get HR from the corner outfielders and the DH spot, not try to fill that need with second basemen. Mercedes, Vaughn and Eaton need to be replaced. or at least platooned .

Why would Cherrington care about the perceived need of the other team? Frazier has multiple suitors. If Cherrington has his price met, he will take his favorite offer in return. Whether the receiving team is going to hit Frazier #3 or have him as a bench piece isn't really relevant. The team who offers the best package will get the guy. With that said, I find it more likely the Sox acquire a rental given the extent of the need and the acquisition cost being lesser. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iWiN4PreP Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 Here's one good thing: Our early lead in the division allows us some precious days/week(s) to take our time on it. I'm not advocating for waiting on improving, but I don't feel entirely rushed to go out and make a poor decision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldsox Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 That was a very awkward move he made when trying to get the hit. No reason to stretch that much on his last stride before hitting the bag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zisk Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 3 major injuries in 3+ years when you are young is a really bad thing. I'd say Nick has one chance left. If he gets even a hang nail after this, he'll never be an every day player again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no objection to your suggestion. If you can suggest a LH power bat, to play a corner outfield position, who could be acquired, without giving up too much, it should be considered. Whom would you recommend? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
