JoeCredeYes Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 47 minutes ago, Lillian said: With the news that Eloy will be starting a rehab assignment this weekend, just get Escobar, if healthy, and wait it out until the trade deadline. They may need to keep their "powder dry" for an unforeseen injury to a pitcher. Last 28 Days Player A - .309/.396/.433 - 2HR, 4RBI Player B - .312/.346/.584 - 5HR, 17RBI Player C - .313/.403/.516 - 3HR, 18 RBI Are we sure we even need a 2B? The bigger hole to me is RF/DH/C. Eloy fixes the DH hole especially vs LHP, now go get Gallo and let's win this effing thing. A = Frazier B = Escobar C = Soxtalk Legend Leury Garcia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A = Frazier B = Escobar C = Soxtalk Legend Leury Garcia I like Leury, however he is not going to supply power, and certainly not the kind of power, which Escobar has demonstrated in recent years. I'd love Gallo, but fear that he would cost too much in prospect capital. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is at his best when being used as a plug and play type of player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lillian Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 (edited) If the Sox acquire Escobar, and he's healthy, once Eloy returns at the end of this month, the lineup could look just fine: Versus RHP SS T. A. 3B Moncada 1B Abreu DH Eloy 2B Escobar C Collins CF Engel RF Goodwin or Sheets LF Sheets/Lamb/Vaughn (whoever is hot and matches up with the opposing starter) Versus LHP SS T. A. 3B Moncada 1B Abreu DH Eloy LF Vaughn 2B Escobar CF Engel RF Leury C Zavala ??? Those are pretty respectable lineups, and when Grandal returns, they would be ready to compete with any team, in the post season. If Robert comes back, as well, they would be a real force, with which to contend. One more bullpen arm would provide some nice insurance against injuries.
