This wouldn't surprise me. While it doesn't make up for getting a real RF, I'll take Leury out there over Sheets any day of the week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last game of the regular season, Leury screwed up in RF also. I find it almost unbelievable how the Sox have not addressed their needs. They are acting like the playoffs are already made, and they are sitting pretty. History shows us otherwise. Put the best team on the field you can, just once.

Oh he's not great out there. I'd really prefer he doesn't play OF at all. But I'll still take the adventures of Leury in RF over the second coming of Daniel Palka pretty much every time.

flavum Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 If Leury gets more than 300 PA short of a major injury, this ownership/front office has no interest in winning. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did not like skinny Palka...he could not. It's a lot like Santa....skinny doesn't work. And I do know....neither version of Palka could play the OF worth a damn. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I sure as hell don't want him in RF for a club with real aspirations. Same goes for Sheets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And as with Palka, I liked Delmonico on those rebuilding clubs and I'm happy to see he was brought back to the organization to coach. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tray Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 1 hour ago, Quin said: Give the Dodgers a good look at Adolfo. Dodgers share the same facility for ST so no doubt their scouts are familiar with every player the Sox have. I think the Dodgers are a team that would be looking at the cream of the prospect crop rather than the sediment.....and other than prospects, they might be interested in Kimbrel. I have not seen any rumors about potential trades with the Dodgers so perhaps there isn't a chance for a trade between them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dodgers probably have 7 top 100 prospects if you take into account how many publications make those list. I have no idea how many the Sox might have 0 ? 1?

maxjusttyped Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 I think today's Dodgers starter Andre Jackson would make a lot of sense as part of the return in a potential Kimbrel trade. just someone to keep an eye on during today's game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
