Send on along to Scott Merkin for a "puff piece" about how much stronger this team will be in the 2nd half. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
35thstreetswarm Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 Just let me see the full lineup for a little while for god’s sake. It’s happened so rarely over the past two seasons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The second real question is, are the Sox strength/training/conditioning/medical staff finally going to be serious and teach Eloy how to properly stretch and maintain his body flexibility and strength to stay healthy!

We are ultra conservative these days with injuries. I'd be shocked to see him playing in the MLB in less than 2 weeks now. Pleasantly shocked of course.

Look at Ray Ray Run Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 I don't even get excited about Eloy's returns because I've become very skeptical of his hitting ceiling. Hoping he makes me look like a fool. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then again, why doesn't Eloy have his own self starter motivation to get in the best shape weight wise possible! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoping he makes me look like a fool. I don't doubt his potential. I doubt his ability to realize that talent. Injuries and start-stop continuity i.e. never getting into and sustaining a groove aside, he might need to connect with the right hitting coach or even the right (different) team to get going. Would he be a different hitter with the Astros? The Braves? Edited May 12, 2022 by FoxForce2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoxAce Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 Have him DH the rest of the season and TLR can stop telling him to hussle to 1B, he should be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spumoni Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 Eloy was so much fun to watch early on. Hasn't felt that way in some time though - I hope he can get back but becoming more and more skeptical. Outside of 2019 he really hasn't done a whole lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He needs to get back to hitting line drives, using the opposite field and putting the ball in the air. Has felt like he's just a chopper 2 hopper to the left side of the infield waiting to happen since his return last season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brijames1957 Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 I will get crucified for this I'm sure but I would trade Eloy after he is back. He is just basically a DH on a team full of them. Someone has to go. He isn't an outfielder. He can't play 1B can he? You have Sheets who can DH and play 1B. You have Vaughn who can DH, play 1B and play the outfield as least as well as Eloy.

But I'm afraid we would be selling very low on him if we traded him now. That said, if we could get a legit rotation piece or more athletic everyday player for him I'd be all for it.
