Commit to Burger at third, either move Moncada to second where his bat won't matter as much (Harrison is just as bad) or trade Moncada for 3 prospects, one a first-rounder. Nobody would give up a single prospect for him right now, let alone a past first round pick...unless they're a Top 6-8 payroll team with massive risk tolerance like the Mets, Giants or Dodgers, who will need to replace Turner soon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thad Bosley Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 Just now, Chicago White Sox said: You’re greatly overvaluing Leury even when things are going right for him. When are things going right for him? We’ve yet to see him in the role he’s suited for, which is the super sub role. He keeps getting pushed into a starting role due to injuries, the crazy manager, and an ineffective front office who did a terrible job addressing the second base issue this past offseason. Remember: he didn’t pencil himself into the lead-off spot tonight against one of the best teams in baseball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hankchifan Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 Someone must tell TLR that the matchup/platoon system is over going forward with the crappy switch hitters that we have. Play our best performing players regardless of matchups. The lineup tonight was a disgrace with Leury, Moncada and Grandal hitting in the top five of the lineup.

caulfield12 Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 Every single Sox lineup with the possible exception of 2011 through 2021 was so much better. Delmonico and Palka would be classed as heroes right up there with BurgaTron. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capn12 Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 Wait....you mean the offense with LOLEury leading off, and Moncada 3rd, haven't managed to put on an offensive display? Who could have seen that coming? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brijames1957 Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 (edited) This is insane. You can't continue to run Grandal, Moncada, and Garcia out there. And because they are only 4 GB is not an excuse to continue it. I don't know what the options are with the 3 of them but you have to do something. Tonight is another prime example of a game where the pitching has been more than good enough but you can't score because you have those 3 in the line up. Do something about it!

Trade market not yet fully developed/clarified. LoL. Unless you are the Brewers moving on Adames. Behind the 8 ball doesn't do it justice.
