Jack Parkman Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 (edited) Are you guys willing to accept that there was never a window at this point? I think I'm there. I'd fire Hahn and just blow it up at this point. None of the underperforming guys are showing any signs of getting out of it.

It’s one of the few spots where they can legitimately try to push someone aside and upgrade. We know they won’t do that with Grancada. If you don't try it you never find out if it's a solution. I mean at this point it's either push Moncada to 2nd base or bring up Yolbert. It's not like Harrison's -.3 WAR is helping win any games. I'll also add that the real solution could be Sosa and moving Yolbert up gets Sosa to AAA. Sosa has a better chance to make an impact since he hits for good power and Sanchez doesn't ,if he can adjust quickly put up good numbers at Charlotte. Sanchez has a good eye so if the contact is soft he could be just getting some 2 strike hits much the same way Madrigal did while still taking his share of walks. Sosa has better numbers at Birmingham than Robert did in slightly more plate appearances. Edited June 9, 2022 by CaliSoxFanViaSWside Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 If Lynn doesn't return to form you have the Grandal and Lynn salaries really weighing on payroll...and missed your opportunity to trade Lynn as well. Then Moncada and Jimenez, not to mention IL Kelly. Pollock's player option, etc. Abreu can't possibly return...maybe he asks to be traded to a contender in the weeks to come. It's basically a tsunami of issues with no payroll flexibility or minor league Top 100 guys even if you wanted to throw them into the flames. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, I think they only made the playoffs in 2021 because Minny and Cleveland had bad years. Edited June 9, 2022 by Jack Parkman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The strange thing is the team is well below .500 with him not starting and a handful over with him. And tonight is another example. Guess that's also on Leary who always plays when Harrison doesn't.

South Side Fireworks Man Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 I wonder if moving Moncada to 2B would maybe wake him up or something? Maybe standing behind the pitcher will give him a different perspective or something? I don't know, but there's no way he should be starting over Burger at 3B anymore.
