Dick Allen Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 (edited) There's been times Eloy actually looks decent defensively. Of course it usually ends fairly quickly with some sort of injury. And it's 50/50 at best he throws to the correct base or a cut off man. Edited January 23, 2023 by Dick Allen 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because he wants to play OF and the coaching staff is at least leaving that door open for it (closing the door would be kind of stupid, if its they only played him out there in emergencies), does NOT mean they actually intend for him to anything but the primary DH.

Last season is pretty clear evidence to the contrary. That's the best he hit since he tore his shoulder from the bone....ya know...playing defense.

He arguably had one of his best offensive stretches in baseball when he came back last year strictly at DH. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFutureIsNear Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 Did the team ever have a leader? As much praise as Jose got the clubhouse seemed to be in constant turmoil over the past 2-3 years. And the play on the field reflected it, almost 0 accountability. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yah, I think Pito was a silent leader. This team needs a vocal leader on the position player side. I feel like Liam might have been that guy, even though its probably more difficult for a reliever to be the team leader. But alas.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lip Man 1 Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 I appreciate his desire to play the outfield but I suspect this is more ego driven. Bottom line is this. How many times does he have to miss games because of injuries when he is in the outfield before it gets through to him that if he wants a long career, if he wants to make more money and if he wants to help his team, he becomes a DH? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's the most experienced of the bunch. He speaks both English and Spanish doesn't he? Other than that the only one I can think of might be TA but idk he never really gave me "leader" vibes. Maybe Vaughn can grow into a leader role... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 To be fair, when a leader leaves, along with an entire management team, it is kind of hard to know who the next leader would be. The personality of a locker room isn't a linear equation. Who knows who emerges. Of all of the things to be annoyed with, this isn't one. Also I do like the fact that Eloy still WANTS to play OF, even if it scares me to death. It at least means he isn't a quitter. 3 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigHurt3515 Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 Hey Eloy, if you want to make more money just focus on hitting the ball really far and staying healthy and the best way to do that is not playing the field Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 It's amazing how many "leaders" develop when a team wins. The 2023 White Sox win 95 games, there are multiple guys that will get the "leader" title associated with them. Being a "leader" of a losing team is about as valuable as tits on a hog.
