Their swings always looked similar to me and I think the hitch in the swing basically made it impossible for them to catch up with high fastballs. Hiura, like Beckham, came out of the gates on fire. Then the league caught up and they could never adjust. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lip Man 1 Posted March 27, 2023 Share Posted March 27, 2023 DVS of the Sun-Times with a Moncada-status story: https://chicago.suntimes.com/white-sox/2023/3/27/23658737/white-sox-third-baseman-yoan-moncadas-status-uncertain-for-opening-day Grifol's comment was interesting: Grifol suggested Moncada’s soreness stems from being on long flights in recent weeks. He and Luis Robert played for Cuba in the World Baseball Classic, flying to Taiwan from Phoenix, then to Miami and back to Phoenix. “They got a lot of miles on them this spring,” Grifol said. “That could be a residual of that.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Autumn Dreamin Posted March 27, 2023 Share Posted March 27, 2023 I don't want to get ahead of myself, but Joe Kelly has quietly put together a great spring. Just 2ER over 8 appearances, 7Ks to 1BB ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They seemed to struggle out of the division while the Sox inside the division. Similar to Minnesota. I have zero stats to back this up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd take a flier pending price, but imagine a lot of rebuilding clubs would also be interested. But the A's certainly fit that bill, so maybe he's just trash? Burger for Pache, perhaps? Burger would make a nice platoon partner for Jace Pederson in Oakland. I do think Burger will be needed at times in Chicago, but obviously something has to give from the 40 man and I suspect the A's will be able to get something of relative value for Pache. I suspect they'll DFA him tomorrow to buy themselves some more time to find the best deal. Edited March 28, 2023 by ChiSox59 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he had options that would be one thing, I'd gladly give him a chance in Charlotte, but how's he going to develop with 3-6 plate appearances per week that are probably going to be pretty ugly based on his prior performance? Romy has a better shot at contributing in the near term, and I'd rather have Burger around in AAA to be called up when the first injury hits. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard to believe the Sox mess around with Billy Hamilton when a switch hitting speed and defense guy like Pache was available for peanuts after he hit .302 this spring. I know many love Hamilton but this stick just don't play . Can't keep guys around just because they are a good cheerleader. At least find a guy with upside like Pache. No idea if Pache has options left and that figures in a decent amount of minor league acquisitions. Always other things to take into consideration also like a player's reputation and/or attitude inside the clubhouse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valdez is lefty and a high GB rate pitcher. The Sox will be beating the ball into the ground. While Colas has cut down on K's he's also beat the ball into the ground. I actually wish they had left him alone over this winter in Miami. Well, not left him alone but just said be yourself and we'll see how it plays while concentrating on him being more selective and having a 2 strike approach rather than a lets look oppo approach . Hate to see a buy strong guy like Colas not take his big cuts. As far as bombs go he's as capable of hitting it 450 ft as Eloy is. Romy and Zavala mostly pull the ball but both of them have show the ability to go oppo also. Yes they both K a lot but I'll take them looking to pull more. Zeby gets a lot doubles doing that also. Romy's last 10 games played, from March 17 to March 28 ,he was 11/29 (.379) with 6 HR's and 12 RBI. He finished ST with a .646 slugging %. I wouldn't be surprised at all to see Romy in RF.
