Chicago White Sox Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 Per Bob, the Sox will explore the free agent OF market with Robert likely out “months” and Pham could be an “ideal fit”. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Mighty Mite Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 I’ve always liked Tommy Pham, I don’t think I’ve ever seen such an intense player as him but he’s not going to help this pathetic team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just play the guys here at this point. We’re not going anywhere. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just bring up Colas and let him play RF the rest of the year, if he can’t hack it then dump him for a bag of balls at the end of the year.

46DidIt Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 Colas is seven games into the beginning of his third season in the mlb system and has played less than 180 games in the minors. Sox are in no position to be dumping guys like Colas. Come on now 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Allen Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 They should leave it alone. Saves JR money and they can blame injuries as the reason they suck. Just because they get hurt almost every season , people should be shocked Eloy and Robert got hurt. They should be shocked in the upcoming days when Moncada swings and has an awkward finish and is in pain. They should be more shocked when Crochet can’t pitch because of elbow or shoulder soreness. JRs ways don’t work anymore. As long as he owns the team, and that could be for another decade, I know he’s 88; but he seems to be doing pretty well physically, they might have a decent season or two, but nothing sustained. You can’t sustain it when you don’t develop players and won’t go crazy on payroll. They really weren’t buying the BS they were trying to sell that they were a lot better than the prognosticators thought, were they? I do not wish death on JR. In fact, I wish him good health. I just wish he would see the business has passed him by, he can get out, and even with the additional capital gains tax, leave his heirs more than they ever will need. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MiddleCoastBias Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 Personally, I'd rather just call up Brett Phillips. Sure, he swings a wet noodle of a bat, but so does everyone else on this team. The guy is FUN. He's a fan favorite in every other city, he plays great defense, and seems like a fun teammate for others to be around. We aren't winning games. We aren't going to score runs. You want veteran leadership to change the culture of this team? Brett Phillips can have a much bigger impact on this team than any other journeyman we think can be a bandaid for this team. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phillips is literally 0/19 against AAA pitching, coming off a terrible ST. I don’t see what Brett Phillips accomplishes. Play Fletcher. Call up Colas. Play Benintendi because he’s going to be here. Want to play Grossman against LHP? Fine! But FFS were 1-7 against, with 6 of those guys against bad to mid teams. This team blows. Play guys that may have a future with the org, or have a chance to actually be useful baseball players or trade chips. This would also apply to Tommy Pham. Makes no sense. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m looking at what veterans we signed this offseason that were dealt last season brought back as some sort of reference for what we could possibly move those guys for. Paul DeJong was dealt for a relief prospect who was having a pretty good year. Pham was dealt for a left-handed hitting 16 -year old infield prospect. Those were the only 2 deals worth mentioning (and we don’t even have Pham…yet). Edited April 7 by Bob Sacamano Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
