He's not the definition of a busted top prospect and a busted starting pitcher? And his last two games out of the pen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tray Posted May 25 Share Posted May 25 (edited) Eloy has the recurrent hamstring injury issue so he is not going to be here next season and who knows if he will return this season. That leaves the DH spot open for Sheets or Vaughn. However will either one hit enough including with power numbers to command that spot ? Vaughn hitting around .200 with an OPS of .587 and 4 homers, 2 of which he hit recently. That is after 4+ years in the league. Sheets has been a better hitter, but still....he needs work against LH (pitchers). That 2019 MLB Draft was a real catastrophe for the White Sox. It sent 3 franchises in different directions: 1st Pick - Adley Rutchman 2nd pick - Bobby Witt, Jr. 3rd pick - Andrew Vaughn Edited May 25 by tray Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is nowhere else they can go except DH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I should stay up all night in China and post this thought immediately...rather than waiting until after another blown saves with more gopher balls flying out. You could use my extend Crochet/Kopech thread against me...but growing numbers want to extend Garrett. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tray Posted May 26 Share Posted May 26 Cubs have shown interest in Vlady Jr. for DH but the price has reportedly been steep. That made me wonder if the Cubs they might have some interest in Eloy who could potentially help them for a post All-Star run for the Division.

No contender is going to trade for him in hopes of improving his chances. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Bad baseball players ?" The Sox have several of those (e.g., AV and Bennintendi ) that can't field or hit even when healthy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Bad baseball players ?" The Sox have several of those (e.g., AV and Bennintendi ) that can't field or hit even when healthy. The problem is Eloy is never healthy and he’s only going to have a very short window when he comes back from his latest setback to prove that he is. I think some club will give him a shot in the offseason as a DH, but I doubt it will be someone with serious ambitions of winning. He simply hasn’t flashed enough these past two years (102 wRC+ in 635 PA’s) to make a large gamble on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
