Falstaff Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 57 minutes ago, WhiteSox2023 said: The three main injury-prone crew have barely played this season and they couldn’t even make it to the start of summer. Further proof on why these guys can never be counted on, which shouldn’t excuse Getz or the Sox for banking on them. These guys are what they are. Hopefully, Getz uses this as a learning lesson and realizes that this is what the future likely holds for Robert, barely playing due to injury just like Eloy and Moncada. Get him as healthy as he can be and trade him after an extended hot streak. The flip side is that Robert stays healthy by some miracle and the Sox won’t be able to re-sign him anyways so I don’t see a reason to not trade him. I agree with trading Robert. The guy Robert reminds me of is Eric Davis to some degree. Davis put up some great years but was always injured. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteSox2023 Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 (edited) 146 plate appearances, .669 OPS, and 2 injuries already this season. So what exactly is Eloy good at, considering he can’t play defense? Edited May 22 by WhiteSox2023 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shago Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 ILoy is a total piece of sh't -- guy's unwritten "training" regimen is to get hurt so he can play video games on the couch and smoke weed. 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why is that crazy? Players have clauses that say they can't skydive or ride motorcycles. But teams don't usually park a van outside their house, and kidnap them when they're pulling the Ninja 250R out of the garage. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TLR might have been a washed up drunk, but the dude had been around professional ballplayers for decades. He knew that he had a bunch of prima donnas and china dolls on the roster and tried to delay the inevitable injuries for as long as possible. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
