Sleepy Harold Posted July 2, 2024 Author Share Posted July 2, 2024 A .463 OPS with a 30 OPS+ in 234 ABs this season is wild, a fall of epic proportions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rocky Posted July 2, 2024 Share Posted July 2, 2024 I feel for TA. A fan favorite and someone who I enjoyed cheering for. His fall is crazy. Wish him the best. 7 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Allen Posted July 2, 2024 Share Posted July 2, 2024 Pretty incredible downfall. That's 2 teams paying him this season, not to play for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted July 2, 2024 Share Posted July 2, 2024 I was hoping a change of scenery might do it for him, but I wonder if the leg injuries sapped his real talent. Love the guy, appreciate his struggles. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg775 Posted July 2, 2024 Share Posted July 2, 2024 Holy cow. This will be controversial, but I'd sign him. He's much better than what we got. He's a cheap contract and if we want to build on our pitching for next year, we have room for him at second base!! We can release Lopez and sign TA and have him get his act together with a strong eye on 2025. You can't deny we need a middle infielder til Monte is ready. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love the guy, appreciate his struggles. I don’t know if (relatively minor) leg injuries take away your ability to make contact with a baseball. I think it’s like 90% mental for TA. Don’t want to go as far to say I feel bad for him, but it does suck to see. The guy was damn near on the top of the world hitting that walk off at the field of dreams game and in less than 3 years he can’t find a job.

Making the least controversial statement in my SoxTalk posting career, Tim Anderson is not as productive as Nicky Lopez. 7 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreatScott82 Posted July 2, 2024 Share Posted July 2, 2024 (edited) Crazy that this 2021 playoff starting lineup was only 3 years ago: Tim Anderson, SS (DFA’d) Yoan Moncada, 3B (IL obsession) Jose Abreu, DH (DFA’d) Yasmani Grandal, C (barely hanging onto MLb career. Is bad) Luis Robert, CF (Only bright spot left) Eloy Jimenez, LF (IL obsession) Gavin Sheets, 1B (L) (Bench player) Adam Engel, RF (out of baseball) Leury Garcia, 2B (DFA’d) WTF happened these knuckleheads?

Paul DeJong is better than Tim Anderson, and I never thought I'd type that sentence. Hell, Nicky Lopez is better than TA right now. The Sox have at least four players who can play 2B and SS better than TA. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vilehoopster Posted July 2, 2024 Share Posted July 2, 2024 Wow, how quickly this happened, sooo quickly. Am I correct, wasn't it two years ago he was the starting short stop for the AL all-star game? Or three years ago? Can we please, please, please follow this lead and DFA Maldanado? I did say please. Why are we keeping him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
