WhiteSox2023 Posted August 29 Share Posted August 29 How to burn $7.3 million dollars, with one stupid trade… Trade a reliever with value for bums like Lopez and Soroka.

Falstaff Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 I don't fault Nicky, he is what he is and his value is coming off the bench for baserunning or as a defense replacement. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right. Guys here are too tough on him. He hits .240ish, hustles, decent defense, etc. If he is slightly overpaid, so what? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, Nicky Lopez has played like...Nicky Lopez this year. I don't think anyone was really expecting anything different. It's just sad that the team was constructed so he needed to play every day. He'd have been fine as a bench piece. Him being on waivers doesn't necessarily mean anything. I'd be surprised if he is DFAd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, why would you be surprised if Lopez is DFA? His $4.3 million salary is a sunk cost already and Baldwin, Sosa, and Amaya should get most of the at bats in the infield over a guy the Sox are going to non-tender anyways.

With the way they hyped him up in all of the early season promos, he definitely wasn't riding the pine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please, no more Sosa, bring up Montgomery and play him every day at SS with Baldwin out there everyday at 2B. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, I'd rather they played Lopez at 2B or SS with Baldwin playing the other spot before calling up Montgomery for no reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He shouldn't have been designated as the starting 2B of a major league team. But, this is the White Sox we're talking about. And because it's the White Sox is why I'd be surprised if he's DFAd. They've made few smart decisions this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Montgomery hasn't exactly set the International League on fire and his numbers have only gotten worse as the season has gone on. After hovering around .700 OPS for about a month, he finally dropped below .700 and seems to be trending toward .666 (!!!). Couple that with his mediocre defense, we might wanna pump the brakes on this guy a little bit. What are the odds he ends up as a first baseman who can't hit? We already have a couple guys like that. What are the odds that the player development/hitting staff did this to him? I suspect very high. Is he recovering from a back injury and he'll be fine next year? Maybe. But calling up our "best" hitting prospect so that he can go 0 for 100 seems to me like it would be the s%*# cherry on top of a s%*# sundae called the 2024 White Sox. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
