WestEddy Posted March 6 Author Share Posted March 6 Amaya is starting way too much for my comfort. Drury looks like he's made the team, and they're looking for a spot. Also, Julks/Fletcher/Colas for a 2nd day in a row. DeLoach and Mitchell seem to be out of that tier of starting time. Narvaez also seems to be in serious enough consideration for him to be in a regular rotation with Lee and Thaiss. Maybe they just want competent veteran pitch calling for the starting pitchers in the early games instead of letting Teel/Quero get their exposure with 3 PAs a game. 2B SS 3B 22-Feb cubs Meidroth Montgomery Vargas 23-Feb royals Rojas Amaya Sosa 24-Feb rangers Gray Meidroth Vargas 25-Feb rockies Sosa Montgomery Rojas 26-Feb padres Meidroth Amaya Vargas 27-Feb guardians Rojas Gray Sosa 28-Feb angels Baldwin Amaya Vargas 1-Mar mariners Sosa Meidroth Rojas 2-Mar dodgers Baldwin Amaya Vargas 3-Mar athletics Rojas Meidroth Drury 5-Mar ss brewers Rojas Amaya Sosa 5-Mar ss brewers Meidroth Baldwin Vargas 6-Mar giants Baldwin Amaya Drury Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who would you want to start at SS if that happens? Seems like they are just going with Amaya because he may be the best defender at SS.

Expand I almost feel like ST doesn’t matter for him to the Sox and that they will start him in the rotation regardless due to how he pitched last year in 124 innings.

Hopefully he is smart enough to take advantage and set a career high in BB’s and OBP, but we all know how much he likes to hack at low and away garbage.
