southsider2k5 Posted May 17, 2012 Author Share Posted May 17, 2012 QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ May 17, 2012 -> 02:20 PM) Pujols no but the other two sure. The other two have one home run and they were game changing home runs this year that is all I am saying. When Escobar and Morel do that, than I will be at peace with the situation. There is a massive difference between those guys. Escobar has 14 career homers in 6 seasons in the minors. Raburn had 14 for Detroit last year. Peralta hit 21 last year. Morel has 13 homers in his major league career. Even in the minors his high was 16 at A ball. I'd be pretty f***ing thrilled if either of those guys put up anything resembling Pujols, Raburn, and Peralta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greg775 Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ May 16, 2012 -> 08:37 PM) He has? well, he went to the Royals and I thought at least one other organization. Beckham still has at least 2 organizations ahead to give him a chance before he's kicked out of baseball. Brian Anderson also went to KC and I believe one other team before he became a pitcher. Beckham has plenty of chances left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 I'd still rather see Escobar out there than Morel. Escobar: -lacks 500+ AB's of bad offense (yes, I'd rather hold out for his ceiling of .260 and no power) -plays fundamental baseball (wow! bunting and stuff) -swings like he isn't afraid to hit something -generally carries himself with some enthusiasm, like he isn't afraid every AB is going to get him demoted Morel: -sucks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The point that I was trying to make was that the White Sox have had some odd situations this year where struggling players burned them not that Brent Morel and Pujols are the same player. If you read it that way and want to continue to read it that way fine I'll agree with you. Albert Pujols is better than Eduardo Escobar. Albert Pujols had one home run and struggled all year. I said before the series that he and Hunter would combine for 2 homers and 5 RBI. They almost did. I did not mean it as a shot to anything but the White Sox seem to have an uncanny ability to have that happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I made the point that the Sox have been on the other side of this plenty this year too, putting the screws to guys who had been extremely hot this year.

I'm not campaigning to make Eduardo a fixture over there, but he is clearly better than Morel right now. It's clear from watching the games and we're only making Morel worse by leaving him out there to die. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
