Dick Allen Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 QUOTE (Feeky Magee @ Aug 20, 2014 -> 08:37 PM) Question for the veteran fans here - what's the worst offensive season by a Sox player you can remember? I wanna compare some of the worst statistically to Leury Garcia 2014. Dunn 2011. Karkovice between 1986-1987 was horrid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaliSoxFanViaSWside Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 20, 2014 -> 06:32 PM) It's a joke that Leury is still in the majors. There are so many bad players on this roster. Who else can play infield and outfield without needing Minor league AB's for development ? Otherwise you might conclude PK being on the roster is why Leury is also. But I can't recall you ever weighing in on PK's presence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He hit .130 those years combined. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaliSoxFanViaSWside Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 Leury is only up playing because of his lack of hitting talent. The Sox probably don't believe he has the talent to be a good ML hitter so he's here strictly for speed and defensive versatility. Any other youngster who might have hitting ability has to have AB's in the minors. Leury doesn't. But still it's all made possible by the letters P and K.

kitekrazy Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 (edited) It's nice to have two young guys in the line up producing. The secret to their success is not spending any or very little time in the Sox farm system. Edited August 21, 2014 by kitekrazy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxAce Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Aug 20, 2014 -> 08:38 PM) What a horrible thing to say. And EJax was pretty decent with the Sox so I am going with Vazquez. Neither are bad choices. I agree with Jackson though. Javy did pitch here for 3 years. Jackson was pretty much one and done.

Even when they did score a few runs off him a month or so ago, he was hurt. He should be a big part of team next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He hit .130 those years combined. Yeah, horrendous obviously, but he did walk twice as much and hit for a decent amount more power than Leury. A normal or even merely sub-par BABIP and he would have out-produced Leury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
