chitownsportsfan Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 (edited) Is this Q's 2nd to last tuneup? Maybe he goes 6. We really don't need 7 weeks of spring. I'd be fine starting the season on March 31st. Alexei doing his thing. Bails on a bad hop but with that hand eye not even a problem.

chitownsportsfan Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 Jesus Alexei stop it man. Does he age? Surely he's lost a step from 27 but man his reflexes seem as good as ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was watching videos from all the games in April prior to his injury, as his horrible defense might have cost the Sox 3 different games they ended up losing.

I was watching videos from all the games in April prior to his injury, as his horrible defense might have cost the Sox 3 different games they ended up losing. His speed should be fine at least. He looks much faster from losing the weight. The real question will be how hesitant he is with balls close to fence or within diving range cause of his shoulder.

The real question will be how hesitant he is with balls close to fence or within diving range cause of his shoulder. Physically he's pretty athletic IMO for a guy that big. His problem is mostly what you mentioned -- he doesn't get good reads and he tends to sorta get caught in between diving and pulling up on balls hit to his left. If he just makes most the routine plays and holds most guys to doubles on balls into the corner I'll be happy.
