caulfield12 Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 QUOTE (fathom @ May 21, 2015 -> 08:25 PM) Seems like there's a big lack of power in the minors as well. Not quite sure why that is. Seems like not too long ago we were talking about Thompson, Barnum, Hawkins, Trey M., Davidson, Wilkins, Black, Kevan Smith as potential power sources.... Even if they do have power, what will their K and BB rates be? I'm almost missing the excitement of a random Viciedo hot streak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chitownsportsfan Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 (edited) I swear to god there's something rotten on the South Side. I have never seen a team field so many players THAT AREN'T EVEN REPLACEMENT. You sign Melky, below replacement 40 games, go figure. You bring up your young exciting 2B, below replacement. His replacement so far? Below replacement. Your SS? Well below replacement. Adam Eaton, below replacement. Catcher? He, don't make me laugh. WTF MAN. I think the Sox may have to redefine their version of raplacement because they can't find any FOR s***.

Only a few options on the current team, and Avi just showed how important it can be. Mor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would put this right up there with the Adam Dunn experience as one of those things you literally (and I do mean literally) think could never, ever happen -- and yet here we are. I guess if you roll the dice enough times you'll see about everthing but if this was my OOTP team I'd be rage quitting. It's unfathomable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WilliamTell Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 The Sox get me every time! I thought we'd take 3 of 4 instead of the opposite. Hopefully they can turn it around. Hoping for a 5-2 road trip is now out the window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
