Dick Allen Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jun 23, 2015 -> 09:07 PM) Then he should be real pissed at Alexi! I think a vet with Alexei's track record gets a little more slack. The fact is Micah wasn't ready defensively and they sent him back down, nothing wrong with that.

Chicago White Sox Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jun 23, 2015 -> 09:04 PM) Yes. I posted in another thread the pitchers, especially Samardzpjiza were gettimg very frustrated with Micah's defense. And it isn't like he was raking offensively. He wasn't raking, but he was holding his own as rookie, which doesn't happen often with Sox farmhands. Either way, if you go by WAR, Sanchez has provided less overall value than Micah on a per game basis. I don't view WAR as the end-all-be-all, but it should be clear to any U.S. of watching these games on a daily basis that Sanchez has been incredibly bad and has shown no signs of improving. He will no doubt get better at some point if we keep feeding him at-bats, but the kid is simply a slap hitter and one who is unlikely to get on-base at a high rate or steal a lot of bags. His offensive game is so limited that he has almost no chance of being even average starting 2B IMO despite his glove. If we're going to suffer through growing pains, at least do so with the guy who has the potential to be an above-average starter. Playing Sanchez right now is not helping in the short-term or long-term. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago White Sox Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Jun 23, 2015 -> 09:02 PM) To my completely nonprofessional eyes, Micah's issues are his stone hands much more than something easily learnable like footwork or positioning. I just don't see him ever being even an average second baseman. I'd love to be proven wrong, though. Maybe you'll end up being right, but I think the sample size was too small to jump to any conclusions. He deserved a longer look IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was apparent weeks ago and it's a shame that Flowers continues to get the lion's share of the starts. Hopefully that changes soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buehrle>Wood Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 QUOTE (Condor13 @ Jun 23, 2015 -> 08:59 PM) Alexei, Conor, and Flowers have been and will always be the worst culprits. If the Sox want to continue to lose then by all means keep running Alexei, Conor, and Sanchez out there. Eh. You need your memory checked. Micah was on pace for a historically bad defensive season. In fact his dwar was worse than all 3 of those players despite playing less than of of their games. You cant have that on an already terrible defensive team. Don't really care who is at 2b, but it can't be Micah unless he's proved drastically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
