Yes you do understand c'mon now , you know baseball ,he just pitched , he's useless for probably 3 or 4 days. Just call him Yo Yo Carroll up and down up and down.

bmags Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 With how badly our bullpen was burned this weekend, they may want to keep Carrol a bit longer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChiSox59 Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 I wonder if the delay in the official announcement (since Carroll was optioned, seemed likely someone is on the way), is the hope that they can get Valencia off waivers today to take the roster spot. Not exactly sure what time of the day that the claim will be officially awarded, but it should be today sometime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chisoxfn Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 I am inherently biased towards Trayce (have long been one of his biggest fans on this site) but I wonder if in this day and age he actually has a lot more upside then we give him credit. If you put him in RF, with his defensive skills and the new aged statistical measures, are we going to see a guy whose bat is mediocre but his glove is so strong, that we are talking about a pretty valuable overall rf'er (and a major long-term upgrade over Avi)? I'm probably overstating things but if Trayce's metrics grade out as good as his defensive tools suggest (and w/Avi's current struggles) this would probably be as good of an era as any to come up (and we might even see him be the type of guy whose bat, which initially will be below average, slowly grades into solid).
