pettie4sox Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 Lol Shuck might be a 4th outfielder on a contending team but he should be starting on the Sox in Avi's place with Avi being 4th outfielder by committee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greg775 Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 QUOTE (shysocks @ Sep 3, 2015 -> 08:21 PM) No. At least he tries to get a hit and not blast it right at players in a shift. On this team he's a starter definitely.

Exactly. But I was thinking he should replace LaRoche. LaRoche has no business playing in the big leagues anymore on a regular basis. Pinch hitter vs. righties maybe.

This is what people don't realize. the Sox ineptitude has helped Minnesota be a surprise team in the division this year. Owning the White Sox has made a big difference in their season. Sox have a terrible attitude against their division foes. Edited September 3, 2015 by greg775 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pettie4sox Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 QUOTE (shysocks @ Sep 3, 2015 -> 02:21 PM) No. Shuck is a competent defender and a decent bat.

Balta1701 Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 Is it ok yet to note that Eduardo Escobar was labeled on this site as "Just a utility player" and he's absolutely ripping us and contributed to the Twins for a couple years now?

shysocks Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Sep 3, 2015 -> 02:33 PM) Shuck is a competent defender and a decent bat. That's more that can be said about a few of the alleged starters RV throws out there. I wouldn't play him ahead of any of our outfielders. That includes Avi, who we perhaps still have to learn some things about. We know what Shuck is, and it's a 4th outfielder. A singles hitter. I'd be okay with him platooning with LaRoche.

cabiness42 Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 Is it ok yet to note that Eduardo Escobar was labeled on this site as "Just a utility player" and he's absolutely ripping us and contributed to the Twins for a couple years now? Escobar put up a .676 OPS in 2307 PA in the minor leagues, and a .559 OPS in 104 PA with the Sox. In order to see him as anything other than a utility player, you would have needed to see a fixable flaw in his swing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In order to see him as anything other than a utility player, you would have needed to see a fixable flaw in his swing. A .676 OPS, even slightly below that, is a decent SS at this point. I really do think we get way too happy to say "Oh this guy is nothing, he's just a utility player", at least on this site. We could use some "Decent, slightly above replacement, utility players". That's better than what we've had at several spots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
