flavum Posted September 23, 2015 Author Share Posted September 23, 2015 Wouldn't it be nice if LaRoche told Ventura "Don't bother starting me the rest of the year. I'm retiring anyway."? But 13 mil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe a platoon option. No reason for him not to play. He probably sucks but he has less than 400 big league plate appearances total.

No reason for him not to play. He probably sucks but he has less than 400 big league plate appearances total. He doesn't have anything and his defense is atrocious. Barring him being prime Albert Pujols over the last 10 games (lol), he has no spot here. Would much rather have Saladino as well as Sanchez and Micah get the experience. Still really want to see those 3 start across the infield in one of these final games. Does not seem like we'll get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjm676 Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 i think by now, they know what they have in Olt and Micah Johnson. Not many are positives. Might as well just play out the string. They need warm bodies in the lineup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No reason for him not to play. He probably sucks but he has less than 400 big league plate appearances total. His splits indicate he isn't much of a platoon option. Saladino should be getting more of the playing time, he is the better player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully Montas goes five with some run support and gets the win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saladino should be getting more of the playing time, he is the better player. Saladino isn't a starting 3B option either though. They could start him at SS or use him as a utility guy. Saladino will not be the starting 3B next season if they plan on contending. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saladino should be getting more of the playing time, he is the better player. I'd argue that there is no indication of anything because he only has 400 major league plate appearances.

southsider2k5 Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Sep 23, 2015 -> 09:54 AM) Why mike olt why Its late September and we suck. This is exactly the time to play guys like Mike Olt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Chappas Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 Mike Olt has a higher ceiling and lower floor than Tyler Saladino and the White Sox are hoping he can make strides toward getting there. No real risk as they know what they have in Saldino. Personally I think Ramirez should be sitting with Saladino or Sanchez at short. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not many are positives. Might as well just play out the string. They need warm bodies in the lineup. I think you meant Carlos Sanchez. Micah should be starting every game to evaluate his defensive improvement. Even an adequate fielding 2b with Micah's on base/speed potential is super valuable to this club.

Totally agree, I still think you can get a talented, yet underperforming player back for Avi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd take a decent reliever at this point. Is Montas on a pitch count today? Website said it's a "bullpen day" so I assume we get Montas for 50 pitches then 6 innings of Carroll underwhelming the world.

Knackattack Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 Montas looks like he could be a set up guy next year but he really needs to develop a good change if he wants to start. Fastball command is pretty good but his off-speed pitch doesn't look like an out pitch to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
