South Side Fireworks Man Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 QUOTE (smalls2598 @ Jun 13, 2016 -> 01:28 PM) Full lineup: 1. Tim Anderson ® SS 2. Adam Eaton (L) CF 3. Melky Cabrera (S) LF 4. Jose Abreu ® 1B 5. Todd Frazier ® 3B 6. Brett Lawrie ® 2B 7. Avisail Garcia ® RF 8. Dioner Navarro (S) C 9. Jason Coats ® DH Just the fact that the Sox have to bat their DH 9th shows you how little depth they have. Why isn't Coats in RF with AVi DH? I hope it's because they are trying to showcase Avi as someone who can play OF for a trade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunt Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 13, 2016 -> 03:42 PM) The other idea could very well be the old Frank Thomas idea that he hits better when he plays the field, and they are trying to get Garcia's bat going again. If that's the case, DH Melky and have Coats in RF and Avi in LF. Coats should atleast be playing defense in this situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greg775 Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 QUOTE (TheTruth05 @ Jun 13, 2016 -> 08:21 PM) I just fail to understand why Avi keeps playing the field instead of Coats. Wtf? Besides that at least something different is being tried with the lineup. This guy is 26 years old and a 29th round pick? Doesn't sound too promising to me. Hope he gets a hit soon, albeit he's only zip for 7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCCWS Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Jun 13, 2016 -> 04:18 PM) The Ventura/Coop/KW era cannot come to end soon enough. You forgot Hahn. Supposedly this is his roster. If it is KW's then I agree w you. I assume you are happy w the offense??? I would include Steverson and Buddy Bell if they can find him. In fact throw in Herb Schneider. He has contributed to the downfall by keeping lousy players healthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 4-14 so far against KCR/DET/CLEVE. A lovely .222 winning percentage. 17-51 over 68 games if we didn't play the Twins and had 25.33333 games against the three best teams in the division. 36-126 over 162. TWTW.

Man I don't even know haha but if I had to take a stab: Eaton CF Anderson SS (because f*** it) Abreu 1B Frazier 3B Cabrera LF Lawrie 2B Navarro C Garcia DH (if you're going to put him in, DH him) Coats RF(/Shuck against a righty) Glad I'm the one who isn't in charge of writing the lineup. Edit: or 3-5 of Melky Abreu Frazier. Get a good contact hitting up in 3 spot, break up the righties a bit, and the all or nothing guy at the end of the middle of the lineup.

I was just taking a stab at a lineup with the current roster (Shuck against a righty, Coats against a lefty). Didn't know the guy on the mound is a lefty though. Thanks.
