Chicago White Sox Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 We really should start giving Saladino some time in the OF. He's got a better bat than both Avi & Shuck and would likely be as good of a defender as either of them (and very likely better than Avi). He could be Ben Zobrist lite if used correctly.

Dick Allen Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 Avi is no longer the worst defensive RF in baseball. Kendrys Morales is playing RF tonight for KC. First time since 2008. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's really too bad, because it would be a great way to get him some playing time while improving an area of need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They gave him some looks in AAA, not sure if that was before or after his TJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 Shields with a 3.27 ERA in his last 11 innings pitched. Fwiw, two of those runs were on Fat Albers. The guillotine hovering over Hahn isn't quite so oppressive...he can loosen his tie collar a bit and roll up the sleeves and get back to work on trading for more high-paid veterans.

If we had another outfielder (Jackson or trade) to replace Avi, Saladino at 3rd, Frazier at 1st and Abreu at DH would be workable. Obviously, Tyler didn't quite cut it last year at 3rd, but he seems much more comfortable/confident this year. Like he fits in more and feels like he belongs at this level, instead of trying to prove himself every time out. Of course, that arrangement would also block Morneau (eventually). As a way to get through the next week with Melky out, it's as good as anything, I suppose. Edited June 30, 2016 by caulfield12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elrockinMT Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 Heard that when they held Garcia out for a couple days it was tivworkvin his swing in hopes he would hit the ball in the air. In the last two games I don't think he has lifted one yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 Saladino currently at a 726 OPS. Anderson 787, Garcia still a paltry 662. Don't want to discuss Coats or Shuckster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
