bmags Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 Just want to say congrats to Saladino, who has now eliminated all doubts that we need to sign trash like Bonifacio or Rollins in future. We should rotate and rest more often. While he is best at third, reeally nice to have a bench infield player we can trust. First in a while...since Pablo was poppin roids. He is a horrible interview though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiSox59 Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 Loved me some Pablo Ozuna. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Y2Jimmy0 Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 I thought Saladino got traded when I saw the thread title.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheTruth05 Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 Salad has been nothing short of awesome in his limited time playing. Ventura does get some credit for spotting him appropriate playing time and not over exposing him either. Overall nice to see Salad making it.

Oh god this reminds me of the days of him and Rangel Ravelo being our food themed prospects. But really, Saladino has been awesome. He's a perfect supersub.

bmags Posted June 30, 2016 Author Share Posted June 30, 2016 I think he can spell more, honestly. Frazier/Lawrie have had very few days off. Same with Abreu. Can do more Frazier at 1st, Salad/Lawrie third, Salad/Lawrie at 2nd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harkness99 Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 I kind of feel bad for him... he deserves to play more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, but he definitely knows his role. Seems like a laid back, hard nosed, give it all he got type of player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjm676 Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 I wish he was versatile enough to play the OF. Sox could use that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Chappas Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 No reason with his speed that he can't be a Zobrist type player and work in the outfield. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jose Abreu Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 What's most surprising to me about his season is how well he has hit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerksticks Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 I really think he's an MLB starting shortstop. Glad we have him as spare parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmags Posted June 30, 2016 Author Share Posted June 30, 2016 When season started I wanted + defense from him and a .630 OPS and I thought we'd be okay. He's hit .260 with a .720 OPS. With his spot starts that's even more impressive. On pace for 10 HR even in a reserve role Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesdiego Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 He needs to be playing more. He could sub a little bit more for Lawrie, and he should most definitely be taking at bats from Garcia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Davidson now hurt I think Saladino could get some more playing time in the field while DHing Frazier and Abreu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenSox Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 (edited) I think he's more than a utility player; he's steadily improving, has a nice swing, runs the bases well and is a solid defender. People debase/under-value young Sox players who aren't hyped prospects...which is fine, except when the front office does it on its own players, as it has been doing the last couple of years. That shouldn't happen. 3 ML ready players went for Samardzija, and 3 went for Frazier. And they have several ready this year. I'm glad they're floating several onto the major league team to see if they are players. Most won't make it, some will, and I suspect Saladino will. Saladino should play regularly. L Garcia should be the utility player. Edited July 1, 2016 by GreenSox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
