He's way above average defensively right? he's one of the best defensive assets in MLB given how he's good to elite at 3B, SS, 2B. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greg775 Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Apr 5, 2018 -> 09:37 PM) Hawk was nice for a batter or two. Now he's rambling. I wonder if Hawk's eyesight is not so good. He was slow to confirm Yolmer had put that baby in play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elrockinMT Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 Yolmer triples in two runs. The ole Hawkeroo mistook Davidson for Abreu. Gotta love him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, in that half inning we learned that Avi should be an MVP candidate, Matt Davidson can hit 50 dongs, and Yolmer is the smartest guy on the team and most dangerous hitter against good pitching.

TheBlackSox8 Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 Sanchez is quickly becoming my favorite. Caught a couple of his off season workout videos, and I could tell he was focused and committed on having a great year. Shows right so far this season...

BlackSox13 Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Apr 5, 2018 -> 03:39 PM) Yolmer is good folks. Stop sleeping on him. Word! His defense alone was worth giving him a shot to start the season at third, along with his switch hitting bat. This is a year to let the kids play and he's one of them.

ScootsMcGoots Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 QUOTE (greg775 @ Apr 5, 2018 -> 04:40 PM) I wonder if Hawk's eyesight is not so good. He was slow to confirm Yolmer had put that baby in play. He also said they were waving in Abreu, when in fact it was Davidson. Man, I love hearing his voice again, but he is making the right decision to retire now. Heard a lot of those inaccurate calls last year as well.

I know there's a nostalgia factor for a lot of people with Hawk, but I cannot listen to him for more than a batter or two without pressing mute.

chitownsportsfan Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 I could watch Yolmer pick baseballs out of the dirt all day long. He has the best hands I've seen on a Sox middle infielder. Better than Alexei even. I guess Crede would compare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he can jump that up this year past this .150 plateau that would be interesting. First 4 years ISO .50 102 149 146 Last year of course he was able to finally get up to a more respectable obp too, so maybe that's more important.

greg775 Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 Hmmm, stay tuned. Hawk said "no" when Jason said he was gonna go into the crowd and the fans would ask him questions. They haven't addressed it since. I bet it'll be a between inning conversation whether this will take place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mostly love how he is so good at picking it in a place that he can get a good throw off. He doesn't have a rocket arm but it plays well even at 3b because he is always in position to get it out.
