CWSpalehoseCWS 796 Posted February 23, 2019 Why? Guy played LF almost exclusively last season and is another left handed bat. What the hell did Palka do to piss off the FO? He deserves to be playing everyday. Fans want to see him play everyday. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Swingandalongonetoleft 115 Posted February 24, 2019 (edited) This team should just stop. What the fuck are they thinking? It feels a little like my pet bunny rabbit dying again each time another horrifying headline rears it's terrible face. Jay, Alonso, pathetically missing on Machado, Ervin Santana, and now Denard fucking Span. Edited February 24, 2019 by Swingandalongonetoleft 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jay isn't a CF , he's way too slow. Denard at least still has some wheels. Then Engel could be what he's supposed to be a back up. Then Jay can be shit canned.

Jimenez will play no doubt about that so will Palka, Delmonico is a nobody, You might be the only one who still wants to see Engel. I'm good with him as a defensive replacement, Delmonico AAAA fodder 27 in JULY ,Engel 27 already . I don't consider them kids. Span will play better defense than anyone but Engel. Our pitchers do need someone out there to actually catch the ball when you have Jimenez in LF and Palka in RF for the majority of the year. Yes I'm hoping Jay gets released before the 1st game.

I'm with you, as long as they would indeed release Jay. I'd rather have Span in center, than Jay, but not both of them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was a huge Davidson fan. And he's gone. And a huge Avi fan. He gone. The replacements sicken me. It's time to get rid of Hahn and Kenny. Let somebody else draft our next two top five picks.

In hindsight, I’m sure many people would rather have Davidson and Avi still on the team over the more expensive duo of Alonso and Jay. But these same people didn’t expect Hahn to fail so miserably and whiff on Machado. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe Denard Span will be part of that equation. White Sox are the team that goes broke in a dollar store. Pure classic stuff right here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
