Chicago White Sox Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 7 minutes ago, Jack Parkman said: Yeah, it would probably be either Jay or Palka. Maybe even Alonso. Any of the three players could potentially get spelled by Guyer. I think Guyer platoons with Palka in LF and Rondon DHs against LHP. Alonso must have a platoon partner for him to avoid his 2020 salary becoming guaranteed and I really don’t see another option on the roster.

Consistently awful on defense, consistently underperforms in the early season and until the Sox are out of it, then consistently mashes when there is no pressure.

I don't know how many times we have to disprove this point of yours. One would think that you'd acknowledge the evidence consistently presented that counters your claim, but you persist, which is why people think you're just trolling. Nonetheless, here we go again: Jose Abreu's OPS by month: March/April: .832 May: .817 June: .852 July: .876 August: .966 September: .866 With the exception of him being better in August, the other figures are all normal statistical variations that would be present given the sample size being used. If an .832 OPS in April and an .817 OPS in May is someone "consistently underperforming' then he's the least of our problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You just proved my point. Combine that with his awful defense and you have a very frustrating player. He would be a solid DH on a team with better offense around him. He shouldn't be at 1st.

caulfield12 Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 Quote Some of the projections have Frare, Covey and Fulmer making the team, Banuelos, depending on how Santana's health goes (Ervin's first appearance is likely to be this upcoming Friday, March 15th). For the bullpen, we know that Colome, Herrera, Jones and Fry will definitely be there, and likely two lefties (total). For the bench, it's looking like Delmonico will be the first "odd man out," especially after the concussion. Tucker will likely be eliminated in favor of Guyer. That leaves McCann, Guyer, Rondon and Leury Garcia for now as the final four bench pieces. Eventually something will have to give when Jimenez comes up (unfortunately, it might be Palka's time, because we already have Alonso and Jay and Leury who will stay at the big league level or be waived/released, in the case of the latter two).

So let me get this straight, Ron, you want a player to have a better March (how many games are played in March anyways), April, and May, than June, July, August and Sept? But if your gripe is Abreu plays better baseball when the Sox are out of playoff picture, then it's not his fault that the Sox are a shitty team and is out of the race by June.

Y2Jimmy0 Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 Minaya has been outrighted so that changes some things here. I think Ian Hamilton goes down to start and Ervin Santana begins on the DL. 1B Jose Abreu 2B Yolmer Sanchez SS Tim Anderson 3B Yoan Moncada DH Yonder Alonso C Welington Castillo CF Adam Engel LF Daniel Palka RF Jon Jay Bench INF Jose Rondon INF/OF Leury Garcia OF Brandon Guyer C James McCann Pitching Staff Carlos Rodon LHP Reynaldo Lopez RHP Lucas Giolito RHP Ivan Nova RHP LHP Manny Banuelos RHP Alex Colome RHP Kelvin Herrera RHP Nate Jones RHP Dylan Covey RHP Ryan Burr LHP Jace Fry LHP Caleb Frare Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flavum Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 Opening Day vs Brad Keller (yes, that Brad Keller): Jay CF, Anderson SS, Abreu 1B, Alonso DH, Castillo C, Moncada 3B, Palka RF, Sanchez 2B, Garcia LF Bench- Engel, Rondon, Guyer, McCann Rotation- Rodon, Nova, Lopez, Giolito Bullpen until 4/8- Covey, Banuelos, Frare, Burr, Fry, Jones, Herrera, Colome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Y2Jimmy0 Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 With the Eloy extension news, I thought I'd take another stab at the roster. Position Players 1B Jose Abreu DH Yonder Alonso 2B Yolmer Sanchez 3B Yoan Moncada SS Tim Anderson C Welington Castillo LF Eloy Jimenez CF Jon Jay RF Daniel Palka CF Adam Engel IF/OF Leury Garcia IF Jose Rondon C James McCann Pitchers Carlos Rodon Reynaldo Lopez Lucas Giolito Ivan Nova Manny Banuelos Dylan Covey Ryan Burr Caleb Frare Nate Jones Jace Fry Kelvin Herrera Alex Colome I think they go with 13 position players and 12 pitchers to start. Ian Hamilton down to AAA to get ready after setback. Ervin Santana begins the season on the DL. Brandon Guyer and Nick Delmonico are final cuts. Guyer should be on the roster instead of Engel but he won't be because the White Sox have an infatuation with keeping bad baseball players around. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

August, September and May are far and away his three best months by combined three year splits. April around 750, June/July, around 790.
