Waylo Kneehigh Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 Thought I would share an interesting fantasy sleeper post from Razzball.com breaking down Daniel Palka's season last year, and some expectations this season. https://razzball.com/daniel-palka-2019-fantasy-baseball-sleeper/ I can't wait to see what he does this year!

ron883 Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 How long will they throw Palka out there in RF? He is so bad there. Abreu and Yonder have 1B/DH locked down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want him to get every chance, that power doesn't come around often. If he can put something together he could be impressive AND good for a while with sub par defense. Nothing says he won't get better in that area either though I'm not holding my breath. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soxfan49 Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 So you're definitely Palka, huh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waylo Kneehigh Posted March 23, 2019 Author Share Posted March 23, 2019 Well obviously I'm a big fan of his. No shame! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moan4Yoan Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 (edited) Go work on your defense so you aren’t a below average player. 😉 Edited March 23, 2019 by Harper2Sox 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ron883 Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 I'm hoping for some Palkamania, but don't have faith in his OBP and defense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiSox59 Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 (edited) I genuinely hope that is Palka. Edited March 23, 2019 by ChiSox59 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wegner Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 I am not sure that I trust him to be the Palka Smash we were treated to last year at his new weight...it's kinda like a skinny Santa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 I honestly don't even think he's going to start the year with the big league club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CWSpalehoseCWS Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 Just now, ChiSoxJon said: Alonso will be solid until he's dealt...unlike Jay who will suck We can only hope, but remember - it only took Alex Call to land him. Don't expect much, if anything. If the Sox were in the position to compete, Alonso isn't the worst thing in the world. But for this season, I would much rather have used the DH spot to rotate guys in and out and get consistent day-to-day AB's. Alonso totally disrupts that. I'm even more worried about the vesting option. I don't want to see him on the 2020 roster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moan4Yoan Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 Palka should be our DH but since Hahn completely choked his offseason, we get to watch Yonder Alonso waste DH at bats for $9 million. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pcq Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 Palka has been working on his OF agility. I know he butchered one the other day. I think they want to play him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
