That's why nobody takes you seriously. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This whole “keep him for charity event” is so stupid. They face the division leader and 3 RHP this weekend. Perfect time for Collins and Palka to both be in the lineup. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotty22hotty Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 i find it amazing he couldnt perform to around league average to make another $9m. instead he was one of the worst player in the league... good riddance. Thankfully it was justified but will likely cause trouble with possible future FA with creative contracts/options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are assuming Palka will be called up and maybe it's not a big deal but the way the media attacks every single thing about the Sox I'd think it would be a factor. Maybe it shouldn't be but already in the stories I've seen one of the first things mentioned was his charity event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Sacamano Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 I mean he can still host the charity event. If I recall, when Latos was dfa'd, he still went to a charity event later in the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TaylorStSox Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 And yeah, based on the rebuild being exactly where it's supposed to be despite injuries to Kopech, Rodon, Dunning, Hansen, Burdi, Hamilton, Adolfo, Basabe, Lambert, Burger and a few others kind of shows that Hahn might know what he's doing. He absolutely fleeced the Cubs and Nationals and we still have a shitload of money to spend. I know, it doesn't fit the Soxtalk narrative though. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesdiego Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 Can Sanchez even play SS with his arm? From what I remember it was too weak for SS. Which makes sense since they barely play him there. If Sanchez can’t play SS then we shouldn’t be so eager to trade Rodon who can do so halfway decently. How is Mendicks defense at SS? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chw42 Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 (edited) At least Rick's not one to hold onto his failures forever. First Santana and now Alonso. I think what's kind of funny is that Jon Jay coming back probably shortened Yonder's time on this team. Edited June 27, 2019 by chw42 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mendick has played SS more than any other position in the minors. He's played all SS, 2B and 3B about this same this season, with a little LF sprinkled in (including getting the start in LF tonight). Can't speak to his defense at SS specifically, but think he's known to be a solid defender. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garcia, CF Moncada, 3B Jimenez, LF Abreu, 1B McCann, C Collins, DH Anderson, SS Palka, RF Sanchez, 2B I want to see that lineup with Castillo, Cordell, and Jay on the bench. Palka is awful. Amazing how many sox fans still think he is worthy of a mlb roster spot 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need a strong arm for SS though. Sometimes needing to make throws while going away from first base. I don’t think Yolmer has that arm to play there for longer than emergencies. Garcia and Rondon have strong enough arms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amazing how many sox fans still think he is worthy of a mlb roster spot He has shown good on base skills in Charlotte this year and throughout his minor league career. He also has shown the ability to hit a baseball really fucking hard. What does someone like Charlie Tilson bring to the table offensively? Or Cordell?
