ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted November 29, 2019 Share Posted November 29, 2019 Imagine the Starlin Marte ideas should start swelling here soon now that he has essentially demanded a trade to a contender, and the Sox *might* fit that category if he is paying attention. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sox Twitter seems to be on board for Marte in RF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoxAce Posted November 30, 2019 Share Posted November 30, 2019 Just now, ChiliIrishHammock24 said: Why wouldn't Marte go to RF? Because he's never played RF in his career before? Just because a guy is elite in one position doesn't mean he'll be great at the other. Hell I remember the Royals quickly squashing that decision with Alex Gordon in RF years ago (if I'm not mistaken, he's rarely played over there after that) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's always had the arm (alot of which makes him an analytical darling) but it's still a different position in terms of angles out there. I think he'll be solid, just not elite. Although with our defense in general, it's a major step up. Edited November 30, 2019 by SoxAce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisox378 Posted November 30, 2019 Share Posted November 30, 2019 CAREER 812 KS TO 196 WALKS FOR MARTE..... If we want that type of production we can find it in our farm system. I'd rather go with players that can walk and get on base. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Career OBP is .341 - this would: a) Give him the third highest OBP on the White Sox b) Make him 44 points higher that Billy Hamilton’s career OBP c) all of the above 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You think he would be solid in RF, but would rather move Eloy, who is a bad defender, to RF, where defense is more important, and move the clearly better defender to the less demanding LF? ????? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would have two elite defenders in LF and CF since Marte has never played RF (you know what he is in left) You can hide Eloy in RF and tell Robert to go get everything covered in right center. You think Jermaine Dye was good in RF when the Sox were good? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But his arm was a helluva lot better than Scotty Pods. Why don't the Cubs hide Schwarber in RF and put their clearly better defender, Heyward, in LF?

(Heyward has never played LF in his career FYI) The Royals once upon a time tried Alex Gordon in RF because of his athleticism.. he wasn't that good out there so they left him in LF instead and he's been one of the best defensive LFs in the game for about a decade. If we wanted to go get a good defensive LF with a good arm who is right handed with power, why not just go after Ozuna who is a free agent without giving up assets?
