Since both Merkin and Steve Stone mentioned it recently, I don’t think the Sox will stick with Engel as that guy. Doesn't Leury have great RH splits?

Chicago White Sox Posted December 25, 2019 Share Posted December 25, 2019 25 minutes ago, Quin said: So how do we feel about this compared to Castellanos? Less defensive flexibility (not saying much considering NC's skill in the OF), lower average, more power, roughly equal OBP, and more flexibility for the future. I think I prefer EE's power in the Cell / leaves room for Vaughn in the future. I prefer EE over Castellanos. If both would take one year deals, I’d go with Nick simply due to flexibility but that’s not happening. Plus this allows us to make a serious offer to Springer next offseason.

Chisox378 Posted December 25, 2019 Share Posted December 25, 2019 So if we do sign EE, which is a signing I am not hot on, what happens to Collins? Mazara to CF, Collins can play RF? I would do that and train Collins for RF. Otherwise Collins looks to be in AAA for season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago White Sox Posted December 25, 2019 Share Posted December 25, 2019 22 minutes ago, Quin said: I think they're done with bats, with Engel as the defensive sub and Leury as the super sub. With Collins/McCann, we could carry a 5 man bench with the new 26 person roster. I guess it comes down to how we feel with Yermin as the third catcher. I don’t see enough playing time for both McCann & Collins with EE as DH. I think one of them is moved or Collins starts the year in AAA. I’m also certain they add at least one more bench piece. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mazara will be our starting CF and Collins to RF but only against LHP. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best Sox prospect since Frank Thomas is “too raw” the lineup looks good enough with EE to absorb a fair amount of “rawness” from both Madrigal and Robert 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
