Springfield Soxfan Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 Dyson seems to be one of those KW guys. Why not? We have some slow guys who might be on base paths late in game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is going to pinch run and be a defensive replacement. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they ain't using it might as well get the fastest OF in the majors or whatever. That's good then, I guess. Dyson is an elite defender and speedster, so I guess he's not terrible to have around to replace Eloy in LF in 9th innings if Engel is playing RF. Also as a pinch runner in extras. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HaroldSouthside Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 His SB career numbers are very impressive. 85% career success rate. Stole 30 out of 34 attempts last year. Is 4 for 4 this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the extra inning rule of a man on 2nd to start the inning effective in the playoffs as well this year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigHurt3515 Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 Having Engel and Dyson as the back ups in the OF gives us a lot of different opportunities late in games to pinch run/replace Eloy and Nomar in the OF. Nothing wrong with it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheTruth05 Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 (edited) He seems to be a luxury on a roster with Engel already here and a smaller playoff roster. Edited August 28, 2020 by TheTruth05 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maloney.adam Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 (edited) I actually like this move. It gives us a pinch runner with speed and a defensive replacement off the bench. Also he has World Series experience which is a plus. Edited August 28, 2020 by maloney.adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quin Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 Give up nothing - as this doesn't affect Cespedes or Colas - to acquire Engel Lite, which is good because our LF is Eloy and our RF is Mazara. I'm cool with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t have Eloy in LF in key late inning defensive situations. Plus as others have said, he’s a weapon on 2B in extra innings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
