Engel RF 9. D. Mendick 2B SP L.Lynn So looking at this lineup the one spot I would like to see upgraded is 2B. I'm ok with Engel in RF because defense is so important in the playoffs. There are enough bats in that lineup. You add a Frazier or an Escobar in the 2B spot in that lineup and you have a team that has a legit shot at getting to the WS.

Chicago White Sox Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 Almost impossible to answer this question without seeing who they add before the deadline. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's almost a circular argument for me. I don't want to give up too much for a 3 month rental at 2B *unless* they are fully healthy and viable for the WS. Unfortunately we ain't know that until after the trading deadline. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ron883 Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 Only 2 LH bats in that lineup. I'd be surprised if they don't acquire a lefty bat for 2ns base or RF. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpringfieldFan Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 What if game 1 is NL hosted? Without the DH does Eloy take an outfield spot over Engel? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 The hard part is not knowing how everyone is playing at that point either, or even who is still on the roster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago White Sox Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 IF our team is 100% healthy, IF we add no one else, & IF we’re facing a righty: Anderson, SS Moncada, 3B# Abreu, 1B Jimenez, LF Grandal, C# Robert, CF Collins, DH* Eaton, RF* Mendick, 2B That being said, we 100% need to add a 2B as Mendick isn’t going to cut it offensively. And we almost certainly need to add an OF as expecting April Adam Eaton would be incredibly foolish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope we have better options at 2B and RF come October. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If everyone is healthy there are 8 outfielders I would rather have than him. Sheets may be a reach at this point, but Adam Eaton is useless.
