Tomtom 91 Posted April 29 Can we stop the Josh Harrison expirament. With the exception of a few good defensie plays, this guy has done nothing offensively. This is another Cesar Hernanez! Should have gone after Adam Frazier to play 2nd base! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KipWellsFan 149 Posted April 29 Experiment? He doesn't have many at-bats, and the other choices aren't great either. Leury or Mendick. Or some frankenstein infield with Moncada or Burger at 2B, which will probably not work. Our defence is bad enough already. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Frankly our best hope is that he's not completely washed and can put up a 1.5 WAR season somehow. Our other options are trash. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spumoni 304 Posted April 29 My guess is he is DFA'd around a similar time Eaton was last year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

southsider2k5 11,688 Posted April 29 At the end of the day, yes Josh Harrison is a pretty awful player, but his being on the roster isn't the biggest problem here. When you are looking at the 11th or 12 position player on a roster, this is what you should get. The problem is they didn't upgrade the pitching, at all. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GreenSox 490 Posted April 29 (edited) We have utility infielders starting at 2B. That may not be the biggest problem, but it is a problem. They didn't need another utility infielder anyway. Edited April 29 by GreenSox 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I would still love to have Madrigal on this team for the next ~5 months and/or 5 years. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think the fact that they wasted money on players of Josh Harrison's caliber is a big issue. Harrison, Leury, VV, Cueto. That stuff adds up. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ron883 4,635 Posted April 29 Does anybody else think that Yolbert is probably a better player than Harrison and Leury at this point? Defense was always his calling card, so I'd imagine he's at least equal to Harrison in that department. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

With the number of players on this team that supposedly can't hit "because of the cold", we're dead in the water come October.

Defense was always his calling card, so I'd imagine he's at least equal to Harrison in that department. Projection systems already believe Yolbert is a better hitter than Leury, if that's something you're into. I definitely think it's possible (and maybe likely?) he's a better player than both of those guys at this point. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
