If the Sox DFA'd him, he'd probably be ~fine for whoever picked him up for the rest of this season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He's actually been fine in June but we are seeing him less and could be the rest is helping him stay fresh. 35 AB's in June .320 BA, .800 OPS. sparkling defense. Right at 0 fWAR. He's going to be here all year for defense alone in late innings if Moncada continues on the unhealthy or unable to hit lists. Leury's really been the terrible one with that -.9 fWAR. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We have not been good this year in piling up runs after an early lead. Need a killer instinct. No unwritten rules. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheBlackSox8 115 Posted June 21 Until the Sox DFA Leury, you can't really call them being serious about the year. Serious MLB teams would've dropped him by now...you have more than a few guys that could at least replace him, He is below REPLACEMENT level...he needs to be replaced.

Eh, You just don't DFA guys you just gave a 3 yr. contract to. You can say how bad of a contract that was for sure though. It's less than 3 months into a contract that runs for 3 yrs. He could come back and have a nice 2nd half this season in a lot less playing time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Greg Hibbard 676 Posted June 21 (edited) I think Leury is just fine and will hit his eventual .268 number he always does, but I would cut bait because Burger, Mendick, and a healthy Moncada make him obselete in the infield, and Vaughn, Eloy, Pollock, Engel, Robert make him obsolete in the outfield.

Dominikk85 654 Posted June 21 Signing leury for 3 years was just unnecessary. He is not as bad as he currently is but even if he hits for his usual 85 wrc+ such a player is dime a dozen and you should go year to year with him. Give him a 1 year deal and Play him as long he is decent Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
