DirtySox Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 (edited) The Sox should get another guy that does home run things before the trade deadline. That would be neat. Edited July 31, 2022 by DirtySox 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxjusttyped Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 The last couple weeks are the best Eloy has looked at the plate since 2020. His statcast data has been Aaron Judge level good lately. Him being healthy enough to mash could be a total game changer for this team. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even his outs are hard hit. Eloy looks dangerous again. I hope the team isn't stupid enough to trade him. Its a different lineup when he's hitting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tray Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 Our big boys have not been hitting enough HR this year. Burger added HR power to the line-up so I would like to see him back. Other thoughts: Zavala has earned a spot on the roster. He is seeing the ball and his D has improved. I was not that impressed after one good game by Sheets. I would not mind it if they sent Sheets down and brought Colas up, or traded Sheets 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Time to move him up in the lineup. Pollock should not be hitting third if Eloy is playing. Should never be in the third spot if both Eloy and Robert are both playing.

Eloy won’t be traded however because his value is at an all time low. Hahn can be dumb, but he’s not about that life. Not many GMs would do that. Yeah, Eloy can hit. Its a different lineup when he’s hitting. But him being available is the problem that has affected both him and the lineup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wegner Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 Eloy has that easy power...I do not think he will lose his power like we have seen from Grandal and Yoan. If Eloy stays healthy, he is going to hit bombs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spumoni Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 This was a game where cease wasn’t even “on” yet still easily rolled. If/when he can control all his pitches better he is going to be very scary out there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmags Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 This run from cease is every bit as good as that one Arietta run that won him a cy young but with about 1/100th of the fanfare 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Cubs though were seen as an efficiently built, talented team on the rise iirc, which was true. This season the Sox organization and team are dragging him down. If Cease did this on a 2021 team that sustained first half greatness, the hype would be pretty nice. Not that he isn’t getting shafted in general on Sportscenter and MLB.

Also the Padres got Luis Garcia for 2 years and $7 million. He's throwing 101 MPH sinkers. That's a way better investment than Kelly or Graveman.

He can barely run, putting him in the outfield is criminal. He won’t last out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
