Yup -
Actually a good joke but so damn frustrated by this shit offense.
-
Why does Grandal have to bat 6th? He should be batting 2nd against lefties so we actually have some runners on base for the other two guys capable of hitting a HR.

Your joke flew over my head...lol. Apologies brother.
-
Grandal should bat second against all LHP.
-
I mean, they should have sent Mercedes down for the NL series for someone who can actually play a position, so my guess is no.
-
Now do this against LHP. Then tell me how it has any predictive merit.

Cleveland sucks bro and so do these recent takes.
-
Maybe Giolito will realize he should be throwing to Grandal when facing a lefty if he wants any run support.
-
The guy who is 65% above league average against LHP, yeah he wouldn’t help.
-
It’s basically giving away a lineup spot.
-
Could also be us absorbing money to reduce prospect cost.
-
Could be unrelated but figured I’d post since a Eduardo + Soria combo was being discussed earlier in this thread.
-
Escobar was on the bench tonight, but apparently was available if needed. At least the injury concerns seem to be cleared up.

Hahn: Too early to know if Sox will be buyers
Chicago White Sox replied to southsider2k5's topic in Pale Hose Talk
That’s not him in the video per Marlins beat writer, but not sure if he had any involvement or not. Best case scenario for him is he simply reposted something tasteless, although still a bad look for him obviously. -

What’s this story about Starling Marte posting a video of a mouse getting blasted to space on a firework? Haven’t been able to find video, but the picture is definitely going to stir some shit up if he’s involved. -
And let’s be honest, we don’t have much to trade. Not sure what kind of additions are expecting.
-
I don’t think this is a one or another type thing. The Sox need will need to add two bats and will almost certainly go with a more reasonable priced option for 2B and likely explore more impactful options for the OF. Personally, I think Escobar is about as good of a rental you can get for a decent price. Versatile player, strong defender at 2B, fairly even offensive splits (101 wRC+ vs RHP, 105 vs LHP since 2017), and provides some much needed power (.211 ISO since 2017) which complements the lineup nicely. He’s also a great clubhouse guy who will help the team in whatever role they need him in. He is not a star, but he’s exactly what we need for half a year with Madrigal out.
-
I don’t think it gets a deal done today, but I think we can possibly make a deal with two of those guys come July. I would think Burger + Lambert would be an attractive package for a team like the Marlins.
-
I’m assuming Reinsdorf eats cash (at least for Escobar) and that’s reflected in the proposed price.
-
Thanks! Looks like I was was wrong on this.
-
I don’t believe so.
-
I believe he still has 32 games left on his original 80 game suspension given this was handed out in August of 2019 and the fact he didn’t play at all last year.
-
He has a 99 wRC+ for Charlotte, requires a 40 man roster spot, and would have to serve a suspension. I get he’s been hot as of late, but I hink he’s nothing more than a last ditch insurance policy.
-
I feel like this trade will ultimately be Pilkington & Bilous for Escobar.
