    He is guaranteed ~$25M over 23-24 (which is still a bargain). So you may get your wish before too long, as Sox probably aren't picking up those options unless Eloy is pretty good the next 18 months.

    Yeah, its disappointing. Not sure I am at pathetic yet. Some young studs just don't pan out as hoped whether it be injuries, talent or desire. Eloy is still can be elite offensive player when he plays - he certainly was 2nd half of last year. That has value. We knew pretty early on he wasn't going to be a good defender, or a pinnacle of health. The Sox still did absolutely unbelievable in that trade getting Cease and Eloy for a mid rotation (at best) SP. This is yet another disappointing bump in the road for Eloy. But its (hopefully) a short term thing, and he can still play 120+. If not, life goes on and thankfully Sox don't have a shortage of guys that can fill in at DH without being awful.

    LOL, Eloy's shoelace would definitely get caught resulting in a torn patella. Fair concern.
  4. ChiSox59
    Sox should him go hit the treadmill in the clubhouse during the half inning Sox are playing defense when his PA is coming up.
  5. ChiSox59
    That may be the case. It still was wise to remove him from the OF. Eloy is never going to play 150+. Just have to hope to get 120-130 out of him annually at the DH spot.

    It’s simple math. Keeping Eloy out of the outfield reduces his chances of getting injured substantially. Doesn’t mean he won’t get injured doing other stuff, but it definitely lowers the overall opportunities for him to get hurt. Not really that complicated.

    Fegan said it happened running the bases in the 7th on Monday.

    Doubtful, I am sure Sheets will be in there against most RHP. This also quickly underscores why the whole "lets trade Gavin Sheets for a bucket of balls" movement on WST as ST came to a close was the dumbest little 48 hour thing. Gavin was always going to be needed at some point, just happened sooner than we all hoped.

    I was wondering why Burger didn't play yesterday. Now we know.
  10. ChiSox59
    Right. It literally lowers the opportunities for him to get injured substantially. Ultimately, Eloy would probably get hurt working an office job. This one is frustrating tho -- totally out of the blue.
  11. ChiSox59
    I wouldn't mind a couple hour delay pushing this to a 3-4pm start one little bit.

    Cease had a bad spring too and looked like the best pitcher on the planet the other day. These guys don't really care about ST. They're just warming their arms up.

    I cannot see a single post on this thread. Bliss.

    I thought Gio looked pretty solid in his first start.
  15. ChiSox59
    Yeah, probably. I think Elvis can still be a useful guy to have around. I liked the signing for $3M. He provides insurance for a TA injury that won't leave us with a huge defensive liability out there. Even if Elvis is the guy he's been for the lionshare of the past half decade, he is still worth having around as a bench peice. I just don't think the Sox should pigeonhole him into 2B every single day. As I said when the Sox signed him, best case scenario is Romy, Sosa or JRod ripping that job away from him ASAP.

    Kopech will be fine.
  17. ChiSox59
    Been looking for it for awhile. Andrus deserves a spot on the bench next few games. Let Romy play for a few days, Elvis has been dreadful.
  18. ChiSox59
    Hahahahaha
  19. ChiSox59
    Maybe if he gets shelled like 5x in a row. We’re so far from that being a possibility right now. It’s literally a single start.
  20. ChiSox59
    Cueto hurt
  21. ChiSox59
    Yeah, pen needs work. Gonna have to stay afloat until Crochet and Liam are back. Sox schedule is tough in April, but opens up. Just need to not get buried next 60 days and win the series against the not great competition (Giants included in that for sure).
  22. ChiSox59
    Some fans just want to live with one foot off the edge of the cliff at all times.
  23. ChiSox59
    Lol its 5 games dude. Relax. Or don't, I don't really care.
  24. ChiSox59
    I absolutely loath weekday day games.
  25. ChiSox59
    Its an 162 game season and they just went into arguably the best team in the AL's home field and split. Sox are fine - its one game.
