Engel deserves some playing time in the second half of the year if he continues his ascent hitting-wise.

 

He fits the mold of scrappy/solid defense...likely placeholder. Would rather watch him than Tilson, in all honestly.

 

 

 

 

 

LF Avi (Delmonico/Davidson)

CF Leury/Engel/Tilson

RF W.Garcia (Delmonico?) Doesn't seem like Rymer Liriano's coming around.

 

Also, don't see any sense in giving Raburn at-bats unless they were trying to showcase him for a deadline or August trade.

When Timmy is getting XBH, you know he's back.

Nice Timmy!

Atta boy Davidson.

He threw it too high and Davidson got it

7 HR's 19 RBI's now for Davidson. Our best power hitter by far.

If only he could find a way to make more contact. So much power

Davidson is going to stick in the same way as Holmberg; teams will need specialists. They'll make carriers out of it.

7 game hitting streak for Yolmer as well.

How has Davidson looked defensively at 1B?

 

Theoretically, if you could pencil in Davidson and Avi, that makes a huge difference. Abreu. Anderson. Moncada.

 

That only leaves catcher (Collins), 3B (Saladino/Sanchez/Delmonico for now), RF and CF to fill. That's a lot more manageable than trying to find 6-7 position players. Don't think Yolmer Sanchez will be able to hold 3B due to arm, but it's a possibility.

 

You still have the draft, MAYBE a huge signing this weekend, Otani, Basabe, Adolfo and lots of trades to come.

I spent far too long trying to figure out what you meant by carriers

Air conditioners in Indiana?

 

Passenger pigeons? Ball carriers?

Three good swings for Frazier tonight!

Frazier homers

Timmy!!

Timmy with an oppo shot!! Nice power!

Anderson homers. Tie game. Rickies boys don't give up

This team exists purely to frustrate. Wimpy called it.

Timmy up to .254

Tim Anderson is so fun, man. His offensive numbers are starting to look normal-ish.

He may finally be the one to end the sox long drought of not developing a young hitter.

Willy is an outstanding defensive RF, solid defensive LF... not good at all in CF.

Tim adjusting through a prolonged slump. Super shocking.

Good to see Anderson fight back and get his average going upward.

Kahnle's K% on the season is back over 50%. What a monster.
