I may be crazy talking here but Yolmer is actually a very productive 2B. Maybe Moncada should be also training at 3B?

I still say CF

it's a thing of beauty, especially considering his defense is suddenly passable.

QUOTE (greg775 @ May 20, 2017 -> 08:57 PM)
The fact Avi nodded to the poster on here last night makes him one of my faves. Avi Garcia deserves credit no matter what happens the rest of the season. He's already had seven good weeks. People should be on the Avi bandwagon. If one of our young prospects was doing this, people would be having fits of joy.

 

Avi baby!

He's one of our best players so do you trade him? We traded Sale. We're gonna trade Q. He is our every day player version of those guys.

 

You can't even think about it unless he does this for two more months and someone offers a Top 25 MLB prospect or a struggling stud like Rougned Odor with longer team control.

 

Also depends on how the White Sox feel about competing in 2019, and if they want to move him to 1b/DH and give him a contract extension.

But, but... Robert!

just need to ditch todd then you can find 20 odd PA a week for Sanchez at 2B/3B, Sally is the odd man out in the IF at the moment.

Avisail Garcia ladies and gents !!

He supposedly likes 2b and was never comfortable at third. He has to prove he can't handle the position before they consider moving him.

Nah. I think he's an infielder at 2B or 3b. He could go to a corner of position but why. I still think he needs to be prepared for 3b. Yolmers production compared to other 2B is starter level.

Atta boy Timmy. Rick, leave him low in the order please.

Just got in. Have Sox announcers said anything about the Robert signing?

Why is he a 3b, but not a CF, considering his speed?

Ah I didn't know that. Keep him at 2B then. He's a future star. You want to make him as comfortable as you can. That's why I hate when the Cubs move Bryant from 3B.

Who would have thought Davidson and even Leury Garcia would pass him?

Of course but not me.

Me neither, but I'm old man who lives down the road who could be centerfield. :P

?

 

Going off of my limited tape viewing he seems to be a better fit for the infield. But I'm no expert. Of course Robert is the cf of the future and avi hopefully figured it out for one corner.

He's a great clubhouse guy and all but he's not gonna be here when we make our comeback. So yeah. Deal him if you can. And that goes for anyone that won't be here in two years.

9 game hitting streak for Yolmer.

More lines drives in this game than the entire 5-13 stretch since starting 13-9 and briefly taking first place.

Yolmer!

 

One thing you can never criticize about Avi is effort. He's always busted his ass.

QUOTE (Tony @ May 21, 2017 -> 03:03 AM)
Everything in me still says don't buy into Avi.....but it's hard not to.

I don't know what the writers and broadcasters think of Avi the person, but I'm assuming he's a prince of a person if he nodded at the Soxtalk poster last night at the game.

Also, just watching these games on mlb.com he's always hustled his ass off and has always seemed like he's cared even when butchering balls in right field.

 

What I'm trying to say is ... buy into Avi. If he turns back into Beckham the rest of the season, he'll be gone forever. So root for this man now. It was his last chance this season and he's already earned his paltry little salary. BELIEVE IN AVI. He appears to be a guy worthy of rooting for! Avi baby!

Offensive explosion!

I know first hand he's a hard worker. I was on here talking about jos rehab and how much he attacked it. I just hope he figured out how to hit. He was a guesser before.

Who are these guys

This could be a wild game. Pelphrey is eventually gonna get hit hard. I say Seattle scores six before game is over, but we should be able to win.
