June 19, 20178 yr White Sox TalkVerified account @CSNWhiteSox 15m15 minutes ago White Sox send Leury Garcia to DL - http://ift.tt/2rJdsir #WhiteSoxTalk
June 19, 20178 yr The last time I can recall the Sox being so badly gutted by injuries was 1973 when they used the DL if I remember right over 30 times. At least the timing is right if it has to happen at all since this is the start of a rebuild anyway. Even so it is ridiculous and frustrating as hell to me since many of the guys hurt could potentially have been used to upgrade trades and deals.
June 19, 20178 yr Author QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 19, 2017 -> 12:20 PM) Anyone think we may see Yoan? My guess would be another OF. Engel makes more sense.
June 19, 20178 yr QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 19, 2017 -> 10:25 AM) My guess would be another OF. When is the Super 2 date?
June 19, 20178 yr Author QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 19, 2017 -> 12:25 PM) When is the Super 2 date? My guess would be mid to late July for him. Mid to late June is normal for guys with no MLB roster time previously, + the days he spent in Boston last September.

June 19, 20178 yr Author QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 19, 2017 -> 12:31 PM) Ahh, ok...I thought it was right around now. It is based on service time, so typically it is around now, but that is for guys with no other roster experience. Because Yoan got around 30 days with Boston last year, you have to add that on to whatever the deadline is.
June 19, 20178 yr QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Jun 19, 2017 -> 05:31 PM) Engel is the smart guess. Delmonico maybe a dark horse. Why Delmonico? Is he a CF'er?

June 19, 20178 yr QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Jun 19, 2017 -> 12:41 PM) Why Delmonico? Is he a CF'er? No, but he's the most major league ready bat and we need another positional guy. Hanson & Willy can continue to cover CF in the interim.
June 19, 20178 yr My guess is Jacob May. Engel is not hitting real well at Charlotte and May has been receiving some kudos for his hard work in getting back on track after that disastrous start with the big club
June 19, 20178 yr If they don't go May or Engel, the Hanson / Willy CF platoon should be intriguingly bad defensively.

Sox won't bring him up before then as I don't think they want to have to send him down for a couple weeks later in the year to prevent Super 2.

Sox won't bring him up before then as I don't think they want to have to send him down for a couple weeks later in the year to prevent Super 2. The Sox aren't big fans of guys going up and down. I think they want to get past the deadlines and call these guys up for good.

June 19, 20178 yr QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Jun 19, 2017 -> 01:07 PM) He's only a DH, though. His defense isn't playable in the Majors as of now. Yeah I'm not sure where they would play him with the current alignment because as of right now, Davidson also deserves every day at bats.

I think that once Frazier is traded, Davidson will be the everyday 3B with Delmonico at DH/occasionally spelling Abreu at 1B.

Yeah I believe so too. I was just referring to as of now with Abreu, Frazier, Davidson and Melky currently getting every day at bats. Edited June 19, 20178 yr by soxfan2014

I think once Frazier gets traded, Yoan comes up and becomes a starter at 2B. Then Yolmer becomes a roaming utility guy filling in all over the IF.
June 19, 20178 yr Voting for Engel, because of his defensive ability....and lack thereof from Hanson/W. Garcia. Plus May has really fallen off offensively in recent weeks.
