ChiSox59 Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 We are scary short on any sort of OF in the upper minors. No outfielder besides Tilson on that Charlotte roster will ever have any business on a major league roster. I suspect we'll see Saunders in Chicago before Delmonico and Avi are back.

GreenSox Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 (edited) Eloy has a .331 OBP in AA. He's got things to accomplish. Saunders shouldn't be anywhere near Chicago anytime this season; numerous players who need auditions before him. Still I'm not sure why Thompson's on this team (with all due respect to September, 2015). Edited May 21, 2018 by GreenSox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cordell is hurt and out for an extended period of time, so it isn't him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Replacement Level Poster Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 looking at his stat line in 17, I’m not sure this guy is an upgrade to Thompson or Engle given those two can at least not embarrass you in the OF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not going to say he's completely finished but give the man some credit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daggins Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 Anyways Saunders is good D-E-P-T-H since Thompson and Engel aren't ML hitters and Palka isn't an ML outfielder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the push might begin this year, but it's next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CWSpalehoseCWS Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 This seems like an insurance signing if Avi/Delmonico aren't ready to return mid/late-June. Although Eloy really does belong in Charlotte now. Kid has nothing left to prove in Birmingham. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 Benetti has already made his in-joke about how another year with Yolmer's Mickey Mouse ears and Melky's antics would be quite entertaining for the rebuild fans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His current slash line in Birmingham is .328/.360/.608, which seems promotion worthy to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie Tilson and his OPS in the .550s is the only guy on that Charlotte roster with a potential MLB future. Tito Polo maybe next in line, but he's been pretty bad in AA this year. There are no good OF in the Sox upper minors, and I really prefer not to see Eloy this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
