He never completely pauses before he comes home. This is something a lot of guys do nowadays but it isn't called. Why have the rule if it isn't enforced?

EvilJester99 Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 Yoan looks better from the right side now than he does from the left.. really pulling off the ball lefty and stayed on that one righty. Lucky break there but needed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going in the right direction I would rather see 2 walks and no HR. That would have been a better direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 On the plus side, if you put together Sanchez/Davidson at 3B and can limit Palka to DHing, then you might actually have something. Now, all we need to do is come up with 2 outfielders (one is Jimenez, obviously) and Collins/Zavala look like they will be at least league average (at worst). Theoretically, I think you sign one veteran FA outfielder (Pollock, Brantley, etc.) not named Harper, a veteran "value" 2/3 starter and bullpen help and you're not THAT far off in this division...especially with the Indians watching Encarncacion decline, Miller will be gone, Brantley won't be in their price range, and Kipnis has sucked but he's been one of their clubhouse leaders and a productive player until last year and will be missed more than they think.

greg775 Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 Palka has five home runs. He's only 26 years old. He looks perfect for this day and age of lift and pull. Sox might have to make a decision on which one of these guys will be DH of the future. Palka? Davidson? Avi? Abreu? Palka appears to have a clue.

Plus, with Leury as a super sub, it wouldn't cost you a valuable bench spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 Yolmer's penciling out somewhere in the 2.1-2.6 fWAR range for a full season. Can we live with that at 3B? Maybe. Palka is at 0.0 because of his defense...1.2 OFF and -3.8 DEF before today's game, which might have moved him up to 0.1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
