Bob Sacamano Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 (edited) It's one thing to lose out on him. It's a whole other thing to lose out to the Padres.

southsider2k5 Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 Well either the Sox are really playing their part well in saying they can move on without Machado or they know that their strategy of waiting out Manny has failed. Very soon we will know which it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

he gone. Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 3 minutes ago, ptatc said: I still disagree with the win now part. One players in baseball doesn't turn a team around. They still need to stick to the rebuilding and bring the talented players up as they are ready. Machado will speed it up a little but they shouldn't abandon the plan and start signing mediocre players. Now in my context was a relative word. Now equals 2020 not 2022 in my context.

I agree I would rather just stick with him at 2B. Maybe they see him as a 3B eventually and better to transition in a down year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitesoxwinner Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 So why not play Moncada there until madrigal gets up? That makes no sense Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

he gone. Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 also that renteria quote makes no sense. why would moncada play 3rd this year, on opening day, when madrigal (the guess of why'd they move him) is down in AA ball? I can see mixing him in, but you don't make your team better by flipping Yolmer and Yoan in the IF permanently. This franchise......... Which is exactly why I don't trust them until they earn it.

Jake Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 I have to think it's more likely that we're playing a very weak hand with Lozano to show we have a long-term option at every spot in the infield. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iWiN4PreP Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 Yup -- echoing the sentiment: CALM DOWN. Until Machado/Harper sign, there's no reason to blow up based off quotes on twitter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 One thing I'm pretty confident about: If Yoan can't cut it at 2B, he'll be worse at 3B. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GermanSoxFan Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 Moncada does have good range but does not have the best hands or a great arm. White Sox: Let's move him to third. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
