I don't necessarily agree with those who believe you can't learn at the major league level. Isn't that where we have the best coaches. Who cares if he makes some rookie mistakes. At least there would be a reason to watch the game.
May 5, 20196 yr Tilson batting .333 in 110 plate appreances in Charlotte. I hope now is this kids time if he gets the call. I will be looking forward to watching him.

May 6, 20196 yr Can we credit the Engel demotion to Soxtalk? It cant be a coincidence that he was sent down the same day that the Engel vs Tilson thread appeared. Maybe Hahn's kid was on here and relayed some valuable insights to his old man lol.

Have his father resign immediately.
May 6, 20196 yr Interesting if Engel was sent down. That should be it for his career. Baseball can be cruel. Mr. Engel can sure field, but can't hit a lick. Another big league hopeful bites the dust (I realize nothing was expected of him as a 19th round pick).
May 6, 20196 yr 3 hours ago, Harper2Sox said: He also traded the decaying corpse of a former ace for Tatis Jr. Is Shields pitching this year? With our staff as lousy as it is, I wouldn't mind seeing him give it a shot. Hell if we listed all the horrible fifth starters we've had in the Robin and Ricky eras we'd think Shields was Joe Horlen/Gary Peters/LaMarr Hoyt/Jack McDowell/Alex Fernandez/Mark Buehrle incarnated
May 6, 20196 yr Luis Roberts last two games at Birmingham: 4 for 5 with a double. and today 3 doubles in one game. This after Robert was dominant at single A absolutely pulverizing the baseball. Bring him up and don't worry about the doubters and cynics. Hopefully, Eloy's ankle sprain heals enough so that he can at least DH pretty soon.
May 6, 20196 yr If we had Robert and Eloy in the lineup and picked up two free agent starters there's no reason we couldn't win this crap division.
May 6, 20196 yr When Eloy returns; Eloy Jiminez - LF Luis Robert - CF Ryan Cordell - RF Yoan Moncada - 3B Tim Anderson- SS Leury Garcia - 2B Jose Abreu - 1B Alonso - DH James McCann - C -------- There aren't many holes in that line-up. I also think Eloy will get in a little bit better shape and improve in the outfield. Remember that eye-popping catch he made in the Futures game?

If he is hitting .333 in Charlotte and continues to get better there is no reason why he cant hit .280. Thats a 60 point drop from Charlotte. You act as if I had him at .320 at the MLB level. He can do that as well, I dont put limits on players, but just give predictions.
