No starter no lineups posted yet

Lets return the favor and take 2 in Chicago from these bums.

no lineup no cry

unless yonder, then cry

Idk where else to put this, but baseballsavant released a new statcast metric that measures outfielder 'Jump'. Leury Garcia is 3rd in baseball behind Kiermier and Guillermo Heredia.

Alonso's lineup position/playing time finally in free fall. I wonder if TA has communicated that he prefers to hit in the bottom third. 

Ricky with two solid lineups in a row.  Not much to complain about here.  If alonso plays, the 6 spot is probably best otherwise the bottom of the order is very lefty heavy. 

I predict this is the end of the road for Yonder with another bad game

I don't think we're quite there yet, but the writing on the wall is starting to show.

Despaigne confirmed yet?  Can I update title?

He's played a really nice CF this year.  He hasn't even had more than 1-2 of his patented brain farts on throws into the IF where he misses the cut or throws to the wrong base.

It will be nice to have him as the super sup in the next few years hard to carry his OPS as a starter but as a 4th OF and backup IF it's great.

I can't believe that I agree with two straight lineups. Still may not matter if Des Plaines is on the bump.

Leury will be a FA following 2020.  I agree he'd be great in a super utility role, but unless the Sox go balls deep in FA this offseason, he's pretty much guaranteed to be used as an everyday OF next season.

Thank god it's McCann and Eloy 4 and 5.   Castillo and Yonder at 4 are great rally killers.

I talked about an extension for him the other week and thought something like 3 years 24 million but consensus seemed that was an overpay.

Yeah I thought there were contractual issues concerning the lefty 1B/DH batting 4th while sucking.

If Leury is the worst hitter in your lineup, you could do some damage. Have to find a stop gap 2B to make that happen though.

Big fan of the Scotter Gennett idea, just not sure how short term / stop gap he'd be.

It's better but Anderson (.849) 7th with Garcia (.667) 1st is still really bad

I'd love to see TA and Moncada at the top.  Leury 9.  That's 3 really pesky hitters back to back to back right before you get to the big boppers.

Meh.  Tim Anderson is very clearly not a leadoff hitter IMO.  I have zero issue with Leury batting leadoff.

What makes you say that? (re: Anderson)

I would've agreed with you last year but the quality of his PAs is awesome this year, way better than Leury's IMO.

Leury

Moncada

TA

McCann

Jose

Eloy

Yonder

Yolmer

Tilson
