Plus he has one of the best nicknames, "La Pinata" for his propensity for getting hit by pitch in his career. He is, but he's been hurt for over a month. No clue what's wrong with him.

June 20, 20196 yr Tilson is much better and should be playing most games regardless of whether the starter is right or left handed.

June 20, 20196 yr Just keep trotting Tilson & Cordell out there and see if one of them flashes enough to be a long-term 4th OF. At this point there isn’t really much else to do. We’re going to add a RF in the offseason so this issue will go away soon enough.
June 20, 20196 yr Tilson is the better player. I love how they keep trotting Cordell out for matchups when he can't hit RHP or LHP.
June 20, 20196 yr back when I was a kid I used to play this old fashioned card game called Stratomatic. Each team had a big stack of cards and it seemed there was always some way to maximize your lineup with the variety of scrubs that played in any given year. However, I have no idea what I would do with this RF situation in Stratomatic.

You just play the hand you've got the rest of this year and maybe get a power hitting outfielder in the off season via trade or free agency although I think the Sox have to concentrate on pitching first. What you don't wanna remember Rob Mackowiak in center? ?

June 20, 20196 yr Roll with Jay when he is healthy. The position is a dead end right now, so see if he can get hot for a few months and call it a day.

But he is better than the group we have out there. He does have hot stretches and you just have to hope for a few to make the season a little more fun.

Both Ozzie and Kenny said publicly he was signed to help at third base and in the corner outfield spots. He was forced to play in center because Anderson sucked and the team didn't have any other options. I give the guy credit for trying even though that really wasn't his spot. He was trying to help the Sox.
June 20, 20196 yr Bring up Jay. Hope he gets hot. Trade him for a lottery like a DSL kid. Bring up whoever looks it of who you sent down, Palka, etc. Rinse, repeat

He was trying to help the Sox. I don't think Brian Anderson ever got a fair shot, and I kind of wish he had. IIRC Ozzie later admitted he detested him, and didn't like that he was a ladies man. Imagine if we had evaluated any number of people (Yoan Moncada, Tim Anderson, Leury Garcia come to mind) on their first 900 big league PAs. Anderson was a defense first CF and sported a .650 OPS as a 23-26 year old. He was a nearly 0 WAR player but for reference beloved Scotty Pods had a 6.8 WAR for his whole career.

Mark Gonzales when he was the beat writer for the Sox told me a story that says something I guess about his "dedication" (for wont of a better word). The Sox were in Cleveland and before the game in the locker room Gonzo noticed that Anderson and another player (he never said who but the talk was it was Brandon McCarthy) instead of watching the video of that night's pitcher which was being shown were watching cartoons. Gonzo said it was definitely noticed by the veteran players. Maybe it was incidents like that that caused Ozzie to "hate" him?
